At Last, A Lift Chair Built to Last: The Sitting Pretty Evolution Heavy-Duty Line from Pride Mobility
One of the most crucial factors when it comes to patients with mobility needs and limitations is reliability; so, having a lift chair that is dependable not only helps with their physical needs but also provides peace of mind. Lift chairs have been an integral product of the durable medical equipment, providing relief for many, but also saw their fair share of downsides: returns, repairs, and frustrated customers.
The culprit behind the problems… Wooden Frames.
Now, do not get it wrong, wood has many benefits, especially for non-heavy-duty chairs, and for decades has been used for framework because it is lightweight, affordable, easily attainable, but just like everything, wood has limitations.
When wood is used as the framework of a HEAVY-DUTY lift chair, patients are depending on the lift mechanism of the chair to lift their body weight up and down multiple times a day, and even at times, patients sleep in the chairs. This consistent wear causes stress cracks to develop, joints to loosen, and then eventually break down completely.
For customers and their loved ones, these issues, even the minor ones, caused major inconveniences, but more so, the customers lost their trust in the product, and would worry about what would happen next time.
For the medical equipment providers, this meant many replacement orders, unfortunate returns, and having difficult conversations with customers and their loved ones who were understandably often angry and disappointed.
Finally, after years of feedback from the medical equipment providers, but most importantly, the consumers, Pride Mobility turned the tide of the heavy-duty lift chair category. Pride heard and saw the issues about wooden frames for heavy-duty chairs, and instead of continuing with that routine, they took the initiative and constructed their own reinforced steel frame heavy-duty chair line.

This chair is a real game changer, and here is why.
Strength
So, like rock beats paper, steel beats wood, every time. Steel is a special metal. It has superior strength and load ability, allowing its structures to manage much higher weight abilities and long-term use compared to wood structures. This is ideal for heavy-duty lift chair frames that are used daily to aid patients in standing and sitting.
Durability & Lifespan
Wooden frames are natural, so of course, they are prone to natural breakdowns such as drying out, wear from humidity, stress points, and just the normal wear and tear of daily use. Steel frames are resistant to all these pain points, along with providing a longer life of service and a lower failure rate. This frame is set to deliver the peace of mind that all patients and their loved ones look for.
Reduced Returns & Repairs
One of the biggest frustrations patients and suppliers faced was dealing with long repair wait times; now, with steel frames, the warranty claims and returns have been dramatically reduced. This saves time and frustration for all parties involved.
Safety & Stability
Stability is the golden word when it comes to customers with limited mobility issues. With a product line that offers top-of-the-line stability, not only is peace of mind given, but with the reduced risk of mechanical and structural breakdown, the risk of falls and injuries is reduced as well.
KEY STAND-OUT FEATURES
· Steel-reinforced frame — designed for everyday use.
· Greater safety, stability, and reliability
· Reduced breakage, fewer returns, and higher satisfaction
Built for Your Living Room, Not Just for Showroom Floors.
The Sitting Pretty Evolution line has gained a reputation for being a solid and reliable line because when Pride designed and constructed the chair, they were thinking of their customers, sitting in their living rooms, not just showrooms. They were thinking of their customers using the chair day after day for months and years on end, not just a few days or weeks. Pride took into consideration all factors- safety, repetition, comfort, and concluded that steel reinforcement could manage all these needs and more.
Why Medical Equipment Providers are Loving the Sitting Pretty Line.
Medical equipment businesses have always strived to provide the best service for the customers, but when unforeseen circumstances such as a damaged frame would occur in transit for these sometimes-custom-built chairs, the disappointment felt upon breaking that news to the customer was immense. These issues would affect the business's bottom line profits, but most importantly, fracture the customer’s trust. Then came along the Sitting Pretty HD line, and things started to change. Reports of damage and returns have significantly reduced, and customer satisfaction has increased. Confidence and trust grew between provider and consumer, and Pride’s commitment to quality means fewer follow-up calls, fewer field service visits, and more confidence in your chair.
More Than a Chair, A Long-Term Investment
Buying medical equipment is usually never budgeted for, and with the cost of materials rising, the prices can seem overwhelming. A reliable steel-framed, heavy-duty lift chair for yourself or your loved ones ensures that buying a lift chair becomes a worthwhile investment. The hassles and frustrations of broken frames and constant repairs are drastically decreased, and the reliability of consistent support increases. These are invaluable factors.
At the End of The Day
Wooden framed lift chairs are still very practical and still highly favorable; however, when it comes to a heavy-duty framed lift chair, wood just doesn’t suit all the patient's needs as a steel-framed lift chair does. The Sitting Pretty Heavy-Duty Lift Chair line from Pride Mobility stands for a smart and much-needed evolution in design. The days of recurring problems for both medical equipment providers, patients, and manufacturers are in the past, and we are looking forward to a bright, safe, and reliable future!
A lift chair is an investment in supporting the mobility of yourself or a loved one, and instead of dealing with chairs that break down before they should, invest in a chair that is built to last.
