Benefits of a Zero Gravity Lift Chair

zero gravity lift chair

If you need to spend a lot of time in your zero gravity lift chair, you should think about investing in one. While most reclining lift chairs require an expansive amount of space between them and a wall, zero gravity lift chairs require a larger distance. A zero gravity chair, like the VivaLift Escape, requires approximately 18 inches of space away from a wall to function properly. In addition, many models are built with ample lifting power, so if you do need to install a zero gravity lift chair, you should have plenty of space available.

Pride’s Essential 3-Position chair is a good value and comes with features such as dual side pockets and a smooth lift system. It is available in four microsuede fabric colors and is sold at Amica Medical Supply. For additional plush comfort, consider the Golden MaxiComforter, which has a heated seat, and a massage option. This chair is also available in a variety of colors and comes with a variety of accessories, including a remote control.

Another benefit of a zero gravity lift chair is improved circulation. The open angle of your torso and thighs allows blood to circulate better and reduces varicose veins and swelling. Additionally, this type of chair allows you to enjoy a more relaxed state because your torso and legs can naturally rest in the same position as your heart. And because of the seated position, it is possible to enjoy all of the positions available on it without feeling strained or uncomfortable.

The Cloud by Golden Technologies is another option for a zero gravity chair. It has an impressive lift capacity of 325 pounds and offers USB ports and comfortable upholstery. It is also built solidly and is made of high-quality leather. However, the price of the chair does not include the cost of the fine leather. The base price is a bit high, but it is definitely worth the money. It is a good option for people who cannot fit into a standard size chair.

Most zero gravity chairs have locking mechanisms to prevent accidental movement while in zero-gravity mode. These mechanisms are found on manual zero gravity chairs designed for outdoor use. A manual zero gravity lift chair will typically lock at an angle when pushed. However, a powered zero gravity lift chair will usually lock at the desired angle with a remote control or power buttons. Most models also feature memory options, which allow you to lock the chair into a particular position without having to push a button.

Lift Chair Types & Positions

There are three types of lift chairs: two position lift chairs, three position lift chairs, and infinite position lift chairs.
Two position lift chairs can go into the sitting and 15° recline position. The back and ottoman does not move independently.
Three position lift chairs can go into the sitting, 15° recline, and 45° recline position. The back and ottoman does not move independently.
Infinite position lift chairs can go recline into any position, even 90°. If an infinite position lift chair offers a Zero-gravity position, it means that the sitter's body is positioned in a way that reduces stress on the joints. The Trendelenburg position is one where the sitter's feet are higher than his/her head. The sleep position is one where the sitter lays flat.

Lift Chair Shipping & Handling

Lift chairs are shipped with freight shipping. A truck will come to one's house and drop the box off where it is convenient. This is usually the driveway but, for individuals with long driveways or are on dirt roads, it can mean around the block. Lift chairs weight at least 100 pounds so, be prepared with helpers to bring it inside. With most companies, the delivery person will not deliver the lift chair into one's home unless in-home delivery has been ordered. Lift chairs also require assembly. Once again, it costs extra (called "white glove delivery"). Have helpers for assembly. In conclusion, on delivery day, have 2 strong individuals who can bring the chair into the home and assembly the chair.
