A good deal of the time seniors who are not able stand must find different ways of getting up. These different ways of standing up can involve using a cane or walker or having a caretaker or friend assist them. Both of these are not the best though, since these methods can be expensive or dangerous.

Lift chairs solve these concerns. The base of a lift chair recliner contains a very powerful lift system, which is used to raise the lift chair and the person sitting in it slowly into the air. When the chair is at its apex the occupant can transfer out of the lift chair, safely and securely in an upright position.

Another issue that seniors often face is reclining the chair. Many of people have a hard time a traditional recliner. This is as a result of the way regular sitting chairs demand the person sitting in the chair to use their back pressure to recline the chair. As soon as you move, the chairs back can come up. This can make finding and keeping a comfortable position very difficult and sometimes even frustrating. Even small things, like getting a drink off the nightstand cause the recliner to rise.

Lift chair recliners solve this issue. These chairs utilize an electric backrest and footrest. An electric motor located in the chairs base and allows the lift recliners occupant to quickly locate a comfortable position and hold it.

The chair is controlled using an easy to use control unit, that is almost always attached to the lift chair recliner. The control features only a few buttons, that are spaced far enough apart that there is no concern about pressing the wrong one. Even those that by accident push the wrong button, the chair moves at an extremely slow rate, so there is no chance of a fall. In addition the lifting recliner utilizes a consistent pressure button. This means the lift chair only moves if the occupant is pushing a hand control.

The inability to stand up by yourself is something that greatly limit a persons ability to act independently. Many manufacturers offer a complete life time warranty. Now most individuals purchase their lift chair online. This can be less expensive than purchasing from a traditional store. The cost of shipping is usually included and as an extra option there is a professional un-boxing and set up service available.
