Adaptive Seating for Independent Living

The REAL Lift is part of our adaptive seating lineup, which includes lift power chairs, office lift chair models, and kitchen lift chair configurations—all designed to help people live more independently. With options ranging from a power lift office chair or electric lift office chair to a kitchen lift chair for elderly users, each piece supports mobility and encourages a more active life. Our design philosophy focuses on safety, comfort, and freedom of movement, ensuring that individuals with handicaps or other medical conditions have the features they need to stay mobile and engaged.

Kitchen Lift Chairs

Our kitchen lift chairs are the perfect lift chairs for kitchen table seating. These kitchen chairs incorporate a portable lift system to raise and lower the seat for easy sit-to-stand transitions. With ample weight capacity, an adjustable seat lift mechanism, and smooth-rolling wheels, you can glide between countertops and dining areas effortlessly. 

Thanks to a compact width and maneuverable design, our kitchen lift chair easily slides under most tables, turning any setup into a lift dining chair suitable for extended hours of mealtime or socializing.

School Lift Chair

Designed to fit multiple desk positions, our school lift chair merges the functionality of a motorized office chair with the safety and assist benefits of a chair lifter. It serves as an office chair with a brake and electric lift for educational settings, helping students with limited mobility maintain independence and comfort. The adjustable height and seat depth accommodate various ages, while the easy-roll wheels allow travel across classrooms, hallways, and other school areas. 

With stable armrests and optional footrest, the school lift chair provides relief and promotes better posture, making it a helpful assistive device for extended hours at a desk.

Adaptive Office Lift Chair

For a professional environment, the adaptive office lift chair offers lift desk chair features in a style that suits modern workplaces. Also referred to as a lifting office chair or lift office chair, it combines the tech of an electric lift office chair with ergonomic enhancements such as an adjustable headrest, contoured lumbar support, and a secure chair base. 

Ideal for home offices or corporate settings, this sit-to-stand chair improves blood circulation and promotes independence, helping users move from seated to standing positions with minimal strain.

What is a Seat Lift Chair?

A seat lift chair is a type of chair with lift functionality that helps users transition from sitting to standing by gently raising the seat. The electric chair lifts built into these chairs deliver a chair lift motion using a seat lift mechanism. For many, a lift chair is more than a luxury: it’s a medical necessity that alleviates discomfort, aids in home care, and assists those with handicaps or medical conditions. From portable seat lift options to lift recliner chairs, these lift chairs cater to a broad range of needs and ensure better safety during everyday routines.

A chair with a lifting seat improves the lives of elderly individuals and people with limited mobility.

Lifting chairs not only support seniors but also individuals with mobility challenges due to age-related muscle weakness, severe arthritis, neuromuscular disease, and more. By acting as a stand up chair, they minimize the risk of falls and help users maintain better body alignment during positioning. This relief can also reduce mental stress or anxiety associated with struggling to sit or stand. A lift chair can be especially valuable for those who try to compensate with their arms or rely on others for help, offering independence and promoting life quality.

Built for safety and independence, the REAL Lift’s thoughtful design includes a supportive headrest, padded armrests, and an optional footrest to ensure body alignment and positioning comfort for hours at a time.

Easy-to-Use Seat Lift Chairs

The REAL Lift integrates a mechanical lift system with powered height and tilt controls, making it convenient for everyday mobility needs. Notable features include:

  • User-Friendly Controls: Simple up/down buttons and a handle located under the armrests enable quick and effortless position adjustments.
  • Compact & Quiet Operation: Its streamlined design easily fits through standard doorways and operates with minimal noise, making it suitable for multiple rooms in the home.
  • Sturdy Construction: Built to support a high weight capacity, the REAL Lift provides stability and durability, potentially eliminating the need for a stair lift or incline lift in single-story spaces.
  • Cost & Tech Advantages: Enjoy both style and function at a lower price than many traditional wheelchair setups—backed by our price guarantee.

The REAL Lift Chair Allows for Mobility

Each REAL Lift Chair doubles as a portable lift, thanks to its 4-inch wheels and 360-degree ball-bearing rotation. Unlike heavy lift chairs for big people that can’t easily move between rooms, the REAL Lift’s nimble design allows it to travel over different surfaces, including rugs or light thresholds. With the robust chair base attachments ensuring safety and stability, you can confidently move from the kitchen to your office or bedroom. The REAL Lift effectively merges the mobility of a wheelchair with the versatility of a lift chair, giving you the best of both worlds.

Compact Frame

Though it has a smaller width akin to petite lift chairs, the REAL Lift does not compromise on comfort. Its seat depth suits a wide range of users, while the frame is engineered to fit through standard doorways and tight hallways. The footrest and armrests can be customized for better positioning, and the overall design aligns with popular lift chair recliner aesthetics. Compact yet sturdy, the REAL Lift maintains a high weight capacity, making it a valuable home care solution for users of different body types and needs.

Should I Choose an EMP Living Mobility Device?

EMP Living mobility devices are designed to work in tandem with your natural leg movement by providing electric assistance rather than complete motorization. This means they enhance your mobility if you still have some leg function. However, if you are unable to use your legs at all, a fully electric wheelchair or a traditional wheelchair might better suit your needs.

What is the difference between the adaptive seating models offered by EMP Living?

EMP Living’s adaptive seating range covers options for both pediatric and adult lift chair models, ensuring that all users can find a design suited to their needs. Key distinctions include:

  • Size and Dimensions: Pediatric versions feature a smaller chair base and seat depth, while adult or bariatric choices have larger dimensions to accommodate different body types.
  • Lift Power: Bariatric models often include two height adjustment actuators to provide extra lift power, making them suitable for lift chairs for big people.
  • Tilt Function: Some chairs offer a tilt function for enhanced positioning and comfort. Larger bariatric chairs, however, may not include this feature due to their reinforced design requirements.
  • Reinforced Design: Bariatric chairs focus on higher weight capacity and durability, featuring sturdier frames and components.
  • Specialized Options: EMP Living also provides electric lift office chairs, power lift office chairs, and office chairs with brake and electric lift, allowing you to choose the best chair lifter model to meet your mobility needs.

Are Seat Lift Chairs Usually Covered by Insurance?

Many medical lift chairs—including portable seat lift variants—qualify for coverage under certain insurance plans if prescribed as medical devices or a medical necessity. Coverage differs by provider and plan, but common reimbursements may apply to parts of the lift power chairs or the seat lift mechanism itself. Consult your insurance to determine potential coverage and any documentation required. Our team at EMP Living is happy to help you navigate price details, reimbursements, and our price guarantee to ensure you find the most cost-effective lift chair solution for your home and mobility needs.
