Description
The Pride VivaLift Metro 2 is Pride Mobility's current medium power lift recliner with true-infinite positioning and a 21 by 21 inch seat. Westin Healthcare sells it and delivers it for homes in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. It is a Metro 2 PLR-925M, not a 3-position classic lift chair.
Pride's Metro 2 spec table rates the chair at 400 lbs (181 kg), 19 inches (48 cm) seat-to-floor, and 14 inches (36 cm) from the wall. Power headrest, power lumbar, an independent backrest, and a standard footrest extension are on the sheet. A lithium backup pack keeps the chair usable if household power fails.
Who this lift chair is for
This lift chair is for a person who stays at or under the 400 lb rating and wants a narrower infinite-position recliner that still has power lumbar and a power headrest. The overall width is 33 inches (84 cm). Pride's US height line for this Medium is 5'3" (160 cm) and below. Sit in it. Height guides are only a start.
If you want a 22 inch medium with a button back, see the Pride VivaLift Perfecta 2. If you need Small, Petite Wide, or Large/Tall, start with the Pride VivaLift Tranquil 2.
- Current Pride VivaLift, Medium only
- True-infinite positioning with a 14 inch wall gap
- Saville Grey, Saville Brown, and Saville Wine as Pride Canada still lists them
Positions and controls
The Pride VivaLift Metro 2 uses true-infinite positioning. The backrest and footrest move independently, including a Trendelenburg-like pose with the feet above the head. Pride's memory hand control stores two favourite positions and includes a USB port. There is no heat system and no hideaway wireless pad on this model.
The lithium backup is there so the lift still runs when the room loses power. The chair is not a substitute for a caregiver when the person cannot use a hand control.

Colour options
Use Choose Color for Saville Grey, Saville Brown, or Saville Wine. Pride Canada still lists those three. Pride's current US Metro 2 page shows Grey and Brown only. Ask us which colours we can invoice this week.
Metro 2 or Perfecta 2
Metro 2 is the 21 inch current VivaLift with a split back and a 14 inch wall gap. The Perfecta 2 is the 22 by 20 inch Merino button-back in the same price band. The Elegance 2 is the tailored Badlands chair with Medium and Large. A 3-position Pride Elegance such as the LC-450 does not have independent back and footrest motors.
Funding help for a lift chair in Ontario
Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) does not fund lift chairs, so plan around other routes. Funding that may help instead: March of Dimes Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), extended health plans, and community programs, and a lift chair's lift mechanism may qualify as a medical expense on a Canadian tax return when prescribed. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through before you buy.
Delivery and setup in Brampton and the GTA
Westin's own team delivers and sets up this lift chair across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. We bring it in, place it, and show you the hand control before we leave.
We have three stores in the Brampton and Toronto area if you would rather see a lift chair first. For a scheduled in-home setup, call (905) 451-7743 and we will book the next date that works. Same-day delivery is offered through our hospital bed rental service; purchased lift chairs are delivered and set up on a scheduled date.
A lift chair is larger than small parcel goods. The Canada-wide free ground-shipping offer on smaller goods does not apply. If the chair is going outside the GTA, ask us for a freight quote. Inside Toronto and the GTA, White-Glove Delivery (bring-in, unwrap, test, take packaging away) is described on the shipping policy. Any charge is confirmed on your order.

Service and warranty
When something on the chair needs work, you call the shop that set it up, not a US parts desk. Westin Healthcare has a service and repairs department. Our technicians come to the home or workplace.
Pride manufacturer warranty
Pride's Metro 2 sheet prints a 7-year pro-rated limited warranty for the original purchaser. Pride's lift-chair insert also keeps a lifetime term on the lift and scissor mechanism and the lift frame, and 12 months on the lithium backup pack. Fabric sits outside that term. Exceeding the 400 lb rating voids the Pride warranty. We handle the claim with you. Ask us if an extended warranty is offered for your order.
Frequently asked questions
What Size Lift Chair Do I Need?
The Pride VivaLift Metro 2 is Medium only, model PLR-925M, with a 21 by 21 inch seat. Pride's US table prints a height guide of 5'3" (160 cm) and below. Sit in the chair. If you need a larger or smaller Pride size, look at Tranquil 2.
How Far From the Wall Does a Lift Chair Need to Be?
The Pride VivaLift Metro 2 needs 14 inches (36 cm) from the wall, as printed on Pride's spec table. That is a tighter gap than Tranquil 2 Medium at 16 inches.
What Is the Difference Between a 3 Position and an Infinite Position Lift Chair?
A 3-position lift chair moves the back and footrest together. The Pride VivaLift Metro 2 is infinite: the backrest and footrest run on their own, including a Trendelenburg-like pose with the feet above the head.
Does ADP Cover Lift Chairs?
Funding for a lift chair in Ontario depends on the person's situation and assessment. Some programs help with mobility equipment. Call (905) 451-7743 or use the funding page before you buy.
Does a Lift Chair Work During a Power Outage?
The Pride VivaLift Metro 2 includes a lithium backup pack so the lift and recline can still run if household power fails. Pride warrants that pack for 12 months.
What Is the Weight Capacity of the Metro 2?
The Pride VivaLift Metro 2 is rated at 400 lbs (181 kg). Stay at or under that rating.
