For anyone dealing with joint pain, arthritis, or limited mobility, a lift chair with built-in heat and massage does more than help you stand: it actively supports comfort throughout the day. Pride Mobility has long been one of the most trusted names in lift chairs, and two of their standout models bring therapeutic heat and massage together with a powerful lift mechanism: the Pride Vivalift! Ultra Lift Chair Recliner and the Pride Heritage LC-358 Power Lift Chair Recliner. Here is what sets each one apart and how to decide which is right for you.

View full detailsPride Mobility, the world's largest lift chair manufacturer, integrates heat and massage directly into the chair rather than adding them as afterthoughts. Zone-based heat and adjustable massage work alongside the lift mechanism to ease muscle tension, support circulation, and make extended sitting genuinely comfortable.
The VivaLift! Ultra is an FDA Class II Medical Device, designed to aid individuals with mobility impairments who want the full range of therapeutic positioning alongside built-in heat and massage.
The backrest and footrest move independently, so you can elevate your legs while keeping your back at a comfortable angle. This configuration is particularly useful for managing leg swelling, improving circulation, or following post-surgical positioning guidelines.
The VivaLift! Ultra's True-Infinite positioning includes a zero-gravity configuration that places the legs slightly above heart level and reduces spinal compression. For users with chronic back pain or those recovering from surgery, this positioning option alone can make a significant difference in how the chair performs day to day.
The Vivalift! Ultra is available in three size configurations to accommodate a wide range of body types. Choosing the right size is important for both comfort and safety, so Pride offers Small, Medium, and Large/Tall options with distinct measurements across each.

The VivaLift! Ultra is the stronger choice for users who want maximum therapeutic flexibility, including those managing chronic back pain, circulation issues, or post-surgical recovery, as well as anyone spending extended hours in the chair each day who wants more than a standard recliner can offer.
The Pride Heritage LC-358 is a 3 position power lift chair that brings reliable comfort and practical heat and massage functionality in a more traditional form factor. The Heritage LC-358 focuses on dependable everyday performance, making it an excellent fit for users whose primary need is safe assisted standing with added comfort features for extended sitting.
The 3 position recline covers upright seating, a standard recliner angle, and a near-flat position well-suited for napping or leg elevation. The back and footrest move as a single unit, which keeps the mechanism straightforward and the chair profile more compact than infinite-position models. For users who sleep comfortably in a bed and don't need independent leg and back positioning, the Heritage LC-358 delivers exactly what's needed without unnecessary complexity.
The Heritage LC-358 comes standard as a 3 position power lift chair. Heat and massage are available as an optional add-on rather than a standard inclusion. When selected, the package includes zone-based heat and massage controlled from the chair's remote. Additional options available on most configurations include First Up, which lifts the user to a standing position at the press of a single button, useful for anyone seeking higher efficiency than a standard lift assist, and an optional Lithium Battery Backup for use during power outages.
Configuration notes:
The Heritage LC-358 is available in six configurations to accommodate a wide range of body types and user heights, including a Petite Wide option for users who need extra seat width without added height. Weight capacity varies by configuration, with the Extra Large and Extra Extra Large models rated for significantly higher loads.
