Power Lift Recliners & Medical Recliners for Seniors

Standing up out of a chair shouldn’t be the hardest part of your day.

Lift chairs for seniors make standing up more manageable: the base rises and tilts gently forward until you’re nearly on your feet, so you’re not pushing off the armrests or waiting for help. Afterward, it reclines until you’re seated comfortably.

At Conval-Aid in Ottawa, you can buy a lift chair or get a rental while you recover from an operation or injury.

Buy or Rent Lift Chairs in Ottawa

Not every need lasts forever, so it’s worth deciding first whether to buy or rent your lift chair.

Buying makes sense when the chair will be part of your daily life for the foreseeable future. You own it, you get the manufacturer’s warranty, and you can choose from the full range of lines, sizes, fabrics, and features.

Renting suits a shorter window: recovery after a hip or knee replacement, a stretch of rehab, respite care, or trying a lift chair for a few weeks before committing to buying one outright.

No matter what you decide, you can test the right lift chair in person by visiting our showroom at 2600 Lancaster Road. We service everything we sell, so the team that helps you pick your chair is the same team helping you when it needs service or repair.

Brands & Models Conval-Aid Carries

Pride and Golden cover most of what people want, while the Accora Configura Solus is for those whose seating needs go beyond comfort.

Pride VivaLift! Power Lift Recliners

VivaLift! is Pride’s upper line, and it’s where the comfort features live. 

The VivaLift! range runs from the Perfecta 2 and Metro 2 through the Elegance 2, Tranquil 2, and Radiance, up to the Ultra and Premier. The Ultra adds Weightless Tilt positioning, which shifts the whole seat as it reclines rather than just dropping the back. 

Heated seat pads and wireless phone charging appear on several models. These are the chairs for someone who’ll spend real hours in it, not just use it to get up.

Pride VivaLift! Power Lift Recliners

Pride Power Lift Recliners

The Pride power lift recliner line is a broader and more practical series of power lift chairs, covering a wide spread of budgets and sizes.

The Genesis LC-150 is the straightforward starting point, with the Muskoka LC-475 and Evolution LC-435 in the middle. Sizes run from Petite and Small through Extra Extra Large, and footrest extensions are available for taller users.

Golden Technologies Lift Chairs

Golden builds its chairs around Comfort Zones: Zone 1 is the lower body, Zone 2 the upper body, Zone 3 the headrest, Zone 4 the lumbar, and Zone 5 is Twilight Tilt, which raises your feet above your heart. 

Each zone adjusts independently from the AutoDrive hand control, so a Zone 2 chair sets your legs and back separately, while a Zone 5 chair adds a powered headrest, adjustable lumbar, and the tilt position on top.

The lineup includes the Cloud Supreme, Cloud+, Cloud Luxury, EZ Sleeper, Rhea, Titan, Venice, Relaxer, MaxiComforter, and Elara, many available with Twilight positioning.

Golden Technologies Lift Chairs

Accora Configura Solus

The Configura Solus is specialist seating, and it’s the chair we’d point you toward when comfort isn’t the whole problem. Seat width, depth, and height all adjust from 16 to 22 inches without tools, so the chair is set to the user.

The back reclines from 95 to 125 degrees; there’s roughly 28 degrees of true tilt-in-space, and the footrest elevates independently. Pressure care is built in: vapour-permeable fabric on the contact areas and a high-risk visco cushion.

It carries up to 158 kg (348 lb) and moves room to room on transport castors. If you’re working with an occupational therapist for tilt, positioning, or pressure management, this is the one worth booking an appointment to see.

Choosing the Right Lift Chair

Falls cause 89% of injury-related hospitalizations among Canadians 65 and older, so choosing a chair that helps someone rise steadily is worth it.

Here’s what to consider before buying or renting.

Two-position chairs lift you and recline to roughly a TV-watching angle, with the back and footrest moving together on one motor. They’re simple, cost less, and are a good choice if the chair is mainly a seat you need help out of.

Three-position chairs work the same way but recline close to flat, which makes them workable for a nap without having to move to a bed.

Infinite-position chairs use separate motors for the back and legs, so the two move independently. That’s what lets you lie fully recline, raise your feet above your heart, or hold a zero-gravity position. If someone will sleep in the chair regularly, this is the best option to consider.

Seat depth should let the knees bend at the front edge, because a seat that’s too deep leaves your feet dangling and removes the leverage the lift is meant to give. 

Width needs room without someone floating, and height should bring the feet flat to the floor. Brands like Pride and Golden both offer petite through extra-wide and tall sizing.

Every chair has a rated capacity, and matching it to the user’s bodyweight is essential.

Pride’s power lift recliners typically range from 325 lb to 600 lb by model, with the Heritage LC358 as the heavy-duty option, and Golden’s MaxiComforter handles 400 to 600 lb.

If the user is near the top of a rating, we recommend sizing up.

Heat and massage are what people ask about most, but they’re model-specific rather than standard.

Beyond those, consider lumbar support, a power headrest, USB and wireless charging, footrest extensions, and battery backup, so the chair still works during a power outage.

Not sure which is right? That’s perfectly normal.

We welcome you to visit our showroom and try a few lift chairs; even if the difference between two chairs on paper is small, the best choice for you can be obvious within seconds of sitting in them.

For dedicated support during your showroom visit, book an appointment and a Conval-Aid Product Specialist will help guide you through the best options for your situation and budget.

Why Ottawa Families Choose Conval-Aid

Conval-Aid TeamYour lift chair is home care equipment that you’ll use several times a day for years, and it’s hard to judge how well it will fit your body and preferences until you try it out in person.

Our showroom lets you test out different brands and sizes, compare two-position against infinite-position, and ask important questions before you spend a dollar. Our specialists aren’t on commission, so the conversation is authentic without any financial incentive.

We also carry specialist seating most retailers don’t stock, so we can help when a standard lift chair isn’t the answer. If it isn’t, we’ll say so: we supply patient lifts and transfer aids too, and we handle home modifications when the room itself needs to change.

Lastly, we service everything we sell so that you can book a service or repair with our experienced service technicians long after the sale. We’ve been family-owned since 1976 and still care deeply about serving our customers with kindness and dignity.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the line, size, position type, and features. A basic two-position chair sits at the low end; an infinite-position model with heat, massage, and specialty upholstery lands considerably higher. Call us at 613-738-2721 for a free, no-obligation quote on the chair you’re considering.

Yes, we rent lift chairs in Ottawa. Renting is worth asking about if your need is short-term: recovery after surgery, a stretch of rehab, or trying a chair before you buy. Call us, and we’ll tell you what’s available and what it costs.

In a three-position chair, the back and footrest are linked on one motor, reclining to roughly flat. An infinite-position chair uses separate motors, so the back and legs move independently. That’s what allows a true lay-flat position, leg elevation above the heart, and zero-gravity positioning.

Yes, and it should be matched to the user rather than estimated. Pride’s power lift recliners typically run from 325 lb to 600 lb by model, and heavy-duty and extra-wide options are available across the lines we carry.

No, you can buy a lift chair without a prescription or referral. A private insurance or employer plan may ask for a doctor’s note before reimbursing part of the cost. If the seating needs are more involved, an occupational therapist’s recommendation helps us get the fit right.

Most do. The usual arrangement is a pair of 9V batteries in the transformer, holding enough charge for roughly one cycle to bring the chair upright so the user isn’t stranded while reclined. Rechargeable lithium backup is available on some models.
