Lift chairs look like a regular recliner but include a powered lifting mechanism that gently tilts the chair forward, making it easier to stand.
For people with arthritis, mobility challenges, or anyone recovering from surgery, a power lift chair provides safe, reliable support you can count on.
APA Medical carries Golden Technologies lift chairs, America’s leading brand of power recliners. Built to last, backed by lifetime warranties, and available in a wide range of fabrics and styles, Golden chairs combine comfort with long-term peace of mind.
1. Reduce the risk of injury
Standing up from a traditional chair can strain joints and increase the chance of falls. With a lift chair, the motorized lift takes the effort out of rising and sitting. This keeps you steady on your feet and reduces the risk of injury for you and for anyone assisting you.
2. Support recovery after surgery or injury
If you are healing from surgery or dealing with limited mobility, a lift chair helps you move safely throughout the day. Many models recline fully, allowing you to rest, reduce swelling, and improve circulation. Adjustable positions also relieve pressure points and prevent stiffness.
3. Maintain independence
Needing help to stand can feel frustrating. A power lift chair restores independence by letting you sit and rise on your own. At the end of the day, when you are ready for bed, the chair does the work for you. This reduces the risk of falls and gives you more confidence at home.
4. Improve posture and comfort
Lift chairs do more than help you stand. They help you sit better. Multiple positioning options let you stay upright for reading, elevate your legs to ease swelling, or recline for full relaxation. By supporting proper posture, lift chairs can reduce shoulder fatigue and improve overall comfort.
5. Provide therapeutic relief
From arthritis to back pain, lift chairs offer relief for sore joints and muscles. Heat, massage, and power headrest options add therapeutic benefits, turning your chair into a daily wellness tool. Many people even choose their lift chair as their preferred place to nap because of its versatility and support.
