Pride Theorem Studio Mercer Power (Petite) Lift Chair

Choosing the right size is important for comfort and safety. The key things to check are: 

• Seat height – Your feet should rest flat on the floor with your knees at a right angle. 
• Seat depth – You should be able to sit back comfortably with a small gap (2–3 fingers) behind your knees. 
• Seat width – The chair should support you without feeling tight or leaving too much space at the sides. 

Our team can help measure and guide you to the correct fit. 

Lift-out rise and recline chairs can come with various powered movements:

• Leg rest elevation – Raises your legs to improve comfort and circulation. 
• Dual motor chairs – Allow the backrest and leg rest to move independently for more customised positioning.
