Some lift chairs come with conveniences like built-in heat and massage, pockets to hold magazines, and snack trays with or without cup holders. All of these extras add to the cost of the chair, but for some people those extras may make the difference between having a comfortable chair and having a chair that doesn't meet their needs.
The church and the chair have an even deeper connection, as the word "chair" derives from the Latin "cathedra", the connection being the designation of a church that was the "seat" of a bishop as a cathedral.
Lift chairs are a source of independence for people who have trouble rising from a sitting position. The chairs are motorized, and they rise slowly and tip forward slightly to allow the person to go from sitting to standing without having to lift their body weight. They are very useful in private homes, and in nursing homes to help the elderly or disabled have a degree of independence and to keep nursing assistants free to tackle more demanding tasks.
