Because it runs two motors instead of one, the backrest and the leg rest move independently: feet up while you stay sitting upright, or the back dropped without your knees rising to meet it. The seat also tilts forward under power to bring you to your feet, and takes your weight on the way back down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated to 250 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e — a bariatric-tier safe working load.

Recline the back and the legs come up with it, whether you wanted them to or not, and the chair steps through a fixed sequence rather than stopping wherever suits you. A dual-motor chair splits that into two circuits, so back and legs are independent. Day to day that is the difference between sitting upright with your feet raised while you eat or read, and having to lie back to get your legs up at all. It usually opens a deeper recline as well, because the two movements are no longer sharing one path. The honest trade-off: two motors means more buttons on the handset. If the person using the chair finds controls awkward, test that in the showroom rather than discover it at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe number most people fixate on is the weight rating, but the measurement that actually decides whether a lift chair works is the seat. Too narrow and you lose the armrests, which are what you push down on to stand. Too deep and you cannot get your back against the backrest without your feet lifting off the floor — and feet off the floor is precisely the position that makes standing hardest, which defeats the point of the chair. A capacity rating is not a badge bolted onto an ordinary frame either: a chair built to carry 250 kg has a reinforced frame and a heavier lift mechanism underneath it, and the seat is generally widened to sit over that structure. The Grande is built broad rather than long — 73 cm across against a 55 cm depth — so a wider person is well served, while a very tall person should measure their own seated thigh length and back height against it before deciding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003ctable class=\"b4u-spec\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLift chair — powered lift and recline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMotors\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo — backrest and leg rest, independently controlled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRated capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250 kg safe working load\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeat width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e73 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeat depth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55 cm, leg rest closed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"b4u-note\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eBefore You Buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAsk us the seat height from the floor.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the measurement that decides whether the chair suits you.

There are three checks and they take a minute between them. Sit all the way back: your feet should rest flat on the floor, not dangle and not brace. Run two fingers behind your knee: there should be a gap rather than pressure, because a seat that is too deep presses on the back of the leg and slowly becomes the reason you stop using the chair. Then let your arms drop: your elbows should land on the armrests without reaching down or hunching up, because the arms are what you push against to stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIf two of the three feel right and one is off, you are between sizes, and that is common. The useful thing to know is what actually changes between them here: the XL runs 5 cm higher at the seat and 5 cm higher at the backrest, and 6 cm wider overall. So if your complaint is that chairs end too soon at the shoulder, or that your knees sit above your hips, the answer is a size up rather than more padding. If the checks all pass and the chair simply feels roomy, you are in the right one. Tell us which check felt wrong and we will point you at the size that fixes it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003ctable class=\"b4u-spec\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLift chair — powered lift and recline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize in range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard — the middle of the three Hester sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecline\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTo 180°, fully flat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMotors\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo — backrest and leg rest, independently controlled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMassage and heat\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEight-point vibration massage; heating in the backrest and seat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLeg rest\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFoot extension fitted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFootprint\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89 cm wide × 90 cm deep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePacked size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e84 × 76 × 78 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAlso fitted\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSide pockets · wired handset · USB charging point\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUpholstery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFabric — viscose and polyester blend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColours\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue, Grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBattery backup\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo 9 V alkaline batteries — the manual specifies Duracell Plus MN1604 or equivalent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMotor protection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThermal cut-out; allow 10–15 minutes for the safety switch to reset\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIntended use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDomestic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eServicing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInspection recommended every 12 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"b4u-note\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eBefore You Buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRun the three checks.\u003c\/strong\u003e Feet flat on the floor, two fingers of clearance behind the knee, elbows landing naturally on the arms.
