Do you need a straight back, two, three or infinite position lift chair? Straight back lift chairs do not recline. Because they are lighter and more portable, straight back lift chairs are better suited for dinner table, living room, office or any room where assistance is needed. 2-position lift chairs have 2 recline positions: straight, and "TV recline", which is leaned slightly back for reading, relaxing or watching television. 3-position lift chairs have 3 recline positions: straight, TV recline and "full recline". Infinite position lift chairs have independently operated back and leg movement for an infinite number of recline positions from straight up to "sleep recline", which is all way flat like a bed.

Do you require heat and massage from your lift chair? Some lift chairs come with a heat & massage option which operates on lower back only. Deluxe heat & massage is also available on some lift chairs, which heats and massages lower back, seat and legs.
