If you want the best lift chair without reading through a hundred listings, start with the MCombo 7755 for the smoothest dual-motor lift and true lay-flat sleeping, the MCombo 7099 if you’re tall, and the Flamaker if the budget decides.

I spent over a decade selling and repairing recliners in a furniture store, and the single most common upgrade customers asked about was power: no more straining a shoulder to […]
A recliner squeaking when leaning back is almost never a sign of a broken frame; it usually means metal is rubbing on metal at one of a handful of dry pivot points under the chair. The fix is typically a small can of silicone spray applied to the right joint, and it takes about ten […]
