Wishing Well Medical carries power lift chairs and recliners at our West Los Angeles showroom, where you can sit in the chair, run the controls, and find the right fit before you buy. A lift chair is one of the few pieces of home medical equipment people use every single day, and the difference between a chair that fits and one that doesn’t is something you can only feel in person.
We sell and rent lift chairs, deliver and set them up throughout Los Angeles County, and service what we sell. Family-owned and outfitting the Westside since 1976.
Come try one at our showroom on Santa Monica Blvd. Call (310) 829-1777 to check what’s currently on the floor.
A lift chair is a powered recliner that tilts forward and rises to help the user stand up safely. Instead of pushing off the armrests — the moment where most falls happen — the chair does the work, bringing the person to a near-standing position under their own control.
The rest of the time it functions as an ordinary recliner. That matters more than it sounds. A lift chair sits in the living room, not the bedroom, and it doesn’t announce itself as medical equipment. For someone who has resisted every other piece of home equipment because it makes the house feel like a hospital, this is usually the easy one.
Position count is the main decision when choosing a lift chair. It describes how far the chair reclines, and it’s what separates one model from the next more than either the fabric or the frame.
Two-position chairs lift to standing and recline to roughly 45 degrees — comfortable for reading, television, and conversation. They take up the least floor space and suit users who want assistance standing but don’t nap in the chair.
Three-position chairs add a near-flat recline, deep enough to sleep in. This is the most common choice for users recovering from surgery, anyone who dozes in their chair through the afternoon, or people who find getting in and out of bed difficult and end up sleeping in the living room for a stretch.
Infinite-position chairs operate the back and footrest on separate motors, so any combination is possible — including full flat and zero-gravity, where the legs sit above the heart. Many models also offer Trendelenburg positioning. These are the chairs to look at for edema, circulation issues, breathing comfort, or long stretches of sitting.
Lift chair sizing is driven by the user’s body, not by preference. Seat width, seat depth, back height, and weight capacity all have to match the person, and a chair that’s an inch too deep will push someone forward all day or leave their feet dangling.
This is the part that most often goes wrong with online orders. The specifications look fine on a screen, the chair arrives, and it turns out the user’s back doesn’t reach the lumbar support or their knees hang past the seat edge. Sitting in the chair takes five minutes and settles it.
Bring the user to the showroom if you can. If that isn’t possible — and with the customers we serve, it often isn’t — call us with their height and weight, and we’ll narrow it down before you make the trip.
Rent a lift chair when the need is temporary. Recovery from hip or knee replacement, a course of treatment, a family member visiting for a few months — these are rental situations, and there’s no reason to buy a chair that gets used for six weeks.
Buy when the need is ongoing. If the chair is going to be used daily for the foreseeable future, purchasing costs less over time and you get to choose the exact size, fabric, and position type rather than taking what’s available in the rental fleet.
Call (310) 829-1777 and tell us the situation — we’ll tell you honestly which way makes more sense.
We deliver throughout Los Angeles County for a fee. Delivery includes bringing the chair inside, assembling it, positioning it where it will live, and confirming the controls work before we leave. Nobody should be wrestling a lift chair out of a box.
We also repair the medical equipment that we sell. Our technicians work on lift chair motors, hand controls, and lift mechanisms in-house — which is worth knowing before buying from a seller who disappears after the transaction.
Lift chairs are powered recliners that tilt forward and rise to help the user stand up safely. Wishing Well Medical carries lift chairs in multiple positions and sizes at our West Los Angeles showroom. Every chair also reclines like a standard armchair for everyday sitting.
Lift chair prices at Wishing Well Medical vary by size, position type, fabric, and features. Call (310) 829-1777 or visit our West Los Angeles showroom to check current pricing. Our staff can walk you through the options and fit you to the right chair in person.
Medicare Part B covers only the seat-lift mechanism of a lift chair, not the chair itself, and requires a doctor’s prescription through a Medicare-enrolled supplier. Wishing Well Medical does not bill Medicare or private insurance. We sell lift chairs directly at our West Los Angeles showroom on a cash or card basis.
Wishing Well Medical rents lift chairs from our West Los Angeles showroom in addition to selling them. Renting works well for short-term recovery after surgery or injury, while buying makes more sense for long-term daily use. Call (310) 829-1777 to check rental availability and current rates.
Lift chair size is determined by the user’s height and weight, not by preference. Wishing Well Medical fits customers in person so that seat depth, back height, and weight capacity match the user. Sitting in the chair before buying is the most reliable way to get the fit right.
Wishing Well Medical delivers and sets up lift chairs throughout Los Angeles County for a distance-based fee. Our team brings the chair in, assembles it, and confirms it operates correctly before leaving. Call (310) 829-1777 for delivery pricing and scheduling.
