Golden MaxiComforter PR535
Medium · Chenille fabrics with stain defense (Golden: Anchor, Bittersweet, Oxford, Port, Sandstorm)
9.6/10 · No. 1 of 14 · $1,793, Nov 11, 2026
The MaxiComforter comes first in our formula, and not because it is flashy. It is the chair that gets the basics right for the most people: an infinite-position recline, a lifetime warranty on the frame, lift and recline mechanisms, and $1,793 for the Medium at Lift-Chairs.com on November 11, 2026.
Golden sells it from Petite (for users from 4'6") to Tall (up to 6'8"), plus two wide versions rated 500 and 600 lb. Few chairs fit that many bodies with the same mechanism.
The catch: heat, massage and a footrest extension are paid options ($316 for heat and massage), so the price climbs if you want the extras.
We priced the Medium. Seller's guidance on height: 5'4" to 5'10" (Medium); the range runs from 4'6" (Petite) to 6'8" (Tall). That size is rated for 400 lb; other sizes of the same model go up to 600 lb. Every size and seat measurement we found is in the specs below.
Two quick checks at home before you order: measure the seat-to-floor height of the chair your parent finds easiest to sit in today and compare it with the size you are looking at, then measure the doorway the chair has to pass through. The seller does not state a wall clearance for this model, so ask before you order if the room is tight.
The PR535 is the current version of Golden's long-running Comforter, rebuilt with MaxiComfort positioning. Golden calls the seat its "most sought-after signature seat" and says the refresh brought extra arm padding and arms that reach further forward.
On the Medium we priced, the seat is 20 inches wide and 20 deep, 20 inches off the floor, inside a chair 32 inches wide overall. The recline is "infinite position": the back and the footrest move separately, so your parent can keep her feet up while sitting upright to eat, or lean back without raising her legs.
If the seat is too high, short users perch with their feet dangling; too low, and tall users fold up like a deck chair. Golden makes the MaxiComforter in a Petite (listed for 4'6" to 5'3"), Medium (5'4" to 5'10"), Large (5'11" to 6'2") and Tall (6'3" to 6'8"), plus a Medium Wide rated to 500 lb and a Large Wide rated to 600 lb.
On November 11, 2026, Lift-Chairs.com listed the Petite at the same $1,793 as the Medium, the Large at $1,881, the Tall at $2,065 and the 600 lb Large Wide at $2,445. Measure the user before you choose: our size guide shows how.
Lift-Chairs.com lists a lifetime warranty on the chair frame, lift frame and recline mechanisms, 3 years on electrical parts, 1 year of electrical labor, 3 years of mechanical labor, and pro-rated coverage in years 4 to 7. The seller adds a 1-year in-home parts and labor warranty on new chairs.
The catch: The comfort extras cost extra. Heat and massage is a $316 option and the footrest extension is optional too, so a fully loaded MaxiComforter lands well above $2,000. The 20-inch seat on the Medium is also on the narrow side for a broad frame: look at the wide versions in that case.

A lift chair is a heavy box. Plan where it goes, clear the path from the door, and check the carton for shipping damage before you sign for it.

Read the Golden Comforter PR-531 Wide reviewHead-to-heads: Golden MaxiComforter PR535 vs Pride VivaLift! Tranquil 2 · Golden MaxiComforter PR535 vs Pride VivaLift! Radiance
Ranked in: Best lift chairs for elderly parents · Best infinite position lift chair · Best heavy duty lift chair · Best lift chair with heat and massage · Best small lift chair for petite users
Only as an option. Lift-Chairs.com listed Golden's Tranquil-Ease heat and massage at $316 on the MaxiComforter. If you want heat and massage built in, look at the Pride VivaLift! Ultra or the Journey Perfect Sleep Chair.
Start with the user's height: Petite for about 4'6" to 5'3", Medium for 5'4" to 5'10", Large for 5'11" to 6'2" and Tall for 6'3" to 6'8", per the seller's listings. If the user weighs more than 400 lb, the wide versions are rated 500 and 600 lb.
400 lb for the Medium size we priced, up to 600 lb in other sizes of the same model. Treat it as a hard limit: it is what the lift mechanism is rated for.
Medicare Part B can cover the seat-lift mechanism of a lift chair (not the chair itself) when strict medical criteria are met and you buy from a Medicare-enrolled supplier that accepts assignment. Lift-Chairs.com sells it as a cash purchase. Read our Medicare guide before you order.
