What Is a Power Lift Chair?

A power lift chair recliner is specifically designed for individuals with mobility issues and injuries. Often mistaken with a stair chair, the bottom of the chair lifts up to help you into the chair, and the back of the chair tilts forward to help you get out of the chair.

La-Z-Boy power lift chair recliners can be life-enhancing, and you can find a number of options on the La-Z-Boy product page.

Power Lift Chair Series

When looking for a power recliner lift chair, it is important to remember that each chair has its own unique features. Whether you’re looking for a leather power lift chair or a simple blue power lift chair, La-Z-Boy South Texas wants to ensure you find the best power lift recliner for you.

The La-Z-Boy South Texas Power Lift Chair Series is made up of four categories: the Bronze Series, Silver Series, Gold Series, and Platinum Series. To get a clear idea of the features of each category, let’s walk through each one now.

Bronze Series

The Bronze Series has the smallest seat scale of all La-Z-Boy South Texas lift chair series. It also has the lightest lift capacity at 300 pounds.

Bronze Series lift chairs can also fully recline and even includes added leg rest safety. The recline and lift mechanism is covered under a three year warranty.

Bronze Series Lift Recliner Example

To give you a clear picture of a Bronze Series lift chair, let’s take a look at one in particular.

Jean Bronze Power Lift Recliner

The Jean Bronze Power Lift Recliner features a sleek transitional design, making it a great recliner for small spaces. The Jean features a smooth lift assist function for effortless mobility.

Sink into the ultra-plush back with its elegantly rounded look, while the clean-lined chaise seat and adjustable leg rest create a continuous zone of comfort. With independent motion for full-body support, customizable options, and safety features like autostop and battery backup, it's a perfect fusion of luxury and peace of mind.

To check out the Jean in person, feel free to set up an appointment with an in-store designer.

Silver Series

The Silver Series lift chair recliners include all the same features as the Bronze Series, from the extended leg rest position to the added leg rest safety.

What separates the Silver Series from the Bronze Series is that the Silver Series operates like a wall hugger recliner and can be placed 5 inches from your wall. While the seat size is bigger than the Bronze Series, a Silver power lift recliner is a great fit for tighter spaces.

Silver Series Lift Recliner Example

Let’s take a look at an example of a Silver Series Lift Recliner at La-Z-Boy South Texas.

James Silver Power Lift Recliner

Comfortable, cool and laid back, James makes relaxing look as great as it feels. With an easy to use hand-held remote, you’ll have the power to sit, stand or fully recline at the touch of a button.

With its convenient space-saving design, you can fully recline with the chair placed just five inches from a wall. The James is generously scaled with an inviting bucket style seat and chaise legrest that cradles you in support, while a stitched pillow back and pillow top arms pamper you in softness.

Gold Series

If you are looking to take your comfort experience to the next level, the Gold Series is a step in the right direction.

In addition to the Bronze and Silver Series features, the Gold Series begins to separate itself with the heat and massage upgrade. To personalize your chair even further, your power lift recliner with heat and massage can recline the leg rest and back independently using the remote control.

While the Gold Series chairs can’t be placed within 5 inches of a wall, it has the most weight capacity of any power lift series at 500 pounds. Additionally, the seat scale is larger than both the Silver and Bronze series.

Gold Series Lift Recliner Example

Clayton Gold Power Lift Recliner W/ Heat & Massage

Platinum Series

The Platinum Series is the pinnacle of comfort when it comes to power lift recliners at La-Z-Boy South Texas.

In addition to the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Series features, the Platinum Series can be taken to a new level with an adjustable headrest and lumbar upgrade, as well as a zero gravity position.

The Platinum Series recliners only hold 350 pounds compared to the 500 pound capacity of the Gold Series. However, the Platinum Series recliners can be placed two and a half inches closer to the wall and maintain the full seat scale.

Ready to Find the Right Power Lift Chair For You?

Power lift recliners are designed to help with individuals experiencing mobility issues and chronic pain. While these recliner chairs can be life changing, they are not for everyone.

If you or a loved one do have mobility issues, a power lift chair might be the right choice for you. However, if you do not have mobility issues or experience chronic pain, a lift chair is not necessary for you.

The decision is ultimately yours. If you are interested in a power lift recliner, the only way you will know which one is best for you is to come sit in one for yourself.
