Orange County, Phoenix & Las Vegas VivaLift! Ultra PLR-4955

The Pride Mobility VivaLift!® Ultra PLR-4955 is a premium power lift chair recliner designed for people who want more than a traditional recliner. It combines powered positioning, a lifting mechanism, comfort adjustments, heat, massage, charging convenience and multiple size choices in one sophisticated chair.

One of the defining features of the PLR-4955 is Pride’s VivaLift!® Tilt function. Instead of merely reclining the back, the chair can change the angle of the seating platform so the front of the seat rises and the body can move into a deeper restorative position.

Pride describes the Tilt position as a way to elevate the knees above the heart and create a sensation of weightlessness. Many customers appreciate this style of positioning when they want to relax with their legs elevated and their body well supported.

The PLR-4955 is a true-infinite-position power recliner. The backrest and footrest can move independently, giving the user much more control than a conventional three-position lift chair where major sections move together.

Independent movement matters because every person has a different preferred posture. Some people want the feet elevated while remaining more upright, while others want the back lowered farther while adjusting the footrest separately.

The power headrest is designed to raise and support the head, neck and shoulders. This is especially useful when the chair is reclined because the user can bring the head forward for reading, conversation or television viewing without giving up leg elevation.

Power lumbar support is another important comfort feature. The lumbar section can be adjusted to provide more or less support in the lower-back area, allowing the user to tailor the chair to personal preference.

The Ultra also incorporates a powered backrest that can be adjusted independently. This helps the chair accommodate a wide range of resting, reading, television-watching and relaxation positions.

Pride equips the PLR-4955 with a footrest extension. The extension helps create a longer support surface so the user can stretch out more completely when reclining.

The upward lift mechanism provides stand-assist functionality. When activated, the chair rises and tilts forward to make the transition from sitting to standing more convenient for users who may have difficulty rising from a low seat.

The lifting function can also make sitting down easier because the user may back up to the elevated seat and then lower the chair gradually into a comfortable seated position.

The VivaLift! Ultra PLR-4955 has a 400-pound weight capacity according to Pride Mobility. Selecting the correct size is still important because seat width, seat depth, floor-to-seat height and back height differ between models.

Pride offers the Ultra in Small, Medium and Large/Tall configurations. These size choices make it easier to match the recliner to the user’s height and body proportions rather than treating one chair size as suitable for everyone.

The Small PLR-4955S is listed by Pride for users approximately 5 feet 4 inches and below. It has an 18-inch seat-to-floor height, an 18-inch seat depth and a 20-inch seat width.

The Medium PLR-4955M is listed for a height range of approximately 5 feet 5 inches through 6 feet 1 inch. It has a 19.5-inch seat-to-floor height, a 21-inch seat depth and a 22.5-inch seat width.

The Large/Tall PLR-4955L is intended for taller users. Pride lists a 21-inch seat-to-floor height, a 22-inch seat depth and a 23-inch seat width, with a taller back and greater overall chair height.

Room placement should be considered before delivery. Pride lists approximately 15 inches of wall clearance for the Small and Medium versions and approximately 21.5 inches for the Large/Tall version.

The fully padded chaise helps support the legs between the seat and the footrest. This creates a more continuous support surface and can feel more comfortable than recliners that leave a gap beneath the legs.

The Deluxe Biscuit Back design gives the chair a plush, segmented appearance while providing multiple padded support areas along the user’s back.

The PLR-4955 includes a heat system with three heat zones positioned in the shoulder, lumbar and seat regions. Pride provides three heat levels, allowing the user to choose a gentler or warmer setting.

The chair also includes an advanced massage system focused on the lower-back area. Pride describes three massage intensity settings so the user can select the level that feels best.

Heat and massage controls are conveniently accessible from the chair. The design is intended to make these comfort functions easy to reach without requiring the user to leave the reclined position.

The ergonomically designed toggle hand control gives the user command over the chair’s powered functions. The control is designed around straightforward position adjustments rather than requiring complicated menus.

Programmable positioning can make a major difference for daily use. Once a preferred position is found, the user can more easily return to a familiar comfort setting instead of recreating it from scratch each time.

The Ultra’s hideaway wireless charging station provides a convenient place to charge a compatible smartphone while relaxing in the chair. This reduces the need to run a separate phone cable across the seating area.

A hideaway cup holder is integrated into the chair as well. When it is not needed, it remains discreetly concealed, helping the recliner retain a cleaner furniture-style appearance.

These built-in conveniences are especially useful for people who spend longer periods in the recliner. Having a beverage and phone close at hand can reduce unnecessary reaching and repeated trips across the room.

The lithium battery backup is designed to keep the chair operational during a household power outage. This is an important consideration for anyone who relies on the power lift function to get in and out of the chair.

A battery backup is particularly valuable because a power recliner can otherwise remain in its last powered position when electricity is interrupted. Backup power can help the user return the chair to a safer or more convenient position.

Pride identifies the PLR-4955 as an FDA Class II Medical Device designed to aid individuals with mobility impairments. Customers should still choose equipment based on their individual needs and professional guidance where appropriate.

The Ultra is designed to look like upscale residential furniture rather than institutional equipment. Its padding, tailoring and concealed convenience features help it blend into a living room, bedroom or family room.

Fabric and upholstery availability can vary by size. Pride currently shows Capriccio fabric selections and additional upholstery options including Sorrento leather and Trento fabric on applicable sizes.

Capriccio choices listed by Pride include Cappuccino, Dove, Slate and Smoke. These neutral tones are intended to coordinate with a wide range of home interiors.

Sorrento Coffee is shown by Pride as a leather option on selected Ultra configurations. Customers interested in a specific upholstery should confirm current size, color and availability before ordering.

Trento Brown and Trento Charcoal are also listed for applicable Medium and Large Ultra models. Availability can change, so current ordering information should be verified at the time of purchase.

Proper sizing is one of the most important parts of buying a lift recliner. A chair that is too deep can leave the user’s feet unsupported when sitting upright, while a chair that is too shallow may not support the thighs comfortably.

Seat-to-floor height matters when standing and sitting. Ideally, the user should be able to place the feet securely while seated and use the lift mechanism without feeling that the chair is excessively high or low.

Seat width should allow comfortable clearance without making the chair so wide that the armrests are difficult to use for positioning and support.

Back height and headrest placement are equally important. Taller users typically benefit from the Large/Tall configuration because the longer back and higher chair dimensions provide support in the correct areas.

Before buying, it is wise to consider where the chair will be placed, where the electrical outlet is located, how much room is available behind the recliner and whether there is sufficient open space in front for the footrest.

Local delivery and set-up can make the purchase easier because a power lift recliner is a large piece of equipment. Proper placement, connection and a basic demonstration help the customer begin using the chair with confidence.

At Electropedic, customers can call to discuss new, used, rental, ownership and financing possibilities for mobility and home-care equipment. Availability and program terms should be confirmed at the time of inquiry.

For customers comparing a standard recliner with the VivaLift! Ultra, the key difference is powered adjustability. The PLR-4955 is intended for people who value independent positioning and personalized support rather than a simple lean-back mechanism.

For customers comparing the Ultra with a basic lift chair, the key difference is the number of comfort systems included: Tilt, power headrest, power lumbar, independent back and foot positioning, heat, massage and integrated conveniences.

The PLR-4955 can be a particularly attractive choice for a user who wants one chair for sitting upright, elevating the legs, reading, relaxing, watching television and receiving powered assistance when standing.

Because the chair offers many possible positions, a showroom demonstration can be useful. Trying the controls and comparing the Small, Medium and Large/Tall sizes helps a customer understand which configuration fits best.

Caregivers and family members may also appreciate learning the chair controls. Knowing how to return the recliner to a comfortable seated or lifted position can be useful when assisting a loved one.

The chair should be used according to Pride Mobility’s owner instructions, including safe placement, proper electrical connection and attention to the area around the moving base, footrest and lift mechanism.

Product specifications, fabrics, accessories and availability may change. For final purchasing decisions, use the latest Pride Mobility specifications and confirm the exact model configuration being ordered.
