Lift Chair and Recliner Services in San Marcos, California

Lift chairs look like regular recliners but are designed with an electric lifting mechanism that gently tilts the user forward to help them stand up safely. Unlike traditional recliners, lift chairs are considered medical devices and often feature multiple position settings, therapeutic benefits like zero gravity, and heat/massage options. At Advanced Medical, we offer various models—from basic 2-position to advanced infinite-position chairs—to suit different health and lifestyle needs.

Medicare may cover only the cost of the lifting mechanism, not the entire chair, and only when deemed medically necessary by a doctor. Most private insurance policies have similar limitations. Advanced Medical helps guide customers through the paperwork and can provide itemized invoices and documentation to assist with reimbursement or financing. We also offer affordable payment plans and refurbished models for those paying out-of-pocket.

An infinite position lift chair features two independent motors—one for the backrest and one for the footrest—allowing users to customize their recline and leg elevation separately. This creates a nearly endless range of positions, including zero gravity and Trendelenburg, which can improve circulation and reduce back pressure. These chairs are ideal for users who spend extended periods in their chair or have specific medical needs. Advanced Medical demonstrates each position so customers understand the true value behind the term.

While not essential, heat and massage can offer substantial benefits for people with arthritis, chronic pain, circulation issues, or muscle stiffness. These features are especially useful for seniors spending long hours in their chair. At Advanced Medical, we let you test these options in-store to assess whether the added cost matches your therapeutic needs. We only recommend them when they genuinely add value to your daily comfort and wellness.

Yes—particularly infinite position models. Reclining to different angles throughout the day relieves pressure from one single point on your body. Some chairs also have memory foam or gel-infused cushions, which improve weight distribution and comfort. Advanced Medical can advise on models best suited for users with limited mobility or those recovering from surgery to reduce risk of pressure ulcers and musculoskeletal stress.

At Advanced Medical, we offer white glove delivery and setup within the San Marcos area, which includes in-home assembly, positioning of the chair, and demonstration of the controls. We also offer haul-away service for your old furniture for an additional fee. This ensures you're not left struggling with heavy lifting or unclear setup instructions. Our technicians make sure the chair fits your space and operates perfectly before leaving your home.

Absolutely. Gone are the days of clunky, clinical-looking models. Today’s lift chairs come in dozens of fabrics, colors, and sleek designs to match any home decor. Advanced Medical carries customizable upholstery options, including stain-resistant and pet-friendly materials. We help customers select styles that blend in with their living space without sacrificing comfort or functionality.

Yes, especially infinite-position and lay-flat models, which are designed for overnight or extended use. Many customers with sleep apnea, acid reflux, or post-surgical needs find sleeping in a lift chair more comfortable than a traditional bed. Advanced Medical helps you determine the best model for round-the-clock use, and we provide optional accessories like overbed tables, lumbar pillows, and headrests for extra comfort during long hours of rest.

While most chairs offer preset lift/recline speeds, some models have adjustable lift settings or programmable remotes that let you control motion smoothness. This is particularly helpful for users with vertigo, joint issues, or post-op needs. At Advanced Medical, we guide customers through choosing user-friendly remote controls and demonstrate their customization features to prevent abrupt motion or discomfort during transitions.

Yes, but sizing is crucial. We offer wall-hugger and petite models that require minimal clearance and fit well in apartments or mobile homes. Some even have removable backs for easy transport through narrow hallways. At Advanced Medical, we’ll ask about your room layout, doorway widths, and furniture placement to ensure you choose a chair that fits comfortably in your space without blocking access or disrupting flow.
