WARRANTY AND SUPPORT

Who it is for
Sollevita is a single chair, designed to meet three different needs.
Complex mobility and daily care
For older or frail people, or people with conditions that make everyday movements such as standing up, resting, changing position and transferring more difficult. It is also designed for those who care for them every day.
High weight capacity for larger builds
Sollevita offers a 63 cm wide seat and, in the dedicated configuration, a weight capacity of up to 340 kg. More space, a structure sized for heavy loads and all the comfort of a premium riser recliner.
Premium comfort and independent use
For people who are independent and want the very best in comfort, build quality, adjustments and durability, without giving up a chair designed to stay with them over time.
Functions and positions
All the functions you need, in a single chair
Sollevita integrates functions designed to support the different moments of the day: sitting, relaxing, resting, standing up, receiving care and making some transfers easier.
Seated position
What it does: provides an ergonomic, well-proportioned seat with a high backrest, stable armrests and a Push Head powered headrest to adjust the support for the head and neck.
What it is for: reading, chatting, sitting at the table and spending time in a comfortable, stable position, ready for the next movement when it is time to stand up.
Relax function
What it does: lets you adjust the backrest, footrest, Push Head powered headrest and tilt-in-space, moving from the seated position to a more reclined, personalised position.
What it is for: it helps to support the legs, back, head and neck better and to find a more comfortable relax position at different times of the day.
Rise function
What it does: gradually raises the seat and guides the person towards a standing position. The same movement also makes sitting back down in the chair easier.
What it is for: making standing up and sitting down easier, with a gradual movement that can be controlled and stopped at any moment.
180° lie-flat position
What it does: brings Sollevita into a fully extended configuration, coordinating the backrest, seat and footrest.
What it is for: resting, taking a short nap or sleeping in the chair, when this suits the person’s habits and needs.
Zero Gravity function
What it does: raises the legs and feet above heart level, placing the body in the Zero Gravity configuration.
What it is for: this position promotes circulation in the lower limbs, offers a cardio-circulatory benefit linked to raising the legs and increases the feeling of lightness and comfort.
Note: Zero Gravity and tilt-in-space are two distinct functions. Tilt-in-space tilts the seat and backrest together while keeping the body supported; Zero Gravity, on the other hand, raises the legs and feet above heart level in a configuration dedicated to relaxation.
Vertical height adjustment and lie-flat transfer configuration
What it does: raises or lowers the whole chair while the person stays seated or lying down. In the 180° lie-flat position and with the side panel removed, it creates a flat surface that can be placed alongside the bed.
What it is for: making some transfers between bed and chair easier and bringing the person to a more convenient height for massage, grooming and trimming of beard and hair, dressing and other daily care activities.
A design without compromise
A premium design, conceived from the outset
Sollevita was not created by taking a standard chair and adding functions to it. Dimensions, weight capacity, seat, structure, movements and support were all conceived together from the outset, to offer superior comfort, independence and daily support.
Complete from the outset
Rise function, Push Head, Zero Gravity, 180° lie-flat position, vertical height adjustment, lie-flat transfer configuration, removable armrests, lithium battery and manually moved wheeled base are already integrated. Every element is designed to work together with the others, from comfort to daily support.
Proportioned to the person
Sollevita offers seat widths of 52 or 63 cm and three adjustable depths, set by positioning the backrest, to suit different heights and builds. The three weight-capacity configurations have from 5 to 8 independent motors, with a maximum user weight of up to 340 kg in the dedicated version.
Built to last
The three-layer seat construction with pocketed springs, the high backrest, the Push Head, fully removable outer and underlying covers and the removable modules combine comfort and practicality. Cleaning, transport, maintenance and replacement of components are simpler over time.
Support over time
Five-year warranty, original spare parts always available, support by video call and technical support. After delivery, the Sollevita Team remains your direct point of contact: no call centre, but people who know the product and look after every need.

Frequently asked questions
Getting to know Sollevita, from design to support
Sollevita combines advanced functions, build quality and the manufacturer’s experience. These answers help you understand its design, its value and the different ways it can support the person.
What makes Sollevita different from an ordinary riser recliner?
Sollevita was created as a riser recliner chair with integrated care features, in which mechanics, comfort and careful construction are designed together. Alongside resting and the rise function, it offers vertical height adjustment, tilt-in-space, the lie-flat transfer configuration and the Push Head powered headrest. The three-layer seat construction, the removable elements and the modular structure complete this integration. To understand its value, you need to look at how the whole responds to the person, not just compare upholstery and recline. The Product page presents every feature.
Who makes Sollevita and what experience lies behind the design?
Sollevita is made in Italy by La Castellana, a company in the province of Udine, active since 1969 and with more than 20,000 customers served in its history. The product design and styling were developed in collaboration with Gruppo Pragma. The manufacturer’s experience shows in its knowledge of mechanics, in the preparation of the seat and in the care taken over the workmanship. This continuity carries on in direct support and in the availability of spare parts.
Who is Sollevita for, besides people who need care?
Sollevita is for older people or people with reduced mobility, people with a larger build and independent people who want premium comfort. It is a single model with different possible uses: making some everyday movements more manageable, finding a seat proportioned to the body, or enjoying materials and adjustments for rest. The presence of care features does not define who chooses it: what matters are the activities, the preferences and the level of support actually needed.
How can a single model adapt to different builds?
Sollevita is prepared taking into account the person’s measurements, weight and way of using it. The seat is available in a width of 52 or 63 cm, with three depths obtained by positioning the backrest. Structure and motors are defined according to the weight capacity; the dedicated configuration reaches a maximum user weight of 340 kg. All functions remain available: what changes are the proportions and the load capacity, so that back, legs and arms find adequate support.
Why can Sollevita support different needs over time?
Sollevita was created from the outset with advanced functions already integrated into the same design. An independent person may choose it today mainly for comfort, build quality and adjustability; if mobility or daily needs change over time, other functions already present may become more important, such as the rise function, vertical height adjustment, the 180° lie-flat position, the lie-flat transfer configuration or side access. Nothing is added to the chair: what changes is the way its functions are used.
What does the price of the Sollevita riser recliner chair include?
The stated price of €5,900 (net price, VAT excluded. Professionals and facilities: VAT treatment according to country and tax status. Private customers: VAT of the destination country or reduced rate, if applicable.) reflects the combination of functions, build quality and support. Vertical height adjustment, the 180° lie-flat position, the lie-flat transfer configuration, tilt-in-space, Zero Gravity and the Push Head powered headrest come together with the three-layer seat construction with individually pocketed springs, the modular structure and the fully removable outer and underlying covers. Each chair is prepared according to the person’s needs, made in Italy and backed by a five-year warranty. A comparison with a standard or mid-to-high-end riser recliner cannot stop at recline: explore the product features and the construction and functional differences to understand its overall value.
Who helps me get to know and use Sollevita over time?
You are supported by the Sollevita Team, not an external call centre. With support by video call you can have the controls and adjustments explained to you, on your own or together with a family member or the person who cares for you. A five-year commercial warranty on every component, according to the purchase conditions, original spare parts always available and qualified technical staff ensure continuity in the relationship. On the Warranty & Service page you can find out how requests are handled, from getting to know the product to any work that is needed.
