Foot scanner

Lift chair

Golden Technologies introduces MaxiComfort, a new design in lift chair positioning technology and comfort that will come as a standard feature on Gulden's Relaxer lift chair and will be available as an upgrade on select models in the Comforter series. The MaxiComfort mechanism allows customers to position the chair in what is called an extended trandelenberg position, which allows users to raise their hips level with the armrests while in fully and slightly reclined positions. Elevating the hips maximizes comfort for users with lower back pain and swelling in their lower legs.
