The therapeutic design of the Preston Medical Lift Chair was crafted to keep you feeling comfortable and supported. Intended especially to assist those with mobility or chronic pain issues, those temporarily recuperating from a medical procedure, or those most at risk of a fall, the Preston's chief benefit comes from its power lift function. The wired remote grants you the ability to raise the seat to where you need it to be: you can lift it up to your standing position and allow it to lower until you're seated, eliminating the need to support yourself in mid-air. Or, when seated, you can use it to propel yourself gently up to standing without straining yourself. The remote also allows the Preston to function as a traditional recliner - whether you're lounging with the latest bestseller or cheering on the big game, you can adjust to your optimal position in bliss. The contemporary silhouette blends comfort with modern style: pillow arms, a generously stuffed headrest, and a convenient side pocket are cozy and functional, while polished microfiber yields a soft, plush hand-feel with a leather look in a timeless neutral grey hue that will perfectly complement your existing living room décor.
