Vivalift! Ultra PLR-4955L
The VivaLift! Ultra (PLR-4955) is a true-infinite position lift chair recliner with built-in heat and massage features, plus convenience touches like a wireless charging station and a hideaway cup holder. It is offered in Small, Medium, and Large/Tall sizing, with a 400 lb weight capacity across all sizes.
Why We Recommend VivaLift! Ultra (PLR-4955)
If you want a lift chair recliner that combines true-infinite positioning with a tilt feature and integrated heat and massage, the Ultra is a straightforward pick. It also solves day-to-day usability details, like keeping a phone charged and a drink within reach, without adding complicated setup.
True-Infinite Positioning With Tilt Control
- True-infinite position for independent back and leg adjustment
- Supports a wide range of recline and lift positions
- Designed for users who want more than 2-position or 3-position movement
The PLR-4955 is listed by Pride as a true-infinite position model, which is typically chosen when you want more control over how the backrest and footrest move, instead of being limited to a few fixed positions.
Integrated Heat System
- Heat feature is part of the chair’s configuration
- Connects through the chair’s harness system (as equipped)
- Intended for time-limited use per the owner’s manual guidance
This model is part of Pride’s heat-and-massage lineup and uses the chair’s integrated wiring and connections for operation. Follow the manufacturer’s operating guidance for safe use.
Integrated Massage System
- Massage feature is part of the chair’s configuration
- Connects through the chair’s harness system (as equipped)
- Designed for practical, at-home seated use
The massage components are factory-integrated and connect through the chair’s harness system. The manual notes that if additional assembly appears required beyond harness connections, you should contact an authorized provider.
Everyday Convenience Features
- Wireless charging station (phone must support wireless charging)
- Hideaway cup holder
- Delivered in size options to better match the user
Pride notes the wireless charger is only compatible with smartphones that support wireless charging, and it should not be used with other smart devices like smart watches.
Sizing Guidance (Small, Medium, Large/Tall)
- Small: height range 5'4" and below
- Medium: height range 5'5" to 6'1"
- Large/Tall: height range 5'10" and above
Pride’s height ranges are a guide and should be used alongside seat-to-floor height, seat depth, and seat width to pick the correct fit.
Who This Lift Chair Recliner Is Best For
- Users who want true-infinite positioning (not 2-position or 3-position)
- Shoppers who specifically want a lift chair recliner with heat and massage included
- Households that want built-in device charging and a cup holder without add-ons
- Users who need a 400 lb weight capacity option
What to Expect When It Arrives
- Plan placement near a standard electrical outlet
- Do not use an extension cord, plug directly into the outlet
- Allow space behind the chair for operation, Pride’s manual suggests starting around 30 inches in the seated position, but clearance varies by model
- Basic setup involves connecting the hand control and any heat and massage harnesses (if equipped) as shown in the owner’s manual
Pride’s owner guidance emphasizes safe placement, keeping cables clear of pinch points, and plugging the power cord directly into a wall outlet.

Shipping
Free shipping to the 48 contiguous United States. Full-size and heavy-duty scooters ship via LTL freight carrier; compact and folding models typically ship via FedEx or UPS. Most in-stock orders leave the warehouse within 2–5 business days, with delivery 5–10 business days after shipment. Additional charges apply for shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and remote or rural areas — we’ll contact you before processing if extra fees apply.
Freight Delivery
Freight carriers deliver curbside to your driveway or front entrance. The carrier will call you to schedule a delivery appointment window. Please make sure a standard freight truck can safely access your address; if it can’t, you may need to meet the driver at a nearby accessible location. An adult 18 or older must be present to sign for the shipment.
Inspecting Your Delivery
Inspect the packaging carefully before signing the delivery receipt. The driver is not required to wait while you unbox the scooter.
- If the packaging looks clean and undamaged, sign and accept the delivery.
- If you see any holes, dents, tears, or crushed corners, note the damage on the delivery receipt before signing, then accept the delivery and contact us.
- If the packaging is severely damaged, refuse the shipment as “Damaged in Transit,” have the driver note it on the BOL, and call us immediately.
Concealed Damage
If your scooter is damaged but the packaging looked fine at delivery, contact us within 72 hours of arrival so we can file a carrier claim and get you a fast resolution. Claims filed after 72 hours cannot be honored by the freight carrier.
Returns
We want you to be fully satisfied with your scooter. If you need to return a non-defective unit, returns must be requested within 30 days of delivery and meet all of the following:
- The scooter must be unused, in new/resalable condition, and in its original packaging with all manuals, chargers, keys, and accessories included.
- You must request a Return Authorization (RA) number from us before shipping anything back. Returns without an RA will be refused.
- A 20% restocking fee applies to all non-defective returns.
- The customer is responsible for return shipping costs. We recommend using a tracked, insured freight service — we can’t issue a refund on a scooter that’s lost or damaged in transit back to us.
Once we receive and inspect your return, we’ll refund the purchase price minus the 20% restocking fee and any deductions for missing accessories or damage.
Damaged, Defective, or Wrong Items
If your scooter arrives damaged, defective, or we shipped the wrong item, that’s on us — contact us within 72 hours and we’ll cover replacement parts, a repair, or a prepaid return label at no cost to you. No restocking fee applies.
Non-Returnable Items
- Used or operated scooters
- Custom-configured orders (custom seating, upgraded tires, color changes, etc.)
- Batteries sold separately from a scooter
- Opened consumables and personal-use accessories
Order Cancellations
Orders can be canceled at no charge before they leave the warehouse. Once the scooter has shipped, our standard return policy applies.
