Independence: The Lifting Recliner Chairs Toowoomba Secretly Loves
There comes a time in life when even the go-getters among us start to move more like an old Windows computer... sluggish, squeaky, and in desperate need of a reboot. Luckily, humans have been dealing with this for centuries, and brilliant furniture designers have already solved the “getting up gracefully” problem for us. We get to stand on the proverbial shoulders of giants!
So here it is: the no-sales-pitch guide to Lift chairs. What to look for, what makes them different, and how to make sure the chair you pick doesn’t swallow you whole like an over-enthusiastic Lazy Boy recliner.
Starting Simple: The Single Motor Lift Chair
Think of the single motor lift chair as the reliable hatchback of the reclining world. It uses one hardworking motor to recline, raise and lower the footrest, and do the all-important lift action.
With just two buttons ,up and down, it’s as easy to operate as a toaster. But because that single motor is doing the heavy lifting (literally), most of these chairs top out at around 120kg.
Top picks? The La-Z-Boy Harbor Town Bronze Lift, IMG Brando LF295, or the Aussie-made Garstone Temora—though that last one won’t be found in most furniture stores Toowoomba has on offer.
Stepping It Up: The Dual Motor Lift Chair
Now we’re getting fancy. Dual motor lift chairs have one motor for lifting and another that controls the footrest and back angle. Translation: you get almost infinite adjustability. You can fine-tune your comfort level so precisely that your cat will ask to borrow it.
Weight capacities often rise to around 150kg too. Great options here include the La-Z-Boy Eden Platinum and the IMG MFS range.
Going Full Luxury: Multifunction Lift Chairs
If recliners had a “First Class” cabin, this would be it.
Multifunction chairs—like the La-Z-Boy Pinnacle Platinum Plus—don’t just lift and recline. Oh no. They offer adjustable headrests, lumbar support, and a Zero Gravity recline so relaxing you might forget your own name. Some even throw in heating and massage functions because why not?
No Lift? No Worries. The Magic of Easy-Rise Chairs
Maybe motors aren’t your thing. Maybe you prefer your recliner as quiet as a ninja. Good news—there’s the IMG Jade.
It’s a clever, non-motorised armchair designed to make standing up easier without looking like “grandma’s special chair.” Elevated armrests, a seat angled just right, and an ottoman with a rotating footrest for perfect ankle comfort. It blends right into your living room while secretly being a mobility superhero.
