The Pride VivaLift!® Metro 2 PLR-925 is a single-size infinite-position power lift recliner designed for users 5'3" and below, built around a contemporary aesthetic and the tightest footprint in the VivaLift!® lineup. At 33" overall width and only 14" of required wall clearance, it fits in spaces where larger lift chairs simply won't. Enhanced true-infinite positioning with the backrest and footrest operating independently — including raising your feet above your heart — is standard, along with power headrest, power lumbar, footrest extension, and an ergonomic toggle remote with two programmable memory positions and a USB charger port. Lithium battery backup is standard. Saville fabric in Grey or Brown. 400 lb. weight capacity. 7-year pro-rated warranty.
The Metro 2 occupies a specific niche that no other chair in the VivaLift!® range fills: a compact, contemporary-looking infinite-position lift chair for shorter users in tight spaces. The Tranquil 2 Small comes close, but the Metro 2 is narrower (33" vs. 33.75"), needs less wall clearance (14" vs. 13" — essentially the same), and presents a sleeker, more modern design profile in Saville fabric rather than faux leather. For a customer who wants the full VivaLift!® feature set in a chair that looks like intentional contemporary furniture and fits in a smaller room, the Metro 2 is the answer.
At 33" overall width and 14" wall clearance, the Metro 2 is the most space-efficient chair in Pride's VivaLift!® range. To put that in practical terms: 33" is narrower than a standard recliner, and 14" behind the chair is about the depth of a typical baseboard heater. Smaller bedrooms, guest rooms, apartment living rooms, and layouts where every inch matters are all situations where the Metro 2 works and other infinite-position lift chairs don't. The 142 lb. chair weight is also at the lighter end for a fully-featured infinite-position chair, which matters for delivery and positioning. About the Metro 2's compact footprint →
The Metro 2 uses the same enhanced true-infinite positioning as the Tranquil 2 and Radiance — the backrest and footrest operate completely independently, and the enhanced version specifically enables a configuration where your feet rise above your heart. This reduces gravitational load on the circulatory system, relieves lumbar pressure, and produces the weightlessness sensation associated with zero-gravity recline. Power headrest, power lumbar, and footrest extension round out the six independently controlled comfort positions. The two programmable memory buttons on the toggle remote store your preferred configurations for instant one-press recall — a step up from the single memory button on the Ultra. About the positioning →
"The Metro 2 is the chair we show when someone needs infinite positioning but has a smaller room or a tighter space to work with. 33 inches wide and 14 inches from the wall — that's genuinely compact for a chair with this feature set. The Saville fabric has a softer, more contemporary feel than the Tranquil 2's faux leather, and the design reads as furniture rather than equipment. For a shorter user in a smaller space who doesn't need heat or massage, this is often the right call."

The Metro 2 uses Saville fabric — a soft, contemporary upholstery in two colorways: Grey (a cool mid-grey) and Brown (a warm chocolate tone). Saville has a different character from the Tranquil 2's Astro faux leather — softer to the touch, with a more textile feel that suits the Metro 2's modern design direction. Both colors work naturally in contemporary home settings without drawing attention as medical equipment. They're available to see in person at Broadway Home Medical.
Saville Fabric Colors:
Brown
Grey
Both chairs are designed for users 5'3" and under with enhanced true-infinite positioning, two programmable memory positions, lithium battery backup, power headrest, and power lumbar. The differences come down to fabric, dimensions, and price. The Metro 2 is slightly narrower (33" vs. 33.75" overall width), uses Saville soft fabric vs. the Tranquil 2's Astro faux leather, and has a more contemporary design profile. The Tranquil 2 Small has a lower seat-to-floor height (18" vs. 19") — a meaningful difference if you're on the shorter end of 5'3" and need feet flat on the floor with a lower seat. The Metro 2 also sits slightly higher overall at 19" seat-to-floor. If you're deciding between the two, coming in to sit in both is the best approach. Metro 2 vs. Tranquil 2 comparison →

Common questions from customers at Broadway Home Medical considering the Metro 2.
The Metro 2 is sized for users 5'3" and below, which means all its dimensions — seat depth, seat width, overall width, and the mechanical travel of the recline — are proportioned for a smaller frame. A chair sized for taller users needs more room to recline because the seat is deeper and the travel arc is longer. The Metro 2's 33" overall width and 14" wall clearance are a direct result of being correctly scaled for a shorter user rather than trying to make a medium or large chair fit a small space.
The Metro 2's enhanced true-infinite positioning allows the backrest and footrest to move independently at any angle in any combination, including a fully flat lay-flat position and a position where your feet are elevated above your heart. Six functions operate independently: power headrest, upward lift, power lumbar, footrest extension, backrest, and the enhanced infinite recline. The two programmable memory buttons on the remote save and recall your preferred positions with a single press.
Both chairs target users 5'3" and under with the same core features: enhanced true-infinite positioning, two programmable memory positions, power headrest, power lumbar, lithium backup, and fully padded chaise. Key differences: the Tranquil 2 Small has an 18" seat-to-floor vs. 19" on the Metro 2 — better for very short users who need a lower seat height. The Tranquil 2 uses Astro faux leather while the Metro 2 uses Saville soft fabric — a different feel and aesthetic. The Metro 2 is slightly narrower at 33" vs. 33.75" overall. Sitting in both is the best way to decide.
No — the Metro 2 is available in one size only (PLR-925M), designed for users 5'3" and below. If you are taller than 5'3" and want infinite positioning, the Tranquil 2 is available in Small, Medium, and Large/Tall sizes covering users up to any height. The Radiance PLR-3955 and Ultra PLR-4955 also cover a full height range and add heat, massage, and other features.
Saville is the upholstery Pride uses on the Metro 2 — a soft contemporary fabric in Brown and Grey. It has a different feel from the Tranquil 2's Astro faux leather: more textile, less leather-like, with a look that suits the Metro 2's modern design direction. Both colors are neutral enough to fit most home décors and present as furniture rather than medical equipment.
The Metro 2's remote includes two programmable memory buttons. You set the chair to any position — your preferred TV angle, zero-gravity sleep position, or any other configuration — and save it to one of the memory buttons. Press that button at any time and the chair moves directly to that saved position. Having two saves lets you store two frequently used positions, such as one for daytime use and one for sleeping.
