- Limited mobility
- Back pain
- Petite
An infinite-position lift chair sold in four frame sizes, including a Junior Petite with an 18-inch seat-to-floor height. The size range is the reason to choose it. Read the capacity chart, because Medium is rated higher than Large.
Pros
- Four frame sizes mean a petite user can sit back into the seat instead of perching on the front edge
- Zero-gravity preset raises the knees above the heart without hunting for the angle by hand
- Programmable remote stores one favorite position, which matters when the hands are arthritic
Cons
- Capacity does not rise with frame size — Medium is rated 400 lb but Large is rated 375 lb, the opposite of what most buyers assume
- Around $1,748 at this trim, several times the price of a basic two-position lift chair
- At 125 to 132 lb even the smaller frames are not a chair one person moves alone

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which PR-505 size fits a petite person?
- The Junior Petite lists a 19-inch seat width and an 18-inch seat-to-floor height, and the Small lists 20 inches and 19 inches. Seat-to-floor is the figure that decides whether the feet rest flat, so measure from the back of the knee to the heel with shoes on and compare against that number rather than against overall height.
- Does the Large model hold more weight than the Medium?
- No, and this catches people out. Published capacities are 400 lb for Medium and 375 lb for Large. Frame size and capacity are set separately on this line, so a taller user who also needs the highest capacity should confirm both figures with the seller before ordering.
- Is this a medical device?
- No. A lift chair is seating furniture, not a patient lift or medical device. If a person cannot bear weight or needs help transferring, ask a physical or occupational therapist what is appropriate before buying.
