Pride VivaLift! Ultra review

We priced the Medium. Seller's guidance on height: 5'4" to 5'9" (Medium); Large goes to 6'6" per the seller. It is rated for 400 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.

Pride's own question is a good one: "If a recliner leans back, isn't it already tilting?" On the Ultra, the whole chair pivots from the rear, "similar to a rocking chair", raising the front of the seat. The result, Pride says, is "a seriously comfortable zero-gravity experience", knees above the heart. Combined with true infinite positioning, it is the most flexible recline in the Pride range we compare.

Three heating pads in the shoulders, lumbar and seat, with three heat levels, and an air-bladder system that presses gently on the lower back at three intensities. The heat and massage buttons sit on the inside of the armrest, which is easier than hunting through a remote. The cup holder and wireless charging pad hide in the arm.

Small, Medium and Large; the Medium is listed for 5'4" to 5'9" with a 22.5-inch seat 19.5 inches off the floor. Standard Capriccio fabric in Cappuccino, Dove, Slate and Smoke; Trento fabric on Medium and Large; Sorrento leather for $500 more at the seller. The seller listed the Small at $2,375 and the Large at $2,414.

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.
