UltraComfort UC480 Aurora Large 1 Zone 3-Position Lift Chair (400lbs)

A lift chair is a motorized recliner designed to help people sit down and stand up with ease. With the push of a button, the chair gently lifts forward to assist you in standing, or reclines to provide full-body relaxation. Ideal for seniors, the elderly or anyone with mobility challenges and/or balance issues to help reduce the risk of falls and ensuing complications.  Many of our customers sleep in their lift chairs and rely on them for their safety, daily activities and well-being.

There have been many advancements in lift chairs since the original lift recliner and 3-position lift chairs.  Some of the features to enhance your comfort and overall experience are:  zero gravity, heat therapy, massage therapy, power pillow, power lumbar, full body tilt, cup holders and even wireless charging.  All of our lift chairs now come with an emergency battery backup to ensure safe exit in the event of a power outage.

Unlike standard recliners, lift chairs are equipped with a powered lift mechanism to assist users into a sitting or standing position safely. Many models also include therapeutic features like infinite positioning which allow you to independently control the backrest and legrest, heat, massage, power pillow and power lumbar, to name a few common features.

Lift chairs are a safe and comfortable option for individuals recovering from surgery, seniors with mobility limitations, people with balance issues, people with arthritis or anyone who may need the extra safety and comfort when sitting or standing up. Some of our customers do sleep in their lift chair more comfortably than in their beds.  If you or your loved one are ever worried about falling while trying to sit down or stand up, a lift chair is a fantastic option.

Infinite position lift chairs allow you to independently control the backrest and the footrest, allowing you to get into the zero gravity position, removing all pressure from the spine and the Trendelenburg position, which lifts the legs slightly higher than zero gravity, assisting with circulation issues, swelling and edema.  Infinite position lift chairs have at minimum 2 motors to control the backrest and footrest. You can easily find the perfect position for whatever activity you are engaging in–watching TV, reading a book, sleeping or elevating the legs even higher to help recover from a long day.

Yes! Lift chairs are available in small, medium, large and extra-wide sizes, with weight capacities typically ranging from 375 to 600 lbs. We also offer petite - big & tall models to ensure a perfect fit for your height and body type. Those with longer legs may need a footrest extension or to ensure you’ve selected one of our taller models. Please feel free to call us at 803-574-9474 if you need help selecting the right lift chair.

Our lift chairs come in a variety of fabric options that include cloth (soft velour feel), Safeguard, MegaGuard, vegan leather, leather, premium leather and UltraPlush Brisa. Different fabric families are available from each manufacturer.  Most of our chairs are soft to the touch, easy to clean and will feel good on the skin for prolonged periods.

We offer free curbside delivery and white glove delivery for a small extra fee.  Most of our lift chairs ship LTL freight throughout the continental US. 

• - Free Curbside Delivery:  your lift chair is delivered on a pallet and typically arrives fully assembled. If there is any setup, it will be simply attaching the backrest to the main body of the chair and plugging it in. The hardest and longest part will be breaking down all of the boxes for disposal / recycling. Our delivery team will call you to schedule your delivery.
• Pro Tip:  we highly encourage you to treat your delivery team well (offer them snacks/beverages; be kind). Even a small tip if you are happy with the service you’ve received. (They may bring your chair into your home, though they are not required to with a curbside delivery.)
• - If your box appears to be damaged in any way and you are concerned about the integrity of your chair, please:
• - Take pictures of the box
• - Refuse Delivery
• - Call us immediately at 803-574-9474 and explain what’s going on so that we can assist you
• White Glove Delivery:  highly recommended if you don’t want to bother with setting up your chair or removing the boxes.  Also, super handy if you don’t have anyone to assist you or need to set the chair up or downstairs.  These are typically pretty heavy and a little awkward.  If time is an issue - white glove does require an extra week or two, depending on your area and the delivery team’s availability.

Pro Tip: We strongly suggest that you request a 2-4 hr delivery window and a “courtesy call” or text when the freight company calls you to schedule your delivery.  They will not schedule your delivery with us; you will need to schedule your delivery directly with the freight company.  

We will process your order with our manufacturing partners within 1 business day of you placing your order–we typically try to immediately place orders during working hours. Our partners will then process and ship within 2-3 business days unless you require a custom build.  

For UltraComfort, custom builds can take a lead time of 6-8 weeks, depending on the factory’s production level.  Any customizations such as adding heat, massage or a footrest extension as well as a custom color option will require a custom build.  

A good rule of thumb for a standard curbside delivery of a lift chair that has been ordered without any customizations is 7-10 business days from your order date. Depending on where you live, we have seen deliveries happen much quicker.  

With White Glove Delivery, our team will bring your lift chair into your home, place it exactly where you’d like it, assemble it (if not already assembled) and plug it in to ensure it works properly.  Then, they will remove all debris, making it an easy, hassle-free process.

Notes: 

• - White Glove delivery does take a bit longer. Your chair will be ship LTL for the long haul of its journey and then change hands to the final mile white glove agent.  
• - When you receive your tracking, it may show your chair as being delivered.  Don’t be worried!  This just means that your chair has been delivered to the final mile / white glove agent.  
• - Once the white glove team has your chair, they will call you to schedule your delivery.
• Pro Tip: you can call them once the chair is delivered to expedite / get ahead of the delivery process. They will not deliver your chair without a scheduled appointment.  
• - White glove fees are non-refundable. If for some reason you decide not to keep your chair, you will be responsible for boxing your chair back up and/or paying for a white glove pick up which can be pretty expensive.  If you’re not sure about the chair, we recommend keeping the boxing material to make it an easier and less expensive process.

We recommend white glove delivery if you are bringing your chair up or down stairs or if you have physical impairments that would make getting your chair into its desired location a challenge. These are often heavy, awkward chairs that do sometimes require light assembly.  If you cannot find help or manage moving the chair into your home by yourself and the desired room of choice, we do recommend white glove delivery.  

Occasions where White Glove Delivery would be necessary:

• - Placing the chair up or down stairs
• - Physical impairment makes moving the chair into your home and/or light assembly impossible
• - You prefer having it all done for you hassle-free and don’t mind the extra fee or delivery time.

Most lift chairs are modular and designed to fit through standard doorways. However, it’s best to measure your entryways in advance. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to help verify fit and suggest the best model for your space.

Our delivery team will not remove your old recliner.  We suggest trying to sell the old one on fb marketplace, nextdoor or other marketplaces such as OfferUp and Craigslist; give it to a friend in need or donate it to Goodwill.
