Discover the Ultimate in Relaxation and Support: The VivaLift!® Ultra Power Lift Recliner

Imagine sinking into a chair that not only helps you stand with ease but also cradles you in a weightless, zero-gravity position—melting away the day’s stress with gentle heat and a soothing massage. That’s the magic of the VivaLift!® Ultra from Pride Mobility, a thoughtfully designed power lift recliner built for those who value comfort, independence, and everyday luxury.

As an FDA Class II Medical Device, the VivaLift!® Ultra is engineered to assist individuals with mobility impairments while delivering an exceptional relaxation experience. Whether you’re unwinding after a long day or simply seeking the perfect spot to read, watch your favorite show, or rest, this chair adapts to you—offering true peace of mind and restorative comfort.

Innovative Tilt Technology for a Truly Weightless Feel

What sets the Ultra apart is its exclusive VivaLift!® Tilt technology. With a simple press of the remote, the chair gently pivots from the rear, elevating your knees above heart level to create a genuine zero-gravity sensation. Weight and pressure are distributed evenly across your body, helping you fully relax and recover.

Paired with True-Infinite Positioning, the backrest and footrest move independently, letting you find your ideal angle every time. Add the power headrest that lifts your head, neck, and shoulders, plus a power lumbar support and footrest extension, and you have endless ways to customize your comfort.

Soothing Heat and Advanced Massage at Your Fingertips

The Ultra doesn’t stop at positioning—it pampers you, too. Three strategically placed heat pads in the shoulders, lumbar region, and seat deliver gentle warmth with three adjustable levels. Complementing this is the innovative air-bladder massage system, which applies targeted pressure to your lower back. Choose from three intensity settings for the perfect level of relief.

All controls are conveniently located on the inside of the armrest, and the ergonomic toggle remote makes everything effortless. It even includes a programmable memory position button, a built-in USB port for charging devices, and—thoughtfully hidden—a wireless charging station for your phone plus a cup holder to keep your favorite beverage within reach.

Practical Features That Make Life Easier

Daily living is simpler with the Ultra’s thoughtful extras. The upward lift function provides reliable stand-assist support, making it easier to get in and out of the chair. A lithium battery backup ensures the recliner continues working even during power outages. And with a generous 400 lb. weight capacity across all models, it’s designed to accommodate a wide range of users.

Find Your Perfect Fit

The VivaLift!® Ultra is available in three sizes to suit different heights and body types:

• Small (PLR-4955S): Ideal for users 5'4" and below. Seat width 20", seat depth 18", chair height 41".
