The Pride VivaLift!® Tranquil 2 PLR-935S is the Small size of the Tranquil 2 — designed for users 5'3" and below, with an 18" seat-to-floor height, 20" seat width, and 18.5" seat depth. All three Tranquil 2 sizes share the same core feature set: true-infinite positioning where the backrest and footrest operate independently, power headrest, power lumbar, footrest extension, an ergonomic memory toggle remote with two programmable positions and a USB charger port, lithium battery backup standard, Total Comfort seating, and a fully padded chaise. The Tranquil 2's visual identity is its Astro faux leather fabric in Brown, Grey, or Mushroom — an upscale look that works as well in a living room as in a bedroom. 400 lb. weight capacity. 7-year pro-rated warranty. Also available in Medium and Large/Tall.
The Small is Pride's answer for shorter users who find standard lift chairs too tall to sit in comfortably. At 18" seat-to-floor, it's one of the lowest seat heights available in the VivaLift!® lineup — your feet rest flat on the floor, your knees sit at 90 degrees, and the lift function raises you to a true standing assist position without the chair undershooting because the starting height was wrong. The 13" wall clearance needed for full recline is notably the smallest of any Tranquil 2 size, which makes it practical in bedrooms and smaller living rooms where space behind the chair is limited.
The Tranquil 2 uses enhanced true-infinite positioning — the backrest and footrest move completely independently from each other at any angle in any combination. The enhanced version specifically enables a position where the footrest raises your feet above your heart, a zero-gravity-adjacent configuration that reduces gravitational load on the circulatory system and relieves pressure from the lower back and legs. Pride calls this out specifically in the Tranquil 2 brochure as an advancement over standard infinite positioning. The two programmable memory buttons on the remote let you save your preferred positions — your TV angle, your sleep position, your zero-gravity setting — and return to them instantly without manual adjustment.

The Tranquil 2's Astro fabric is a faux leather with a rich, upscale appearance in three colorways — Brown (a warm chocolate tone), Grey (a cool mid-grey), and Mushroom (a warm greige). Faux leather in this context means easy wipe-clean maintenance without the cost or care requirements of genuine leather. The surface is soft to the touch but more resilient to spills and surface staining than fabric upholstery — a practical consideration for daily use. All three colors photograph and present as premium furniture rather than medical equipment, which matters to many of our customers who want a chair that looks at home in a living room.
Astro Faux Leather Colors:
Brown
Grey
Mushroom
Standard fabric: Astro Brown. Optional: Grey, Mushroom.
"The Tranquil 2 Small is the chair we reach for first when a shorter customer wants infinite positioning without heat or massage. The 18-inch seat-to-floor height is genuinely low — it's comfortable for someone 5'3" or under in a way that a medium or standard chair simply isn't. The faux leather looks like a proper piece of furniture, and 13 inches of wall clearance means it fits in spaces where other infinite-position chairs won't."

Common questions from customers at Broadway Home Medical considering the Tranquil 2 Small.
True-infinite positioning means the backrest and footrest operate completely independently. The enhanced version on the Tranquil 2 specifically enables a position where the footrest elevates your feet above your heart — a zero-gravity-adjacent position that reduces circulatory load on the legs and relieves lumbar pressure. You can set any combination of backrest and footrest angles, including fully flat. The two programmable memory buttons on the remote let you save and return to your preferred positions instantly.
The Small is designed for users 5'3" and below. The 18" seat-to-floor height allows shorter users to sit with their feet flat on the floor and knees at roughly 90 degrees — essential for both comfort and for the lift mechanism to function properly. The 33.75" overall width and 13" wall clearance also make it the most compact of the three Tranquil 2 sizes, fitting in smaller rooms where the Medium or Large/Tall won't work.
Astro is Pride's faux leather upholstery for the Tranquil 2 — it has the rich, upscale appearance of leather with easier maintenance. Spills wipe clean without the care requirements of genuine leather. It's available in Brown (standard), Grey, and Mushroom. All three colorways present as premium furniture rather than clinical equipment, which is a priority for many customers who want the chair to fit their home décor.
Both are VivaLift!® infinite-position chairs with power headrest, power lumbar, footrest extension, memory remote, and lithium backup standard. The Radiance adds three-zone heating (shoulders, lumbar, seat) and comes in fabric upholstery. The Tranquil 2 has no heat or massage but uses Astro faux leather for an upscale look and feel. Choose the Tranquil 2 if aesthetics and easy-clean upholstery are priorities. Choose the Radiance if heat therapy is important.
The Small needs only 13" of clearance behind the chair to fully recline — the least of any Tranquil 2 size and notably compact for an infinite-position lift chair. Place the back of the chair at least 13" from the wall when planning placement. Measurements may vary ±1".
The Tranquil 2 is available at Broadway Home Medical, Wichita's largest DME store. Stop by either of our locations to sit in the chair and compare it to the Medium and Large/Tall before deciding. Getting the right size matters — we always recommend sitting in the chair before purchase.
