Our electric lift chairs (also called lift recliners or rise and recline chairs) are powered armchairs designed to help users sit down and stand up safely and independently. At the press of a button, the chair gently tilts forward to bring the user to a near-standing position, then reclines for comfortable, supported relaxation. They are ideal for older adults, people with limited mobility or strength, and anyone who finds getting in and out of a standard armchair difficult.
Comfortable enough for everyday lounging and practical enough to reduce strain on joints and carers, a lift recliner can make a real difference to independence at home. Browse our range below, or contact our team for help choosing the right model.
When selecting a lift recliner, consider the user’s height and weight (for the right seat size and capacity), how many positions they need (a simple lift-and-recline, or a chair that lies almost flat), and whether extra features like massage or full transfer assistance would help. If you are caring for someone with complex seating or pressure-care needs, we recommend an occupational therapy assessment to confirm the right chair. Not sure where to start? Contact our team and we will guide you.
Lift chairs may be funded for some users through ACC or Ministry of Health equipment funding (administered by Enable New Zealand or Accessable), usually following an occupational therapy assessment. We can provide a detailed quote or invoice to submit to your funder. Please note we are not a registered supplier with these bodies — approval, eligibility and payment are determined by your funder, not by us. Contact our team for a quote.
Lift chairs ship New Zealand-wide. For help choosing the right model, contact our team by phone or email — support is provided remotely; we do not have a physical outlet or on-site installation service in New Zealand.
What is a lift chair?
A lift chair (or lift recliner) is a powered armchair that tilts forward at the press of a button to help the user rise to a near-standing position, and reclines back for comfortable sitting or resting. It is designed to make standing up and sitting down safer and easier.
Who are lift recliners for?
They suit older adults, people with limited leg or core strength, those recovering from surgery or injury, and anyone who finds getting in and out of a normal armchair difficult. They also reduce physical strain on carers.
What is the difference between a single-motor and dual-motor lift chair?
A single-motor chair moves the backrest and leg rest together. A dual-motor chair moves them independently, so the user can recline the back while keeping the legs down, or raise the legs while sitting upright — giving more positioning options and a flatter recline.
Can a lift chair help with pressure relief?
Reclining and tilting let the user change position and redistribute body weight, which can help with comfort and pressure management. For users with significant pressure-care needs, we recommend an occupational therapy assessment to choose the right chair and cushioning.
Will it fit through my doorways and in my room?
Most lift chairs are designed for standard homes, but always check the chair’s dimensions against your space, and allow clearance behind the chair for the recline. Contact us if you need the measurements for a specific model.
