Pride T3 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: 

• Rise function – Lifts you gently to a near-standing position, reducing strain on your knees and hips. 
• Recline function – Lets you lean back for comfort, often with adjustable backrest angles. 
• 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. 

Single motor – The backrest and leg rest move together in one smooth action.

Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods to prevent fading. 

Have it serviced if you notice unusual noises or if the motor feels strained.
