Seat Lift Chairs

There are lift chairs and there are what I consider seat lift chairs. Standard lift chairs are like the chairs seen above, but seat lift chairs are different in that the backrest does not recline. The seat is the only moving piece. It will, however, lift you to a standing position just like a standard lift chair would.

The advantage to a seat lift chair is that it does not require as much space as a standard lift chair. Since the back does not recline, seat lift chairs can be placed closer to the wall. Seat lift chairs are great for smaller rooms at home, doctor's offices, and hospital rooms. They are designed for sitting only. These chairs typically cost around $400-$450.
