Standard Features — Both Sizes
- Twilight Positioning Technology — reclines through zero-gravity position (legs above heart level) and into Trendelenburg position (legs and feet elevated above the head), reducing spinal compression, improving venous circulation, and creating a deeply decompressed resting position
- Nirvana Swedish Air Massage — pneumatic air cell massage system using alternating inflation and deflation to deliver a rhythmic Swedish-style massage; different from vibration-based massage motors
- HeatWave Technology — integrated therapeutic heat within the chair — active during massage or independently; soothes muscle tension and promotes circulation
- Power-Adjustable Headrest — motorized headrest adjusts independently of the main recline position; customizable neck and head support without moving the entire chair
- Power Lumbar Support — motorized lumbar support adjusts independently to dial in lower back support at any recline angle
- Infinite Position — footrest and backrest move independently and continuously, not at fixed stop points; any position from fully upright to fully reclined is achievable
- Full-Chaise Padded Footrest — continuous padding from seat cushion through to the footrest with no gap at the knee; full lower-body support in reclined positions
- Programmable Hand Control — saves preferred positions for one-touch recall; controls lift, recline, headrest, lumbar, and massage independently
- USB Charging Port — built into the chair for charging devices while seated
- Lithium-Ion Battery Backup — powers lift and recline functions during power outages; no risk of being unable to return the chair to upright when power fails
- Quick-Release Removable Back — back detaches for moving through standard doorways during delivery and room transitions
- Side Pocket — accessible storage for remote control, reading material, or personal items

Clinical FAQs
What is Twilight Technology and how is it different from a standard infinite position lift chair?
A standard infinite position lift chair allows the backrest and footrest to recline independently to any angle — a significant advantage over 3-position chairs that stop at fixed recline points. Twilight Technology takes this further by enabling two therapeutic reclining positions that standard infinite chairs cannot achieve. The first is a zero-gravity position, in which the legs are elevated above the level of the heart, the body weight is distributed evenly across the chair surface, and spinal compression is minimized — the same position used in zero-gravity sleeping beds and reclining air travel seats. The second is a Trendelenburg position, in which the legs and feet are elevated above the head level — the opposite of normal seated posture. This position promotes venous return from the lower limbs, reduces dependent edema in the legs and ankles, and offloads pressure from sacral and lumbar tissues. For patients with chronic venous insufficiency, lower back pain, orthostatic hypotension, or prolonged seated postures, the Twilight positioning range provides therapeutic value that a standard infinite chair does not.
What is Nirvana Swedish Air Massage and how does it differ from standard chair massage?
Most lift chair massage systems use electric vibration motors embedded in the chair cushions — they create a buzzing or vibrating sensation against the body surface. Nirvana Swedish Air Massage uses a pneumatic system of air cells positioned throughout the chair that inflate and deflate in alternating patterns, creating a wave-like compression-and-release motion across the back, lumbar, seat, and thigh areas. This mechanism more closely replicates the rhythmic compression strokes of a Swedish therapeutic massage — kneading and mobilizing soft tissue through pressure rather than surface vibration. The air cells operate silently compared to vibration motors and the HeatWave heat integration combines with the massage to enhance muscle relaxation and circulation. The effect is more therapeutic and less superficial than standard vibration-based chair massage, which is why it is preferred by users managing chronic muscle tension, back pain, and post-surgical stiffness.
How do I choose between the Medium and Large size?
The most reliable fit indicator is the seat-to-floor height — when seated, the user's feet should rest flat on the floor with the knees at approximately a 90-degree angle. Medium has a 20" seat-to-floor height; Large has 21". For users at the boundary of the height ranges (around 5'10"), try both: a taller user in the Medium may find their knees elevated above 90 degrees; a shorter user in the Large may find their feet dangling. Seat depth matters for thigh support — Medium is 21", Large is 22"; the seat depth should support the full thigh without the front edge of the seat pressing into the back of the knees. Width between arms should accommodate the user comfortably without feeling confined: Medium is 22", Large is 24". Body proportions matter as much as height — a 5'11" user with a compact build may prefer the Medium's closer dimensions. Call our team at 1-866-218-0902 for personalized sizing guidance.
What delivery options are available and what does setup involve?
Three delivery options are available. Free Standard Residential Delivery (curbside): the chair ships fully assembled on a wooden pallet, delivered to the curb or garage entrance. The packaging must be removed and the chair lifted off the pallet — best done with two people. No in-home placement is included. Threshold/Garage Delivery ($99): the chair is brought to the first accessible entry point of the home, beyond the threshold. White Glove Delivery ($299, adds 5–7 business days): certified technicians deliver, place, and fully set up the chair in the room of your choice, ensure all functions are operational, and demonstrate use before departing. For users who cannot manage physical setup or live alone, White Glove is the recommended option. The quick-release back is designed to allow the chair to fit through standard 32" interior doorways with the back removed during placement.
