Description
The Pride VivaLift Radiance PLR-3955 is an infinite-position lift chair with three heat pads, in Small, Medium and Large/Tall, all rated 400 lbs (181.5 kg).
What does it do and how does it work?
The back and footrest move independently, the back reclines to horizontal, and the lift brings you to standing.
- Three heat pads are standard: shoulders, lumbar and seat, with a heat button on the remote.
- Power headrest, power lumbar and footrest extension.
- Toggle remote with two memory buttons and a USB port.
- Retractable cup holder and wireless phone charging pad in the arm.
- A lithium-ion pack returns the chair to seated during an outage.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
It suits a sitter who wants infinite positioning and built-in heat in a small, medium or large/tall size.
- Choose the Tranquil 2 if you need Petite Wide or do not want heat.
- Choose a 3 position chair if the back and footrest need only move together.
