How to choose a lift chair

Choose the Right Lift Recliner for Your Comfort and Needs

1. Weight Capacity

A key factor to consider. Choose according to the user's body weight:

• Standard (300–350 lbs) – Fits most users
• Heavy-Duty (350–500 lbs) – For larger individuals or those needing extra support

Recommended Models:

• Model  9188(Medium)/9188T(Tall) – 300 lbs capacity, standard size
• Model  9188E(Large-Wide)/9205(Large-Wide) - 400 lbs capacity, large man
• Model EW500 – 500 lbs capacity, reinforced frame, wider seat

Recommendation: Choose a model slightly above your actual weight. For example, opt for a 500-lb capacity chair if you weigh 450 lbs to ensure durability and reduce wear on mechanical components.

2. Height Compatibility

Seat Depth & Backrest Height:

• Small: Seat depth 18–20 inches; standard backrest height.
