Find Your Perfect Fit – Power Lift Recliner Sizing Guide
A properly sized lift chair can make all the difference in comfort, safety, and ease of use—especially for older adults or anyone with limited mobility. Use our guide below to help narrow down your ideal chair fit based on your body dimensions.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This table is provided as a general guideline to help narrow down sizing options. UltraComfort offers many models across each size category, and dimensions can vary between chairs. The construction of each chair – including the springs, cushioning – as well as user weight capacity and how the chair sits under your body weight, can slightly altar how measurements “feel” once seated. Because every body is unique, no chart can replace the experience of sitting in the chair yourself. UltraComfort strongly recommends visiting one of our Authorized Retailers in person to try your preferred model with the help of a trained sales representative for the best fit.
Please note: this sizing guideline is intended to assist with selection but does not serve as a guarantee of fit or basis for return or exchange.
