It holds 400 lbs. and reclines to true infinite positions, with a power headrest, a power lumbar, an extended footrest, a two position memory remote and a lithium battery backup.
Sized for shorter users with a memory remote and a 19" seat height

Built for real life
What stands out
Toggle remote with two memory positions
One ergonomic toggle handles the lift and the recline, and two programmable buttons hold the positions you go back to most.
True-infinite positioning
The backrest and the footrest move independently, and the footrest raises above your heart.
Power headrest, power lumbar and extended footrest
The headrest lifts your head, neck and shoulders, the lumbar sets the support in your lower back, and the footrest extends so you can stretch out fully.
Lithium battery backup
The chair still lifts and reclines during a power cut, including raising you to standing.
Built around a shorter user
A 19" seat height, a 33" overall width and 14" from the wall. Pride publishes the height range for this chair as 5'3" and below.
Here is the Metro 2's job in one sentence: it is the VivaLift chair Pride sizes for a user 5'3" and under, and it is the least expensive chair in the range. Two numbers are what make it work for a shorter person. The seat sits 19" off the floor, lower than the Elegance 2 at 20" and the Premier at 20.5", and the seat is 21" wide, an inch wider than the Tranquil 2 Small. Seat height is what decides whether your feet reach the floor when you are sitting normally, so it matters more than the price does. What the Metro 2 does not have is heat or massage. If you want heat at this height, the Radiance Small is matched to 5'4" and below and adds it, and the Ultra Small adds heat and massage. Both cost more and both have a 20" seat rather than 21, so you would be trading an inch of seat width for the heat.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- stand 5'3" or under, which is the range Pride publishes for this chair
- weigh up to 400 lbs.
- want a memory remote that returns to a saved position
- have a tight room, because it is 33" wide and sits 14" from the wall
- want a lithium battery backup so the chair still lifts you during a power cut
Look elsewhere if you
- stand taller than 5'3", where the Elegance 2, the Ultra or the Premier will fit you better
- want heat or massage, where the Ultra and the Premier carry both
- weigh more than 400 lbs.
- need a seat wider than 21"
Specifications
The Metro 2 is built in one size. Check the user's height against the range, and check the distance from wall against the space you have.

| What is covered | How long |
|---|---|
| Lift and recline mechanisms, chair frame | Lifetime |

What is not covered
Fabric is not covered. Pride does not pay for labor, service calls, shipping, or other charges incurred to repair the chair unless Pride authorizes them in advance. Transportation costs, and any shipping damage that happens while parts are sent in for repair or replacement, are the purchaser's responsibility.
The warranty also does not cover circumstances beyond Pride's control, or repairs and modifications made to any part without Pride's consent. Damage is not covered when it comes from contamination, abuse, misuse, accident or negligence, battery fluid spillage or leakage, improper operation, maintenance or storage, or commercial use or use other than normal.
If something goes wrong
Call us first at 1-855-HIELINE. We file the claim with Pride Mobility for you and get the covered part sorted out rather than handing you a phone number. The base warranty covers parts, so ask us about service and labor options when you call.
Returns
Lift chairs cannot be returned. New or used, a lift chair is a personal medical device built and configured specifically for the person who ordered it. That is why every size and fabric figure is on this page, and why we answer questions before you place the order.
See our return policy for complete details.
Coverage at a glance
Common questions
One size, Medium. Pride publishes the height range for this chair as 5'3" and below. The seat is 21" wide and 21" deep and sits 19" off the floor, which is the lowest seat height of any VivaLift chair we carry. Measure the widest part of your hips against that 21" before you decide.
It is 33" wide overall, which is the narrowest chair in the VivaLift range, stands 41" high and needs 14" of clearance behind it. The chair weighs 142 lbs.
No. The Metro 2 has neither. At this height range the VivaLift Radiance Small is matched to 5'4" and below and adds heat, and the VivaLift Ultra Small adds heat and massage. We carry both, and both have a 20" seat rather than 21".
The chair keeps working. A lithium battery backup runs it through a power cut, including raising it to the standing position. The battery pack carries a 12 month warranty.
It is an ergonomic toggle that runs the lift, the recline, the power headrest and the power lumbar. It holds two programmable memory positions, so the position you use most is one press away, and it carries a USB charger port for a phone or a tablet.
Saville, a 100% polyester fabric, in Grey or Brown. Choose the one you want under Fabric above the price. The picture changes to the fabric you pick, and both cost the same.
No. A lift chair is built and configured for one person, so it cannot be returned once it ships, and a white glove delivery you have signed for is final. Check the size and the fabric before you order.
Yes. We offer CareCredit financing with plans from 6 to 60 months. Use the payment estimate near the price to see monthly options and prequalify with a soft credit check that does not affect your score.
Resources
See how this lift chair compares
Pick any other lift chair we carry and see a clear, side by side look at the specs that matter.
Select one.What does this mean?
This is the material the chair is upholstered in. It sets the color and the feel of every surface you touch.
Every covering offered on this chair costs the same. Pride prices a lift chair by model and by size, so choosing one covering over another does not change what you pay.
The square beside each name is a photograph of the material laid flat, so it shows you the color and the texture close up. Choose one and the pictures above change to this chair in that covering, which is the better way to judge it.
Pride builds some of these coverings in certain sizes only. If this chair comes in more than one size, settle the size first and then the covering.
A lift chair cannot be returned, so the covering is a final choice. Look through the full set of pictures before you order.
Accessories
Optional. Tap any add-on to include it in your order.What does this mean?
These are extras that fit onto the lift chair, and every one of them is optional. Adding them here means they arrive with it rather than as a separate order later.
Read each card before you add two of them. Some accessories mount in the same place, so only one of those can be fitted at a time.
Curbside is included. Step up if you want help getting it inside or fully set up.What does this mean?
This section is how your order reaches you and how far into your home it comes.
Curbside is the free option. The lift chair ships from the manufacturer straight to your address. Allow about two to three days for the order to be processed and shipped, then about five more in transit depending on where you live. No carrier in this trade quotes an exact date, so treat both figures as estimates rather than promises. It arrives boxed at the curb, and getting it inside is yours to arrange.
Inside delivery means we bring it just inside your front door or into the garage, still in its packaging.
White glove takes a different route. It does not come to your address first. It ships to the delivery technician nearest you, and once it arrives there the technician calls you and books a time that suits you, then brings it into your home, sets it up in the room you choose, checks it for shipping damage and takes all the packaging away. That extra leg adds a few days, and the date is settled between you and the technician, so we cannot give you one up front.
Which one you take is up to you. Some people are glad to unpack a new lift chair and set it up themselves. Others would rather it arrived working, in the room they want it, with the packaging gone. Both are good reasons, and each card shows what it costs.
