VivaLift! Metro 2 PLR-925

The VivaLift!® Metro 2 PLR-925M is a true-infinite Pride® lift recliner with a cleaner, more compact footprint, a power headrest, power lumbar, and a footrest extension. Pride publishes a 400-pound weight capacity, a 21-inch seat width and depth, and a 19-inch seat-to-floor height. In the showroom, this is a good chair to try when you want VivaLift! positioning without stepping up to the Radiance, Ultra, or Premier feature packages.

Pride currently lists this model as the Medium only (PLR-925M). The published height guide on Pride’s specification page is 5'3" and below, which does not always match what people expect from the word “Medium,” so we treat that as a reason to measure, not as a label to take at face value. If you need a clearly smaller or taller size, we will look at the Tranquil 2 or Radiance instead of stretching this chair to fit.

Comfort and everyday use

The Metro 2 uses Pride’s Total Comfort seating and a fully padded chaise. An ergonomic toggle remote includes two programmable memory buttons, and a lithium battery backup is standard. Super-soft Saville Grey or Saville Brown fabric is what Pride currently publishes for this chair, and that softer upholstery is often what people comment on first when they sit down. There is no hideaway charging tray or built-in cup holder on this model the way there is on the Radiance, Ultra, or Premier, which is part of why the overall width stays a relatively compact 33 inches.

• True-infinite positioning with a power headrest, power lumbar, and footrest extension
• Toggle remote with two memory buttons
• Lithium battery backup
• Total Comfort seating and a fully padded chaise
• Saville Grey or Saville Brown fabric, as currently published by Pride
• A narrower overall width than most other VivaLift! chairs we list

Positions and technology

The backrest and footrest can move independently, and Pride notes that the footrest can be raised above the heart. The power headrest is there to support the head, neck, and shoulders, and the power lumbar lets you adjust the lower back without adding pillows. Two memory buttons can store favorite positions. This chair does not include VivaLift!® Tilt, heat, or massage. If those are the features you will use every day, sit in the Ultra or Radiance. If you want a similar true-infinite Medium with pocketed coils, USB-A and USB-C ports, and a slightly different height guide, compare it with the Elegance 2.

Sizes, fabrics, and who it is for

We list a single Pride model, PLR-925M. Published dimensions are a 21-by-21-inch seat, a 19-inch seat-to-floor height, 14 inches from the wall, and a 33-inch overall width, with a 41-inch chair height. Pride’s published height range is 5'3" and below; because that guide can surprise people who expected a typical medium-height chair, we will have you sit, check arm height and foot support, and only then decide whether this Metro 2 is the right VivaLift! for your house. A short showroom visit is the surest way to know.
