In short: A lift recliner chair in Australia typically costs between about $1,395 and $5,500. Simple entry chairs start around $1,395, the popular mid-range chairs that suit most people sit between $2,295 and $3,195, and premium or made-to-measure chairs run from about $4,395 to $5,500. What you pay comes down to the number of motors, the range of sizes and materials, comfort features like heat and massage, and how tailored the chair is to your body. Funding through the NDIS, Support at Home or DVA can help. We give free, no-pressure quotes, and you are welcome to try before you buy at our Cheltenham showroom. Call 1300 225 203.
A few things drive the cost. The biggest is the number of motors: a single or dual motor chair reclines and lifts, while a five-motor chair adds independent leg, back and head movement, and often tilt-in-space for pressure relief. Beyond that, price reflects the range of sizes and materials, comfort extras like heat and massage, a phone charger, battery backup and smart controllers, and whether the chair is made to measure. A modular, tailored chair costs more because it is built around the person.
$1,395 to $1,795
Our entry chairs, like the Aspire Oregon and Idaho, keep things simple. They come as single or dual motor, in one size and two colours, so customisation is limited and there is no built-in phone charger. A sound, comfortable choice if you are an average build and want a reliable lift recliner without the extras.
$2,295 to $3,195
This is where the value is. The Aspire Signature comes as single or dual motor in small, medium and large, with three colours. The Aspire Raphael X5 is our pick for best value: five motors including tilt-in-space, sizes from petite to maxi, four colours and three materials, two backrest options, plus a phone charger, battery backup and smart controller. It suits a wide range of people and needs. For a higher weight capacity, the Aspire Montana is rated from 180 to 220 kg, and we cover it in our guide to equipment for larger or heavier people.
$4,395 to $5,500
At the top sit the Gabriel and Rembrandt, five-motor chairs that add heat and massage, in two sizes. The made-to-measure Configura Comfort (from around $5,000) is a modular, tilt-in-space chair that can be tailored to almost any body shape and adjusted over time as needs change. This is the chair for a difficult fit or complex needs, and it is an investment in comfort, support and peace of mind.
It is tempting to assume the most expensive chair is the best, but the right lift recliner is the one that fits the person, not the price tag. For many people the mid-range Raphael X5 is the sweet spot. For a difficult fit, the made-to-measure Configura is worth every dollar. And for a straightforward need, an entry chair does the job beautifully. That is exactly why we offer a free assessment and let you try the chairs before you buy, so you spend on what genuinely helps and not a feature you will never use.
In many cases, yes. A lift recliner can be funded as assistive technology through the NDIS, the Support at Home AT-HM scheme or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, usually with an occupational therapist assessment. See our mobility equipment funding guide for how each option works, and we can provide compliant quotes.
