Choosing a lift chair is about far more than comfort. The right chair helps people stay independent, reduces the physical load on family members and support workers, and makes daily routines safer.
One of the biggest differences between models is the type of motor inside the chair. The motor controls the movement of the backrest, footrest, and lift functions, and those movements shape how the chair feels and how easy it is to use.
At Active Mobility, we support people every day who are comparing lift chair motor types for the first time. This guide breaks down the four main options—single motor, dual motor, triple motor, quad motor, and five motor—and explains their benefits in clear, practical terms. We also highlight popular chairs in each category to help you see how these features work in real life 👉 https://bit.ly/4jqBAwO
