Why choose an electric lift chair?

A chair should adapt to you—not the other way around. With smooth electric height adjustment, you can easily switch between different seating positions, work at multiple table heights, or get the extra support you need when standing up. Designed for both comfort and stability, an electric lift chair reduces strain on your body, promotes better posture, and makes everyday tasks easier—whether you’re working, relaxing, or transitioning between movements.

Unlike a standard office lift chair, the VELA chair with electric lift is built for more than just occasional height adjustments—it is a precision-engineered mobility solution. While typical lift chairs offer limited adjustability and stability, the VELA chair provides effortless electric height adjustment, a secure braking system, and personalised ergonomic support. It is designed for long-term comfort, independence, and safety—making it a true investment in your daily well-being.
