When it comes to shopping for a power reclining lift chair, it’s incredibly important for consumers to do their due diligence. Perhaps more so than with any other furniture purchase. Unlike other pieces that might be chosen purely for their aesthetics, lift chairs are primarily functional pieces of furniture. For the vast majority of shoppers looking for lift chairs or recliners with a walk-out feature, what they’re really looking for are the health, wellness and mobility solutions that these chairs can provide.
Despite looking like a regular recliner, lift chairs have a wealth of health and wellness benefits hiding just under the surface. This ranges from therapeutic benefits for knees, hips and back, to circulatory system benefits, to improved management of pain and inflammation. As such, these are perhaps the most ergonomic and feature-rich recliners on the market. However, we’ve noticed that it’s often difficult for consumers to even know where to start on their lift chair shopping journey!
If that’s you and you’re feeling overwhelmed with this important purchase, today’s post will help point you in the right direction. Based on our own internal sales data, we’re counting down our top 5 best selling lift chair brands from last year. By the end of this short article, you’ll have a much better idea of what lift chairs have been the most popular with our customers over the past year, and which direction you should go next. Let’s get started!
#5 | Parker Living
Starting us off on our 2024 list, we’ve got Parker Living, a respected manufacturer of power reclining furniture. As the reclining furniture specialist under parent company Parker House, Parker Living has earned a reputation for producing high quality power recliners in a variety of fabrics, leathers and polyurethane leather alternatives. From this relevant experience, it was just a small leap to manufacturing power reclining lift chairs.
In particular, the Gemini series of lift chairs by Parker Living are quite popular with our customers. This affordably priced option has all the features you need and comes in 3 different beautiful, easy-to-clean polyurethane leathers – Azure, Ivory, and Truffle. As an added bonus, Parker House is also the developer of FreeMotion, a brand of cordless battery packs, so every single Parker Living lift recliner ships with a battery-ready design.
#4 | Signature Design by Ashley
#4 on our list of 2024’s best selling lift chair brands, likely needs no introduction. It’s only one of the best known and quite literally the largest furniture manufacturer on the planet – Ashley Furniture. Or rather, Signature Design by Ashley, a popular brand made by industry giant Ashley Furniture Industries. With Ashley making all sorts of furniture for over 70 years at this point, it’s no surprise that they’ve thrown their hat into the lift chair ring too.
As with other product categories, Signature Design by Ashley neatly fills an entry-level to mid-tier niche within our own collection of lift chairs. However, that doesn’t mean skimping on features. Depending on which Ashley Furniture lift chair model you choose, you can enjoy easy-to-clean performance fabric, heat, massage, power articulating headrest and lumbar, USB chargers and more, offering lift chair shoppers an exceptional value!
#3 | Catnapper
Time for #3 on our best selling lift chair list – Catnapper! As one of the first generation of reclining chair manufacturers alongside competitors like La-Z-Boy and Barcalounger, it’s true that Catnapper has been in the reclining furniture game almost as long as anyone else. So Catnapper making our best seller list just makes sense. Plus, Catnapper lift chairs and recliners are still made right here in America!
Catnapper’s family of lift chairs all include Catnapper’s proprietary Comfor-Gel infused memory foam seat inserts for a cooler, comfier seat, along with a suite of other comfort and convenience features. Depending on model, you can expect everything from lift and recline features, to USB charging ports, to a full “Health & Wellness Station” including Zero Gravity and Trendelenburg modes, power lumbar and headrest, and Sensate heat and massage.
#2 | UltraComfort America
Our best selling lift chair runner-up for 2024 should come as no surprise to folks who have done their research on lift chairs, or to those of us with insider knowledge – UltraComfort America!
Of the brands on today’s list (or really, any list of lift chair manufacturers), UltraComfort is the only company specifically founded to craft lift chairs. While it’s true that they’ve very recently expanded into making other furniture like power recliners, UltraComfort America is still a maker of top quality lift chairs, first and foremost. As an added bonus, they make it a point to make their lift chairs exclusively in the USA at their facility in Old Forge, Pennsylvania. For all these reasons, it’s hard to argue against the fact that UltraComfort’s premium lift chairs have some of the best fit-and-finish on the market.
UltraComfort also understands that one size rarely fits all. People come in different shapes, different sizes, and with different stylistic tastes. That’s why they offer a wide range of different weight capacities, seat box widths, and upholstery options – including their breathable, easy-to-clean, stain-resistant and wear-resistant premium Brisa fabric! While we stock many of the most popular UltraComfort lift chair models, when you buy an UltraComfort power reclining lift chair from Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet, you also have the ability to customize and special order a model with the exact features, fabric and specifications that fit you the best.
#1 | MotoMotion
We’re proud to announce MotoMotion as our best selling lift chair manufacturer of 2024!
This hidden gem of a brand began as a long-time, behind-the-scenes manufacturer of motors and other mechanical, electrical, and electronic components for the furniture industry. After making these components for other furniture manufacturers for a number of years, Moto decided to launch their own line of feature-rich, powered motion furniture. MotoMotion's product catalog includes everything from adjustable bases for your mattress, to power reclining sofas, loveseats and chairs, and yes, lift chairs. If you recall reading about Immersive Audio Multimedia in our showroom, this is exactly the type of technological wizardry that MotoMotion specializes in.
As a reminder of their past developing tech components for other brands, MotoMotion products are typically loaded with bonus features you wouldn’t expect for their competitive price point. MotoMotion lift chairs span the range from entry level to luxurious, all depending on which features are most important to you. As a result, MotoMotion simultaneously makes some of the most affordable and most feature-packed lift chairs in our showroom, with extras like power headrest, power lumbar, heat, and massage. Combined with their fresh modern styling and availability in multiple colors, it’s no surprise why Moto has been so popular with our shoppers in 2024!
