Ambassador Lift Chair Features

Ambassador lift chairs are designed to assist the mobility of people with increased body weight or custom needs. The following features of the Ambassador lift chair range are what set it apart from everyday lift chairs. Things to look for in a durable lift chair, some of which are applicable to both bariatric and average-weighing individuals:

Ambassador Lift Chair Features

Every durable recliner product listed online or in stores should have details about weight capacity. If the user is in the bariatric weight category, then it is essential to purchasing a lift recliner that’s designed to hold a bariatric weight capacity. Using a lift chair for average weight will rapidly decrease the life of the chair and potentially turn into a dangerous situation.

Ambassador Lift Chairs are designed with a safe lifting load and meet Australian Standards. We have a range with 1,2,3 and 4 motors and seat widths to suit individual needs. Click here to see our range.

Frame Build

In the event that something in the frame requires repair, the entirety of the frame wouldn’t need replacing like it would in a welded structure. Ambassador provides a 5-year warranty on its frame and everything is replaceable.

Australian Made

Ambassador Lift Chairs has over 25 years of experience in designing electric lifts and recline chairs. Each chair includes custom-made mechanisms and components, exclusively for Ambassador, which are extra strong, durable and medical grade. Therefore provides greater lifting capacity than some other lift and recliner chairs on the market.

Motor Durability

Make sure that the chair has a long-lasting motor (with a back-up battery) that will lift and lower the person all of the way without straining or losing power. Ambassador provides a 3 year warranty on its Medical Grade Electrics by Linak Australia.

Joint Support

Like any recliner, the user needs excellent joint support for prolonged periods of sitting. The back support should contour well to your spine. For typical spine shapes, there should be extra padding for the lower back in order to support the curvature and filling potential gaps between the back and the cushion.

Ambassador offers the ability to customise the chair pillows to suit individual needs. Our stockists can assist with custom modifications such as softer, thicker, deeper and or pressure care.

Leg Elevation Above Hip Height

High-quality recliners should provide foot elevation at multiple heights and angles. Elevating the feet reduces stress on the lower extremities as well as the hips, which can be a major concern for bariatric individuals. Ambassador leg elevation is the highest on the market and customisable to increase if needed for individual medical needs. Read more here.

Multiple Angle Recline

The Ambassador Lift Chair range offers independent foot and back functions. The lift chair should offer a wide variety of recline angles to meet unique sitting needs that change throughout the day. Reclining features also open up the lungs and the diaphragm in order to facilitate better breathing.
