A lift chair includes a lift mechanism that maintains a continuous seating position during forward and elevated movement by supporting the occupant's seat, arms and back. The mobile section of the chair will also lower the occupant to the normal seating height. The gel cushion seating surface is attached at least to the moveable section of the lift chair. The gel cushion seating surface of the chair has a plurality of gel cushion cylinders arranged in a grid that provide a rhythmically changing support area at multiple points on the occupant's buttocks and thighs. This provides a comforting massage which reduces stress on the body associated with prolonged seating.

An apparatus is provided for use with a movable section that is coupled to a structure for movement relative to the structure between a use position and a storage position. The apparatus comprises a first arm pivotally coupled to the movable section and a second arm pivotally coupled to the first arm. The apparatus further comprises a latch coupled to the movable section for pivoting movement between a latched position preventing movement of the movable section from the use position to the storage position and a released position allowing movement of the movable section from the use position to the storage position.
