Frequently Asked Questions
-
The Elara PL118MSM is ideal for users who need everyday lift assistance in a compact, medium-small chair size. It’s especially well suited for seniors, individuals with joint discomfort, or users who want reliable standing assistance without a large or bulky recliner.
-
A 3-position lift chair offers three main positions: seated, TV/recline, and full recline. The Elara allows users to relax comfortably while still providing smooth lift assistance for standing and sitting—making it perfect for daily lounging, reading, or watching TV.
-
The motorized lift gently tilts the chair forward to help users stand with less strain on the knees, hips, and lower back. This reduces fall risk and makes transitions safer for users with limited strength, balance concerns, or arthritis.
-
Yes. The integrated USB port in the hand control allows users to keep phones, tablets, or medical devices charged while seated. This eliminates the need to reach for wall outlets and adds everyday convenience—especially for users who spend extended time in the chair.
-
No. The Elara is designed with a compact footprint and only requires 19 inches of wall clearance to fully recline. This makes it an excellent choice for apartments, condos, and smaller living spaces.
