People have been using lift chairs in increasing numbers since they were first designed during the 1980′s, with many seniors taking advantage of the powerful lifting aids. Unlike regular recliners, which can be very difficult to get out of for some seniors, such as those with rheumatoid arthritis, lift chairs are designed to make standing and sitting safe and easy. There are many lift chair models available, but they usually share a similar design.

The lift chair is one of the more common tools used to help improve accessibility at home. These home lifting aids are designed to make it possible to stand and sit without requiring assistance. In addition to making it life easier for those with leg and hip problems, such as arthritis, liftchairs also provide a very comfortable place to sit and relax, offering the same functionality of a regular Lazy-Boy Style recliner.
