Inside:
- All seat springs used are 8 gauge Morley system no-sag springs that are tied together with tie wire to make every spring work together as a seat unit
- Seat springs are correctly spaced on the spring rails by a special clip rail machine
- Front seat rail on the frame is larger and thicker than most competitors' products, which makes the seat much stronger and durable

Foam:
- Acella-Flex foam, developed by Leggett & Platt, is the only foam Med-Lift uses - it offers the closest thing to a "perfect seating configuration" that is available in the industry
- Acella-Flex pushes back 1 pound for every pound of weight that is exerted on it, making the chairs sit the same for a 90 lb. person as for a 300 lb. person
- This foam will keep 99.9% of its original shape and size, whereas most conventional foam will shrink 10-15% in size over the first few years
- Special break-in process before the foam is ever cut makes the foam feel good from the first use on
- Super soft layer glued on top of the Acella-Flex gives a very nice feel to the seat, while allowing all the benefits of the Acella-Flex base for strength and long life
Lift base:
- Super Sag-less lift base (made in the USA) withstands constant use and abuse that a lift chair must endure
- The most stable base in the upright lifted position that is available in the marketplace today
- Okin super quiet low volt motor
Fabric:
- All fabrics used on any Med-Lift chair meet both CAL 117 and UFAC requirements for flammability
- Independent labs test Med-Lift fabric, foam, and fibers once a year to ensure that they meet correct specifications
