Sleeper Style Lift Chairs
Sleeper style lift chairs are designed with sleeping in mind — longer chaise pads, flatter recline geometry, and extended leg support that make actual overnight sleeping in the chair practical and comfortable. They are the right choice for users who need to sleep upright or semi-reclined due to COPD, congestive heart failure, acid reflux, sleep apnea, post-surgical recovery, or chronic back conditions that make lying flat in a bed difficult or impossible.
What Makes a Lift Chair a Sleeper?
Extended Chaise Design
Standard lift chairs have a seat and a separate footrest. Sleeper style chairs feature a continuous chaise pad that runs from the seat through the footrest with no gap — creating a single supported surface from hip to foot. This eliminates the pressure point at the knee and allows your legs to rest naturally over the full length of the chair.
Near-Flat to Fully Flat Recline
Sleeper style chairs recline to near-flat or fully flat angles. The Golden PR-761 EZ Sleeper extends to 43" when reclined — long enough for most users to sleep comfortably. The Perfect Sleep Chair goes to a full 78" flat. Both are significantly flatter than standard infinite position chairs that stop short of fully horizontal.
Twilight Positioning
Several sleeper chairs in this collection include Golden's Twilight technology — a full-chair tilt that creates a cradle position at the deepest recline angles. This reduces pressure on any single point of the body during extended overnight use.

Is a sleeper style chair good for COPD?
Yes — COPD patients often cannot sleep flat due to breathing difficulty. A sleeper style lift chair allows them to sleep at an inclined angle that keeps the airway open while providing the comfort and support of a proper chair rather than propped pillows in a bed. The lift function also makes it easier to reposition during the night without assistance.
