What position lift chair do you need?...
There are three distinct lift chair position varieties - 2 Position , 3 Position and Infinite Position . Below, we describe each position in detail accompanied with a graphical representation. The most important thing when looking at our examples is to understand that we have highlighted just the major positions. The lift chair can recline or lift to all in-between positions as well.
2 Position Lift Chairs
A two position lift chair is perfect for people who do not need for their liftchair to fully recline. Two Positions are classified as such because they have two major positions; straight and a slight recline. This chair is perfect for watching television. The two position lift chair isn't limited to two positions. It can recline to any position in-between straight and reclined.
3 Position Lift Chairs
A three position lift chair goes one step further than the two position lift chair in that it can almost reach a full incline. We stress almost here because the three position lift chair doesn't achieve a perfect horizontal line. There is a slight "V" where the back and seat meet. This chair is perfect for watching television and napping. The three position lift chair isn't limited to three positions. It can recline to any position in-between straight and its fully reclined position.
Infinite Position Lift Chairs
An infinite position lift chair is capable of achieving a fully reclined position. The infinite position lift chairs have dual motors, one for the back and one for the legs. Therefore the back of the lift chair can be adjusted independently from the legs. This independent adjustment allows for an "infinite" amount of positions that can be achieved.
Zero Gravity Lift Chairs
A zero gravity lift chair is capable of reclining further than any other lift chair. Not only can it do everything an infinite position lift chair can do, it can also recline so that your legs are elevated above your heart and pressure is relieved from the lower back.
