Product Description
The VivaLift!® Ultra PLR4955S Small Power Lift Recliner combines power lift assistance with advanced comfort and positioning features designed to help users relax, recline, and transition toward standing more easily.
Sized specifically for users approximately 5’4″ and below, the Small model features a comfortable 20-inch-wide by 18-inch-deep seat and supports up to 400 lbs. Its fully padded chaise design, Deluxe Biscuit Back, power-adjustable headrest, lumbar support, and footrest extension create a supportive seating environment for everyday relaxation.
Exclusive VivaLift!® Tilt adds another level of positioning beyond traditional reclining. The chair pivots from the rear, raising the front of the seat and allowing the knees to be positioned above heart level for a comfortable, weightless-style resting position. Combined with True-Infinite positioning, the backrest and footrest can move independently so users can create a wide range of customized seating and reclining positions.
For additional relaxation, the Ultra includes three heating zones in the shoulders, lumbar region, and seat, along with an advanced lower-back massage system offering three intensity settings. Convenient features such as wireless phone charging, a hideaway cup holder, USB charging, programmable positioning, and lithium battery backup make the Ultra a feature-rich choice for everyday comfort.

VivaLift!® Tilt
Exclusive VivaLift!® Tilt gives the Ultra an additional range of movement beyond conventional reclining.
Rather than moving only the backrest and footrest, the Ultra can pivot from the rear of the chair and raise the front of the seat. This allows the user’s knees to be elevated above heart level and creates a comfortable, weightless-style reclining position.
When combined with True-Infinite positioning, VivaLift! Tilt gives users additional flexibility to create comfortable positions for reading, watching television, resting, relaxing, or elevating the legs.
True-Infinite Positioning
The Ultra’s True-Infinite positioning system allows the backrest and footrest to move independently from one another.
Instead of being limited to a small number of preset reclining positions, users can adjust different areas of the chair separately to create a seating position that better matches their individual comfort preferences.
Users can sit more upright, elevate their legs, recline the backrest, or combine adjustments with VivaLift! Tilt to create a personalized resting position.
Heat and Massage System
The VivaLift! Ultra includes a three-zone heating system with heating pads positioned in the shoulder, lumbar, and seat areas.
Users can choose from three heat levels to customize the amount of warmth according to their comfort preferences.
An advanced massage system applies gentle pressure to the lower back and provides three massage intensity settings. Heat and massage controls are conveniently located on the inside of the chair’s armrest, keeping them within easy reach while seated.
Power Lift Assistance
The powered lift mechanism gently raises the recliner upward to help users transition from sitting toward standing.
This can provide useful assistance for individuals who have difficulty rising from a conventional chair. The powered movement helps keep the user supported as the chair gradually moves into an elevated position.
Power Headrest and Lumbar Support
An independently adjustable power headrest allows users to change the position of the head, neck, and shoulder area for personalized support.
The power lumbar system provides adjustable lower-back positioning, allowing the amount of lumbar support to be customized according to individual comfort preferences.
Combined with the adjustable backrest, legrest, and Tilt function, these powered features make it easier to create a comfortable position for different activities throughout the day.
Easy-to-Use Toggle Remote
The VivaLift! Ultra includes an ergonomically designed toggle hand control for straightforward adjustment of the chair.
The center toggle manages primary lift and recline movements, while dedicated controls allow the user to independently adjust functions including Tilt, lumbar support, headrest, backrest, and legrest.
The remote also includes one programmable memory position, allowing the user to save a favorite chair setting for quick access later.
A built-in USB charging port makes it possible to charge a compatible smart device while remaining comfortably seated.
Footrest Extension
A standard footrest extension provides additional support for the legs and feet when the recliner is extended.
The additional length allows users to stretch out more comfortably and works with the chair’s independently powered positioning system to create a more personalized resting position.
Wireless Charging and Cup Holder
The Ultra includes two convenient hideaway features built into the chair.
A wireless charging station can charge compatible smartphones without requiring a separate charging cable, while the hideaway cup holder keeps a beverage within easy reach.
Both features can be concealed when they are not being used, helping maintain the recliner’s clean appearance. Pride notes that the wireless charger is intended for compatible smartphones with wireless charging capability.
Lithium Battery Backup
A lithium battery backup helps keep the Ultra operational if normal household electrical power becomes unavailable.
This backup system provides additional peace of mind by helping users operate important recliner functions during a household power outage.

Medicare Coverage
HCPCS Code: E0627 – Electric Seat Lift Mechanism
The VivaLift!® Ultra PLR4955S contains an electrically operated seat-lift mechanism associated with HCPCS E0627. CMS identifies E0627 as the billing code for an electrically operated seat-lift mechanism.
When a seat-lift mechanism is incorporated into a complete chair, Medicare treatment of the components is different. The potentially covered DME component is the seat-lift mechanism, while the chair or furniture portion is separately treated as a non-covered component. Coverage requires the applicable Medicare medical-necessity and documentation criteria to be met.
Medicare Part B generally covers medically necessary DME when eligibility and coverage requirements are satisfied. After the Part B deductible, a beneficiary generally pays 20% of the Medicare-approved amount when the supplier accepts assignment. Actual coverage and out-of-pocket responsibility depend on medical necessity, documentation, eligibility, supplier participation, and Medicare’s final claim determination.
