What functions on the chair are powered?

The height, tilt, backrest, and brake can be powered.

How high does the seat lift chair go?

Our chairs come with two height options. The low chair can reach a height of 23.6 inches and the higher chair goes up to 29.5 inches. The seat cushion will add another 2 to 4 inches.

How much does the chair tilt?

The typical tilt is 15 degrees forward and 8 degrees backward, but we offer additional options up to 15 degrees forward and 23 degrees backward. The powered backrest can add another 30 degrees in backward tilt.

Are the armrests removable?

We offer two armrest options. The standard armrests act as lateral supports and can be adjusted up and down, as well as in and out. When in the down position, the armrests are tucked out of the way at seat level. We also offer an armrest that folds backward, behind the backrest.

Do the armrests move with the seat tilt?

We offer two options. Armrests that move with the seat tilt, or armrests that are stationary when the seat tilts.

Does the chair have a brake?

Yes, the chair has a safety brake. The brake works by lifting the two back wheels slightly off the ground. This keeps the adaptive seating devices from moving when weight is applied to the seat.

Do you offer footrests?

Yes, we offer various types of footrests. Some are removable, some fold out of the way, and some are stationary.

What other accessories are available?

We have a wide selection of accessories. Almost anything you can get for a powered wheelchair is available for our chairs. These accessories include leg rests, headrests, neck rests, seat belts, push bars, armrests, tables, seats, backrest covers, leg supports, side supports, thigh supports, and abduction blocks, plus many more. See our list of accessories for more information.

How big is the chair?

The frame for the child’s chair is 16.9 inches wide. The adult chair frame is 18.9 inches wide. The seat cushion and armrests add extra width, but the total width is usually less than 26 inches. This allows the chairs to fit comfortably through most doorways and around most homes.

How much does the chair weigh?

The final weight of the chair depends on the configuration and accessories. The pediatric and adult chairs usually weigh between 40 and 80 pounds.

What is the weight limit for the seat lift chairs?

The pediatric chair has a weight limit of 154 pounds, the adult chair can support up to 330 pounds, and the limit for the bariatric chair is 605 pounds.

What fabrics are available and in what colors?

We have cloth and artificial leather fabrics available. Our color selection can be found here. All of our cushions are upholstered in-house. If you have a different fabric or color you would like to use, we can customize the cushions for you.

Do you have covers for the seat and backrest?

Yes, we have washable covers for both the seat and backrest in matching cloth. We also offer waterproof covers in gray. All of our covers are machine washable.

Are your seat and backrest covers washable?

Yes, you can remove the seat and dynamic backrest to wash them. Be sure to wash them delicately so you don’t damage the major components or any critical components.

Do you have a waterproof seat and backrest cover?

Yes, we have good quality waterproof covers available in gray.Check out the reviews from our existing customers and see how satisfied they are!

What is a Seat Lift Chair?

A lift chair, sometimes called a bariatric lift chair, is an easy-to-use recliner-style chair that has a powered lift to help people get out of the chair from a seated position. The powerlifting mechanism, also known as the seat lift mechanism, pushes the entire seat up from its base to help the user stand up. For some people, this might seem like a luxury. But for others, it’s a medical necessity to maintain an optimal level of comfort.

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

Lifting chairs can help seniors and others with limited mobility safely and comfortably stand up from a sitting position. For seniors who struggle with getting into a standing or seated position, the seat lift mechanism can help decrease pain and possibly even ease anxiety. EMP Living’s seat lift chair offers a safer alternative for seniors who struggle to sit or walk and try to overcompensate using their arms.

Easy to Use Seat Lift Chairs

The REAL Lift comes with powered height and tilt controls. The controls for the motorized seat lift mechanism, mechanical lift, or integrated lift are located under the armrests. They are easy to operate, and the powered height control allows you to raise and lower the chair while seated. It is the ideal seat lift chair for anyone who can benefit from extra mobility and comfort in their home.

The REAL Lift Chair Allows for Mobility
