If a beloved family or friend has reduced mobility issues then a lift chair and/or medical recliner is literally a God-send.

Mobility issues often occur due to common medical issues and can disrupt their physical and psychological well-being.

Such difficulties are even common among middle-aged adults. Mobility issues are associated with a lack of freedom to perform daily activities and can lead to heightened depression, anxiety and in some cases poverty. These predicaments highlight the need for widespread awareness and due care for family and friends with mobility problems.

“As per an assessment of the national prevalence of mobility difficulties among non-institutionalized adults and associations with demographic characteristics and other physical and mental health problems, a cross-sectional survey was done using the 1994–1995 National Health Interview Survey-Disability Supplement (NHIS-D).

An estimated 19 million people (10.1%) reported some mobility difficulty. The mean age of those with minor, moderate, or major difficulty ranged from 59 to 67 years. Of those reporting major difficulties, 32% said their problems began at aged 50 years or younger. Adjusted problem rates were higher among women (11.8%) than men (8.8%), and higher among African Americans (15.0%) than whites (10.0%).

Persons with mobility difficulties were more likely to be poorly educated, living alone, impoverished, obese, and having problems conducting daily activities. Among persons with major mobility difficulties, 30.6% reported being frequently depressed or anxious, compared to 3.8% for persons without mobility difficulties.”¹

Messiah of Comfort

You can be the messiah of comfort for your loved ones by buying an international standard lift chair.

Some issues that such people face come from getting too comfortable in their living room’s sofa or deep chair. Since they have a deep bucket type seat, people tend to sink in and find it quite difficult to get back up on their own. So, people with mobility issues tend to avoid such comfy seats for their own good.

This is where you come in and decide that comfort should not be restricted to only the healthy among us. Buying them our awesome lift chairs will mean that they will no longer be required to make this unnecessary compromise.

A lift chair not only provides better comfort at the push of a button but removes the necessity to depend on someone. It has the mechanism to comfortably lift the person from a seated position to a vertical position, which will help them easily get up without calling out for help.

Help the Helpless

Not many care to discuss their problems with others as it makes them feel needy or helpless, and especially if it’s regarding mobility issues.

A bigger problem arises when you plan to gift them medical aids to help in their mobility as they might be offended and it could make the relationship awkward going forward.

However, a lift chair is something that can bridge the gap between the awkwardness and your intention to help the helpless. A lift chair is not always seen as a medical aid for the old and feeble but is somewhat of a luxury item to have in your living room.

It passes off as a comfortable chair that helps a person get up when they don’t have the physical power to do so.

So, in conclusion, your gift of an exclusive lift chair to your loved one will make them feel special and hopefully give a head start to a conversation to have at a later date about their declining mobility needs, and pave the way to order and accept other mobility aid devices such as wheelchairs, walkers etc.

Fits right in

There are many qualms about having medical aid equipment around the home as it gives guests the impression of being ‘handicapped’.

Gifting other aid equipment like wheelchairs and safety bars can create an impression of the homeowner being feeble, but our strong, sturdy and stylish lift chairs/recliners fit right in along with other home furniture.

This will make them accept this lovely gift as it won’t give anyone the impression of needing help; and with our variety of colours and designs, you can choose the right piece to suit their already existing interiors and furniture.

Freedom from Fear

Not many would like to keep asking for help to get up when they are comfortably seated in their evening chair.

Our lift chairs/recliners give them freedom from the fear of always asking and needing help for the most simple of acts of standing up from your chair.

It is also a comfortable sitting surface if you are looking to read a book, knit a sweater, take a nap or watches TV with adjustable back and footrests.

We carry 2 types of Power Reclining Lift Chairs:

3 Position Lift Chairs

These offer an extended reclining backrest that can be positioned in a number of recline angles, and with an ottoman, ideal for those seeking a bit more recline when watching television or relaxing.

These chairs can recline to an almost flat position and can stop at any degree of recline in between. With an ottoman, it is possible to sleep comfortably in this chair, as well as read and watch your favourite show.

Infinite Position Lift Chairs

Also known as zero-gravity or full recline chairs, these chairs offer a full range of recline, all the way to a true sleeping position, with independently elevating ottoman for optimal comfort. They can recline into a completely flat position (where the backrest is parallel to the floor) and everything in between.

Some models can lift a person’s feet above their head into the Trendelenburg position or lift a person’s feet above their heart into the zero-gravity position.

Exemplary Features

Our lift chairs offer great value with features like an integrated battery back-up, a full chaise pad, a heavy-duty motor and actuator, and an extremely durable frame, superior design with exceptional strength! Our lift chairs come with dual side pockets that can conveniently store your TV remote, newspaper, or whatever else you want at hand’s reach and easy-to-use hand control.

These plush and welcoming chairs provide not only a contemporary appeal but are finely crafted with durable and long-lasting components. The lift actuator is heavy-duty without sacrificing a quiet and smooth operation.

Conclusion

A Lift Chair or Medical Recliner is the perfect first step for restoring your loved one’s long lost independence at home and a giant leap towards building a long-lasting and sustainable relationship with them.

Your new lift chair should make you more comfortable and make it easier to get up. However, that’s not to say that you won’t need to work your muscles anymore. You must continue doing what you are able to do — walking (even if you need a cane or walker), exercising, and whatever it takes to maintain strength and mobility.²
