Lift Recliner Chairs in Brisbane
4-motor lift recliner chairs, delivered and installed free across Brisbane
The Sophie Embrace is a 4-motor electric lift recliner chair: head, back, legs and lift each move on their own independent motor, so you can raise your feet without lying back, or support your head while sitting upright. Sleep Sophie is rated 4.8 from 223 reviews on ProductReview.com.au and 4.6 from 90 Google reviews. Every chair we sell in Brisbane comes with free delivery and free professional installation — our own team brings it in, positions it where you want it, and demonstrates every function before they leave. Pricing starts From $5,245 – $6,150, all-inclusive.
Every Sophie Embrace lift recliner is backed by a 2-year comprehensive warranty — covering the chair you'll sit in every day, not just the parts nobody worries about.
The Embrace gently tilts forward to bring you smoothly to your feet — no pushing, no pulling, no strain on knees or hips — and it also reclines to a genuinely flat sleeping position, which most recliners simply can't do. It's rated to 250kg, with a frame built for daily lifting rather than occasional use, and the wired remote uses large, high-contrast buttons that need only a light press, so it works well for arthritic hands too.
How many motors do you need?
Most lift recliner chairs sold in Australia are 2-motor: the backrest and footrest move together in fixed combinations, which is fine for basic recline but limits how precisely you can position yourself. A 4-motor chair like the Sophie Embrace moves the head, back, legs and lift independently, so every position is actually yours rather than a preset combination. If you need to elevate your legs for circulation while keeping your back upright to read, or support your neck without reclining fully, that's a four-motor job — a dual-motor chair physically can't do it.
Weight capacity is the other question worth asking before you buy in Brisbane. Many lift chairs on the market stop at 110–150kg; the Embrace's four-motor lift mechanism is rated to 250kg, with a frame designed for the daily strain of lifting someone to their feet, not just holding a seated weight. If you're comparing chairs, ask the seller directly how many motors it has and what its lift weight rating is — the answers tend to separate a chair you'll love from one you'll tolerate.
Using NDIS or Support at Home funding in Brisbane
The Sophie Embrace is NDIS-approved assistive technology, so where an occupational therapist has assessed the need, it can be funded through an NDIS plan. Support at Home, which replaced Home Care Packages in November 2025, funds equipment separately from everyday care budgets through its Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) scheme — the high tier covers up to $15,390, which comfortably covers the chair. We prepare the quote and supporting paperwork, talk directly with your OT or plan manager, and can invoice the provider directly. DVA documentation is available on request. Read more on our NDIS funding and Support at Home funding pages.
Delivery across Brisbane
Free delivery and free professional installation cover the Brisbane CBD and inner suburbs, North Lakes and Caboolture, Ipswich, Logan, the Redlands, and the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast corridors — with the same free service extending to regional Queensland, not a scaled-back version of it. Our own installers carry the chair in, position it exactly where you want it, and demonstrate the lift, recline and flat-lying functions before they leave.
Coming home from a Brisbane hospital?
Many Brisbane families first call us while a parent or partner is still recovering at the RBWH, the Princess Alexandra, Greenslopes or the Mater, planning what needs to be ready at home before discharge. A lift recliner chair is frequently on the discharge checklist for people recovering from hip or knee surgery, or managing conditions that make standing from a low chair difficult and risky. Tell us the expected discharge date and we'll aim delivery, installation and the demonstration to land before it, and we work directly with hospital OTs on the clinical detail.
Brisbane's warm, humid climate also matters for anyone spending long hours seated: good airflow through the seat and a design that doesn't trap heat against the skin genuinely affect day-to-day comfort, especially through a subtropical summer. It's one more reason the Embrace's independent head, back, leg and lift motors matter — being able to fine-tune position throughout the day, rather than being locked into one fixed recline, keeps pressure moving and the sitter comfortable for longer.

Frequently asked questions
How much do lift recliner chairs cost in Brisbane?
The Sophie Embrace 4-motor lift recliner is From $5,245 – $6,150, including free delivery and free professional installation anywhere in Brisbane. Call 1300 9 SLEEP and we'll confirm the exact price and any funding that applies to your situation.
How is a 4-motor chair different from a 2-motor one?
With two motors, the backrest and footrest move together in fixed combinations. Four motors move the head, back, legs and lift independently, so you can raise your feet without lying back, or support your head while sitting upright — real control instead of a handful of presets.
Do you really deliver and install for free anywhere in Brisbane?
Yes — free delivery and free professional installation across the Brisbane CBD, North Lakes and Caboolture, Ipswich, Logan, the Redlands, and the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast corridors, with no surcharge for regional Queensland either.
Will NDIS or Support at Home cover a lift recliner chair in Queensland?
In most cases, yes. The Sophie Embrace is NDIS-approved assistive technology, and Support at Home funds equipment through its AT-HM scheme, with the high tier covering up to $15,390 — well above the chair's price. We prepare the quote and paperwork, deal directly with your OT or plan manager, and can invoice the provider directly. DVA documentation is available on request.
Can I arrange delivery around a Brisbane hospital discharge?
Yes. Many Brisbane families arrange this while a parent or partner is recovering at the RBWH, the Princess Alexandra, Greenslopes or the Mater after hip or knee surgery. Tell us the expected discharge date and we'll aim to have the chair delivered, installed and demonstrated before they're home.
What's the weight capacity of the Sophie Embrace?
250kg. Many lift chairs on the market stop at 110–150kg; the Embrace's four-motor lift mechanism and frame are built for the daily strain of lifting someone to their feet, not just holding a seated weight.
Can the chair lie completely flat?
Yes — unlike most recliners, the Embrace reclines to a true flat sleeping position, which makes it genuinely useful for an afternoon rest, not just an upright seat with a tilt.
Is it easy to use with limited strength or dexterity?
Yes. The wired remote uses large, high-contrast buttons that need only a light press, movements are slow and smooth, and the chair stops the instant you release the button — no grip strength or fine motor control required.
