Stand Up Safely and Stretch Out Fully, With an Extra Wide Seat

The Rebrilliant Extra Large Power Lift Chair Recliner is a big and tall electric lift recliner for seniors and anyone who finds it hard, or unsafe, to get up from a chair. Press a button on the remote and the whole chair tilts forward and up about 45 degrees, so standing takes much less leg strength and much less lifting from a caregiver.

When it is time to rest, two OKIN motors move the backrest and footrest separately, from an upright reading position all the way back to about 180 degrees for sleeping (about 80 inches long). Lumbar heat and 8-point massage, a storage armrest with a cup holder, side pockets, and USB and Type-C charging ports make it a comfortable place to spend the day, or the night.

Who This Lift Chair Is For

A lift chair is most helpful when standing from a regular chair has become genuinely difficult, not just a little stiff, but a real safety concern or a situation where someone has gotten stuck. This extra large chair is a strong fit for:

  • Larger and taller adults who need a roomy 27.5 inch wide seat and a 500 lb weight capacity (the manufacturer lists an ideal height of 5'1" to 6'2")
  • Seniors with arthritis, hip or knee pain, or recovering from hip or knee replacement
  • Individuals with Parkinson's disease, MS, or ALS
  • People who sleep in a recliner and need to change positions often through the night
  • Caregivers looking to reduce lifting and assist burden during daily sit-to-stand transfers

OT perspective: Use the lift feature only when you need it. Using your own muscles to stand when you can helps keep your strength. The lift is there as a safety net, not a replacement for movement.

Key Features

  • Electric lift-assist via handheld remote, tilting forward about 45 degrees to help you stand
  • Two OKIN motors, infinite positions: backrest and footrest adjust independently, with a one-touch reset button
  • Reclines to about 180 degrees, about 80 inches long when fully reclined
  • 8.5 inch extendable footrest for full leg support for taller users (slid out and back with your feet, not by the motor)
  • Massage and lumbar heat: 8 massage points, 5 massage modes, and a timer
  • 500 lb weight capacity on a steel lift frame
  • Extra wide seat: 27.5 inches wide and 24 inches deep, with high density foam cushions
  • Storage armrest with cup holder, plus side pockets for the remote, glasses, or a phone
  • USB and Type-C charging ports
  • Soft brown velvet upholstery
  • Plugs into a standard wall outlet

Why This Lift Chair Works

Many lift chairs move the back and footrest together. With two motors, you can raise your legs without tipping the back, or sit up straight with your feet up, so it is easier to find a position that actually works for your body. That matters for people who spend long hours in their chair or sleep in it.

Plan your space before ordering: the chair is 45 inches wide and 42.5 inches deep, and it needs about 80 inches (6 feet 8 inches) of floor length when fully reclined. It arrives in 3 boxes and needs partial assembly. Because the seat is so wide, the armrests sit farther apart than on a standard chair, which makes pushing up with both arms a wider reach; the forward lift helps make up for that.

More than one in four older adults falls each year, according to the CDC, and standing up from a deep, soft chair is one of the hardest daily moves. Read our guide on why seniors get up without help and how to prevent falls. Need a slightly smaller chair? Compare our Large Power Lift Chair Recliner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a power lift chair and how does it work?

A power lift chair looks like a standard recliner but has an electric motor that tilts the entire chair forward and upward, bringing you to a near-standing position at the press of a button on the handheld remote. This makes it much easier and safer to stand without straining your legs, hips, or knees, and without needing someone to help pull you up.

Q: Is this lift chair good for someone recovering from hip or knee replacement surgery?

Yes. Lift chairs are often recommended after hip or knee replacement because the lift-assist removes the deep hip bending and leg effort needed to rise from a low seat. Always check with your surgeon about reclining limits, since some post-op plans restrict how far back you should recline in the early weeks.

Q: What is the best lift chair recliner for a tall or large person?

Look for a wide seat, a high weight capacity, and a long recline. This chair has a 27.5 inch wide seat, a 500 lb weight capacity, and reclines to about 80 inches long, and the manufacturer lists an ideal user height of 5'1" to 6'2". It is a large chair, 45 inches wide, so measure your room first. For a slightly smaller frame, compare the Large Power Lift Chair Recliner.

Q: Can you sleep in a lift chair recliner?

Yes. This chair reclines to about 180 degrees, and its two motors let you set the backrest and footrest separately, which helps people who sleep better partly upright because of back pain, breathing problems, or reflux. If you are sleeping in a recliner every night, mention it to your doctor or OT so they can check for pressure areas and leg swelling.

Q: Do I really need a lift chair, or will a regular recliner work?

A lift chair is most appropriate when getting up from a regular chair has become genuinely unsafe or very difficult, for example if you've been stuck, needed furniture or a person to pull yourself up, or if pain or weakness makes standing a fall risk. If rising is only a little stiff, a raised seat cushion or a firm chair with armrests may be enough. The lift feature is most valuable as a safety net, not a substitute for movement, so use it only as much as needed. The CDC reports that more than one in four older adults falls each year, so making sit-to-stand safer is worth planning for.

Q: Does this chair have heat and massage, and are they useful for seniors?

Yes. It has lumbar heat plus 8 massage points with 5 modes and a timer, all controlled from the remote. Heat can help relax tight muscles and ease joint stiffness, which many people with arthritis or back pain find soothing, and gentle vibration can make long periods of sitting more comfortable.

Q: How much space do I need for a lift chair recliner?

Plan for the chair's full footprint plus room to recline and lift. This one is 45 inches wide and 42.5 inches deep, stretches to about 80 inches long when fully reclined, and rises to about 58.5 inches tall in the lift position, so leave clear space in front for standing up. It arrives in 3 boxes, which makes it easier to carry through doorways and halls.

Q: How do I clean a velvet lift chair?

Spot clean the velvet with a dry, solvent-based upholstery cleaner, which is what the manufacturer's care code calls for, and avoid soaking it with water or soap, which can leave rings. If spills or incontinence are a concern, add a washable, waterproof chair cover.

Why we know this works!

We love this lift chair because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs), we see how much a roomy seat and a full range of positions matter, especially for bigger and taller adults. The 27.5 inch wide seat and 500 pound capacity give larger bodies real room, and the two motors let you raise your legs without tipping the back, so you can find a position that actually works for your body. It also reclines to about 180 degrees, which helps people who end up sleeping in their recliner. One honest note: the 8.5 inch footrest extension slides out with your feet rather than the motor, which some older adults find hard, so plan on a little help with it if needed. Some therapists don't like to recommend lift chairs because it often happens that people start using the lift feature and don't use their muscles to get out of the chair. And eventually they can no longer get up from regular chairs. We like to think about it a little differently. It's great to have the option if you need it, but that doesn't mean you have to use it. So get a lift chair only if getting out of the chair is already really hard, or there's been a time where someone's gotten stuck. And lift it only as much as needed to help get out of the seat.

Not sure what you need?

An occupational therapist can assess your situation and recommend exactly what will help. Tell us what you're dealing with and we'll connect you with the right OT.
