Frequently Asked Questions – 3-Position Lift Chairs
What is a 3-position lift chair?
A 3-position lift chair is a power recliner that offers three main positions: upright sitting, reclining, and a gentle lift position to help you stand. Models like the Golden PR531 are designed to make sitting down and standing up easier while still providing a comfortable place to relax throughout the day.
Who benefits most from a lift chair?
Lift chairs are commonly used by seniors, people recovering from surgery, or anyone who has difficulty standing from a seated position. Customers often choose a lift chair to reduce strain on the knees, hips, and back while maintaining independence at home.
How does the lift function work?
The lift chair uses a smooth, motor-driven mechanism that gently raises the chair forward, helping you transition from sitting to standing safely. The movement is controlled with a simple handheld remote designed for easy, everyday use.
Is a 3-position lift chair good for sleeping?
A 3-position lift chair reclines to a comfortable resting position but does not lie completely flat. Many customers find it comfortable for naps or overnight rest, but if you need flat sleeping or zero-gravity positioning, we may recommend an infinite-position lift chair instead.
How do I know what size lift chair I need?
Proper sizing is important for comfort and safety. Lift chairs come in multiple sizes (Petite, Small, Medium, Large, Tall, and Wide options). Seat height, seat width, depth, and your height all matter. Our team can help measure and recommend the correct size before purchase.
How much space do I need in my room?
Most lift chairs require clearance behind the chair to recline—typically 12–18 inches from the wall, depending on the model. We’re happy to help you confirm room layout and spacing before delivery.
Are lift chairs easy to use?
Yes. Most lift chairs use a simple hand control with clearly labeled buttons. We review operation during delivery or pickup so you feel confident using all functions safely.
What happens if the power goes out?
Most lift chairs include a battery backup that allows you to return the chair to a seated position during a power outage. This feature is intended for emergency use only.
Can I try a lift chair before buying?
Yes. You can visit our Burnsville showroom to sit in, test, and compare lift chairs when available. We’ll help confirm comfort, sizing, and ease of use.
Do you offer delivery and in-home setup?
Yes. We offer local Twin Cities delivery and optional in-home setup. Our team will place the chair, review basic operation, and answer questions before leaving.
Do you provide local service and support?
Yes. Our Minnesota-based team provides ongoing support for questions about operation, care, warranty, and service after purchase. If something doesn’t feel right, just give us a call.
