Next-level comfort, Weightless Tilt takes VivaLift! Even Further
Nothing else tilts like the VivaLift! Ultra. Ultra offers a superior, restorative relaxation experience with even more position possibilities. True to its name, VivaLift! Ultra has three different heating pads in the shoulders, lumbar and seat. Plus, the all-new air bladder massage system applies gentle pressure to your lower back, with three intensity settings to soothe your aches away. Of course, the Ultra features the discreet hideaway cup holder and wireless charging station. These favorite convenience features are what Pride customers have grown to love. VivaLift! Ultra comes in three sizes: small, medium and large. It also comes in four standard fabric colors: Capriccio cappucino, dove, slate and smoke.
Breaking Down VivaLift! Tilt
If a recliner leans back, isn’t it already tilting? Great question! It comes down to the pivot point. When a typical recliner leans back, everything pivots from the base of the backrest and the top of the footrest. With VivaLift! Tilt, Pride added a third dimension. VivaLift! Ultra pivots from the rear of the chair, elevating the front of the seat, similar to a rocking chair. This innovative design provides a seriously comfortable Weightless Tilt experience, reclines your body with the legs above the heart level, distributing weight and pressure evenly along the body.
