Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the difference between a two-position and a three-position lift chair?
With a two-position lift chair, when the chair is reclining and the footrest is going up, the angle between the backrest and the seat does not change. With a three-position lift chair, when the chair is reclining and the footrest is going up, the backrest reclines back farther, opening the angle between the backrest and the seat. The chair can recline more fully into a “sleeper” or “napper” position.
Some of your chairs have a “split chaise pad” while others are described as having a “full chaise pad.” What is the difference?
A “split chaise pad” means there is a gap between the front edge of the seat and the footrest. The gap is covered with a piece of fabric called an apron. A “full chaise pad” means there is one continuous piece of seat foam covered in fabric from the very back of the seat all the way through to the front end of the footrest, providing more support and comfort for the legs when the footrest is raised.
My hand control has buttons labeled TV and ZG. What does that mean?
Golden’s unique AutoDrive hand controls for our MaxiComfort Zero-Gravity lift chairs feature factory programmed buttons for the TV Watching position and the Zero-Gravity position. With the TV Watching position, the footrest raises up and the backrest reclines very slightly, so that your back, neck and head are properly aligned to watch TV comfortably. With the Zero-Gravity position, the chair moves your body into the Zero-Gravity position to help relieve stress throughout your entire body.
The Owner’s Manual says my chair goes into the Trendelenburg position. My doctor recommends this position for me to help improve the circulation in my legs. How do I get to the Trendelenburg position?
Only Golden’s patented MaxiComfort chairs move into the Trendelenburg position. It is very easy to get to. First, use the ZG button to move to the Zero-Gravity position. Once the chair has moved to that position, then use the backrest button to move the backrest down towards the floor. When the backrest stops moving, the chair is in the Trendelenburg position.
2-Position (TV Recline)
The 2-position TV recline is achievable on all Pride® Lift Chairs. This is a comfortable position for performing many relaxing activities including reading, watching TV, working on your tablet or for conversation with family and friends
3-Position (Full Recline)
The 3-position full recline is available on most Pride® Lift Chair models and puts you in a position ideal for napping or relaxing
Infinite Position Lift Chair Reverse Rendelenburg Recliners
The infinite-position recline is perfect for taking a nap. Infinite-position Pride® Power Lift Recliners enable the backrest and footrest to move independently from one another so that a variety of positions can be reached. The LC580i and LC525i can achieve true-infinite (two, three, infinite, zero gravity, Trendelenburg) positions while the LC558 can only achieve infinite (two, three, infinite) and lay flat positions.
Trendelenburg Position
The Trendelenburg position, elevates one's feet higher than his or her head for increased comfort and relaxation.
Zero-Gravity Position
The zero-gravity position, which can be reached on infinite-position Pride® Lift Chair models, positions one's thighs and lower legs higher than his or her torso.
