Ranges reflect the rated capacities of models and size options in our collections. The higher capacities apply only to specific heavy-duty or extra-wide configurations. Confirm the manufacturer’s rated capacity for the exact model, size and configuration.
Start with the right fit. More features or a larger chair do not automatically mean more comfort. Compare your measurements with the exact seat dimensions, weight capacity and positioning options.
Think about where you will place your chair, how you like to sit and which adjustments you want close at hand. We can help you compare the details without making the choice feel overwhelming.
Start with seat height, width and depth. Check the manufacturer’s recommended user height and weight capacity. A petite chair and a tall chair can feel very different, even when they share the same reclining features.
For straightforward reclining, explore three-position models. If you want separate control of your back and legs, compare infinite-position options. For zero-gravity, powered headrest, lumbar or tilt features, check the exact model and configuration.
Try the hand control and check whether its buttons feel easy to use. Compare fabric samples, cleaning instructions and optional features such as heat and massage before selecting your chair.
Allow enough space for the chair to lift and recline. Check the required wall clearance, fully reclined length and doorway widths. Ask our team about delivery and setup options for your location.

MEDEQUIP SHOP VIDEO GUIDE
Watch our guide to what Medicare may cover and the costs to consider. MedEquip Shop is a cash-pay provider and does not bill insurance.
A power lift chair is a recliner with a motorized lifting mechanism that raises and tilts the seat to assist you as you move toward standing. Reclining functions and controls vary by model.
Three-position chairs generally move the backrest and footrest together. Infinite-position models offer independent movement so you can adjust your back and legs separately. Check the controls and positioning of the exact chair.
Zero-gravity positioning is a supported reclined position with your legs elevated relative to your torso. It is a positioning feature available on certain models, rather than a separate size or weight-capacity rating.
Compare seat width, seat depth, seat height and the manufacturer’s recommended user height. Your feet should be supported when upright, and the seat should fit your body comfortably. Try a chair in the showroom when possible.
Use the manufacturer’s published capacity for the exact model, size and configuration you order. A collection name or a wider seat does not establish a chair’s weight rating.
Measure the available floor space, doorways and delivery route. Check the chair’s fully reclined dimensions and required distance from the wall in its specifications or manual.
No. Heat, massage, adjustable lumbar support and powered headrests depend on the model and selected options. Review what is included in your exact configuration before ordering.

Call MedEquip Shop to discuss delivery, setup, access requirements and any fees for your location. Confirm timing and the services included before placing your order.
Backup systems vary by model. Some provide limited return movement, while others have different battery options. Follow the exact chair’s manual and ask us to explain its backup system before you purchase.
Follow the upholstery care label and the manufacturer’s instructions. Keep the mechanism clear of objects, protect electrical components from moisture and inspect the cord and hand control regularly.
