Pride VivaLift Premier PLR-5900 Lift Chair

The Pride VivaLift Premier Lift Chair is unlike most lift chairs on the market. It combines advanced powered positioning with built-in entertainment features, heat, massage, and genuine leather upholstery.
This is the kind of chair we would recommend to someone who wants their lift chair to become their main chair in the home - not simply something they use to help them stand.
What stands out immediately about the Premier is how many features Pride has managed to build into one recliner without making it feel overly clinical.
 
True-Infinite Positioning with VivaLift Tilt
 
The Premier uses True-Infinite positioning, which allows the backrest and footrest to operate independently.
It also includes Pride’s VivaLift Tilt system, which changes the angle of the entire seating surface and can position the knees above the heart for a more weightless, zero-gravity-style feeling.
We like this because it gives the user more ways to change position throughout the day instead of remaining in essentially the same seated posture for hours at a time.
 
Built-In Audio and Cinematic Vibration
 
This is the feature that really separates the Pride VivaLift Premier Lift Chair from the rest of the VivaLift lineup.
The chair includes an integrated audio system that connects to compatible devices through Bluetooth. Built-in cinematic vibration works alongside the audio to create a more immersive experience while watching television, movies, sporting events, or playing games.
Bass, treble, and other audio settings can be adjusted directly from controls built into the chair.
It is definitely not a feature everyone needs, but for someone who spends a lot of time in their recliner watching television, it makes the Premier a very unique chair.
 
Heat and Massage
 
The Premier includes both heat and massage.
Three heating areas are positioned around the shoulders, lumbar area, and seat, while an air-bladder massage system provides adjustable pressure around the lower back.
The massage system offers multiple intensity levels, allowing the user to choose how much support and movement they prefer.
We view these features as comfort features rather than a replacement for medical treatment, but they can make the chair much more enjoyable for someone who spends long periods sitting.
 
Power Headrest and Lumbar Support
 
The Premier also includes powered headrest and lumbar adjustment.
The headrest is especially useful when reclining because it allows you to bring your head and line of sight forward without having to bring the entire chair upright.
The powered lumbar adjustment lets you change the amount of lower-back support using the hand control rather than adding pillows behind your back.
 
Premium Leather Upholstery
 
The Premier is upholstered in Pride’s Sorrento leather and is available in Coffee and Eclipse.
This gives the chair a noticeably more premium appearance than many traditional lift chairs.
For customers who do not want their living room to look like it contains medical equipment, we think this is one of the Premier’s biggest advantages.
 
Comfortable, Supportive Seating
 
The Premier uses pocketed coil spring seating with a fully padded chaise and extended ottoman.
The medium model provides a generous 23-inch seat width and has a 400 lb. weight capacity.
However, we still recommend trying the chair whenever possible.
Seat width is only one part of fit. Seat depth, seat-to-floor height, leg length, posture, and transfer ability all affect how comfortable a lift chair will actually be.
 
More Than Just a Lift Recliner
 
The Premier still performs the most important job of a lift chair.
At the press of a button, it raises and tilts forward to assist the user when moving from sitting to standing, and provides a controlled way to lower back into the chair.
It also includes convenient features such as:
Wireless phone charging
USB-A and USB-C charging
Magnetic hand control docking
Storage in both arms
Lithium battery backup
Hideaway cup holder
These may sound like small additions individually, but together they make the chair much more enjoyable to use every day.
 
Who Is the Premier Best For?
 
We would recommend the Premier to someone who spends a significant amount of time in their recliner and wants the chair to provide more than basic lift assistance.
If you simply want a reliable chair that lifts and reclines, there are much less expensive options.
But if you want advanced positioning, heat, massage, premium upholstery, built-in audio, and a chair designed around relaxation and entertainment, the Premier is genuinely different from almost anything else in the lift-chair category.
 
Why Buy Your Lift Chair From Function at Home?
 
Choosing the right lift chair is about more than picking a colour and ordering a model online.
At Function at Home, we help you compare seat width, seat depth, seat-to-floor height, leg support, positioning, transfer ability, and overall comfort before making a decision.
We also take the time to explain the differences between models so you are not paying extra for features you may never use - or choosing a basic chair when a more adjustable model would genuinely suit you better.
 
As a local mobility and home-care equipment provider in London, Ontario, we can also help with delivery, setup, product education, and ongoing support after the sale.
