Chula Vista lift chairs from Golden and Pride

Relaxing should not feel like a chore. Yet many evenings start with hunting for the heating pad, plugging in a massager and wedging pillows behind your back, only to find that your legs still ache and your hips still carry all the pressure. Standing up afterward takes effort you would rather save.

The Pride VivaLift! Ultra replaces that routine with a single button. Exclusive VivaLift! Tilt pivots the chair from the rear and raises the front of the seat, lifting your knees above your heart so your weight spreads evenly and your body feels light. Built-in heat pads warm your shoulders, lumbar and seat at three levels, and an air-bladder massage soothes your lower back at three intensities. A power headrest, power lumbar and true-infinite positioning complete the comfort, and the power lift helps you rise with ease. Chula Vista, your evenings are about to feel completely different.

Overstuffed recliners promise comfort, then let you down. Without real structure, your hips slide forward, your lower back sinks into a hollow and your neck strains to see the television. You spend the evening shifting instead of relaxing.

The Golden PR517 Cloud combines softness with support. Its custom bucket seat holds your hips and encourages good posture while the famously plush Cloud cushioning wraps around you. Golden’s 4-Zone Comfort Zone system with patented MaxiComfort positioning gives the footrest, backrest, headrest and lumbar their own adjustments, and the seat repositions as you recline to keep you cradled. The programmable AutoDrive hand control stores your favorite position for one-touch return. Add HeatWave heat or deluxe heat and vibrating massage for soothing relief. Built in the USA with a lifetime warranty on the frame, lift frame and recline mechanism, the Cloud turns your recliner into the most comfortable place in your home.

The backrest is where most recliners fail. Built for an imaginary average person, it puts the cushion in the wrong place for nearly everyone: too high for some, too low for others and never quite filling the curve of the lower back. Hours later, your neck and shoulders feel it.

The Golden PR766 Relaxer solves that with an adjustable three-pillow waterfall back. Position each pillow at your neck, shoulders and lumbar, and the chair finally fits you. Golden’s patented MaxiComfort positioning, first introduced on the Relaxer, angles the seat as you recline to cradle your hips and relax your knees into a natural bend. Super-plush rounded armrests, an extra-wide chaise pad and a pocketed coil seat keep you comfortable all afternoon, and the AutoDrive hand control lifts you to your feet with one button. In small, medium and large, each rated to 400 pounds, it is comfort made to measure.
