We find many of our customers are confused by the term 2 position lift chair. They believe a 2 position chair , for example, can only achieve 2 positions... its normal and reclined positions. This is far from the truth. The 2 position classification means that the chair can recline to approximately a 45 degree angle, but it can also recline to any position up to that point. You aren't locked into only 2 positions. In addition it also will lift up to provide the intended purpose of placing the user in a standing position. The chairs operate by a motor and are controlled by using the hand controller supplied with the chair. These are fully automatic lift chair recliners. We offer both Pride Lift Chairs and Golden Lift Recliners.
