About Lift Chairs: There are essentially three types of lift chairs: two-position, three-position, and infinite-position. The basic difference is the degree of recline the chair offers. Two-position chairs offer a slight recline, suitable for watching television or reading. Three-position chairs offer a full recline, great for napping or sleeping. Infinite-position chairs offers the deepest recline, the best for sleeping. Most styles are either two or three-position chairs. Each type offers a range of styles and colors, with additional features such as heat or massage available on some models.
The overall capabilities of each type of chair are identical. Most lift chairs stand you up and lift your legs to about the same height.
Most models have a weight capacity of around 375 pounds. We also have lift chairs that have weight capacities of 500, 600 and 700 pounds. Different models come in different sizes, from petite to large and extra large. Some models have additional features and accessories available, such as heat and massage, a bed option with mattress, lumbar pillow, head pillow, or hands-free speaker phone.
Here are the key differences between two- and three-position chairs:
Recline: Two-position recliners need to be placed ten inches away from the wall for the full recline of 45 degrees. While this is fine for sitting, most people are unable to comfortably nap in two position chairs. Three-position chairs need to be placed fifteen inches from the wall for a recline of 75 degrees. Feedback from customers tells us most people can comfortably nap or even sleep in their recliners.
Comfort: Two-position chairs don’t feel quite as cushioned as three-position chairs. They have an opening between the seat and leg rest, meaning the seat is firmer and there isn’t any support for the back of the legs. Three-position recliners are more plush. These models have a generous chaise lounger pad that is attached to the seat for extra comfort and extends to the back of the legs. The padding also keeps items from falling between the seat and leg rest.
Size: Two-position chairs are only of standard height and width, generally twenty inches wide arm to arm, and nineteen inches in seat depth. Three-position lift chairs are usually available in more sizes. These models can accommodate a very petite person to an extremely tall or overweight individual. The height and widths of these chairs depend upon the model selected.
