Meet the Irene House 9188 Pro — our upgraded 9188 Power Lift Recliner — and start with the biggest change: our new, self-developed All-in-One hand control. Lift, recline, tilt the headrest, run the heat and massage, and save two favorite positions to memory — every function on one simple remote. No more juggling two controllers.
A triple-motor system drives the backrest, footrest and headrest on separate controls — true infinite-position adjustment. Stop anywhere you like, from sitting upright all the way to a fully flat 180° for real, level rest.
Best of all, this generation was shaped by the people who use it most — the many owners who spend their evenings, and their nights, sleeping in the chair. Listening to them, we redesigned the seat cushion and backrest for those long hours of sitting and sleeping, so the comfort truly lasts. The everyday details got better too: raised side pockets you can reach without leaning over, and USB-A + USB-C (18W) fast charging in the arm. Rated to 350 lb, sized for 5'2"–5'9", with lumbar heat and full-body vibration massage.
Pairs Well With
A Chair Made for More Than Sitting
Morning coffee. An afternoon book. A movie after dinner. A nap that runs longer than planned. The 9188 Pro was designed around the many ways one chair becomes part of an ordinary day — sitting, reading, reclining, resting, and getting back up again. Designed around the little things you do every day. Many of the changes in this chair began with something an owner told us.

Why we redesigned the remote
One Remote. No Reading Required.
Owners told us the same things again and again: two controllers were a hassle, there were too many buttons, and the labels were hard to read. With one or two motors, you can get by. With three, a remote has to make sense without reading the small print.
So we designed our own. Motion controls sit together at the top. One circle handles lift, home, and your two memory positions. Heat and massage sit below. One remote, every function — understood by where things are, not by what they say.
“Less figuring out. More settling in.”
Independent adjustment · two memory positions
Find Your Position — and Come Back to It.
Your body doesn't stay in one position all day, so neither should your chair. Three motors move the backrest, footrest, and headrest independently: change one without giving up the position you already like in another — from upright all the way down to fully flat.
Found it? Press SET, then REC 1 or REC 2. Next time, one press brings you right back — no rebuilding it button by button.
“REC 1 — my reading position. REC 2 — my resting position.”
The chair you use the most should ask the least from you.
The best everyday improvements are small: a remote you don't have to search for, a position you don't have to recreate, a pocket you can reach without leaning forward, and a little help when it's time to stand.
Second-generation side pockets
Owners Asked. We Changed It.
Traditional side pockets sit low — fine when you're upright, harder to reach once you're reclined. Owners told us so. The second-generation design moves storage higher and adds two pockets on each side, so the remote and everyday things stay within reach from any position.
Right beside them: USB-A and USB-C ports (18W) to keep a phone or tablet charged without getting up.
“A small change, until you use it every day.”
Seat & backrest, refined over time
Designed for the Hours You Actually Spend in It
A chair can feel fine for ten minutes and very different after a few hours. For years we've listened to owners who sit — and sleep — in their chairs for long stretches, and we keep refining how the seat cushion and backrest hold you over time. The changes are small on paper. We think you'll feel them.
And if anything about the comfort could be better for your body, tell us. What owners share shapes the next chair — and helps the next person with a build like yours.
Your comfort range
From Upright to Fully Flat — 105° to 180°
Comfort, when you want a little more
Sit up to read. Lean back for the TV. Stretch out for a break. Lie fully flat — a true 180° — when rest turns into sleep. And when you want a little more: lumbar heat and vibration massage with 8 modes, all from the same remote.
Inside the chair
Comfort You Can See. Construction You Usually Can't.
A hardwood frame, high-resilience foam, lift actuators, and your choice of upholstery — Chenille or Top Grain Leather. Every color is built to the same standard; the fabric is the only thing that changes.
Before You Order
Delivery & assembly
Pre-order: orders ship within 3–5 days.
The 9188 Pro ships in 2 boxes. They're heavy — we recommend two people to move them into place.
Color in your home
The same upholstery can look different in daylight, under warm lamps, and in cool light. Top grain leather carries natural grain variation, and every screen shows color a little differently. If a particular shade matters to you, ask us before you order.
A Little More Independence in the Moments That Make Up a Day
A lift chair can't replace family, and it shouldn't try to. But when sitting down, finding a comfortable position, keeping everyday things within reach, and standing up again become a little easier, daily life can feel a little more like your own.
And for family, reassurance is sometimes simply knowing that a few more everyday moments have been made easier.
Medium-size users about 5'2"–5'9", rated to 350 lb. If you're taller or need more room, our Tall, Big & Tall, and Heavy Duty 500 lb chairs are built for that — see all lift chairs.
Does it lie fully flat?
Yes — a true 180° lay-flat position, with the backrest, footrest, and headrest each adjustable independently.
How do the memory positions work?
Adjust the chair to the position you like, press SET, then REC 1 or REC 2. Next time, press that button to return to it.
Chenille or Top Grain Leather?
Chenille is soft and textured; top grain leather is smooth, supple, and easy to wipe clean. Same frame, motors, and comfort — choose by feel and look.

Very easy to assemble and understand functions. The ability of the chair to rise up makes it so easy to stand without putting any pressure on my knees is awesome.

Not only does it function well, it looks beautiful in my living room too! I sleep here several times a week when the bed just won’t support my back and hips comfortably.

I had major back surgery several years ago, and the 9188 chair offers the perfect lumbar support for me.

This chair has provided an actual lifestyle adjustment for the better for my Mom. She nodded off so often in it that she made the decision to sleep there rather than the bed. It was so much more comfortable!

I am having hip surgery in 3 days and needed a recliner that tilts and can be used as a bed to sleep in that’s not too wide in my Independent Senior Living unit.

I had two consecutive back surgeries. I still cannot sit in bed. Someone recommended for me to buy a recliner. I bought the medium size (most recliners are huge) and it fits me perfectly.

I gave this chair to my dad as a gift and both my parents love it. My mom thinks that it is beautiful, that the color is a lovely shade of brown and that it fits in very well with their decor.

She loves this chair! Fabric is comfy and the chair doesn't dominate the space. Fits her perfectly and she can operate the remote herself!

This chair is exactly what we had in mind when buying one for our Aunt. She wanted a medium size chair which fits her frame, not one that was overly bulky.

The chair is amazing. My husband needs a hip replacement and has been struggling to get up from his old chair. With the new recliner he easily gets up with no pain.

This chair is more comfortable and beautiful than I expected! It was very easy to assemble and set up, I managed it myself using a tarp to move it into location.
My Mom’s new house has a small living room & she didn’t want the usual enormous recliner taking over the room, so the small lift chair size is absolutely perfect. Delivery date was as promised & since my husband reports that the assembly was a breeze, he had it all ready for her on move-in day. She is thrilled to have it & had a very short learning curve learning to operate all the functions. The chenille upholstery is beautiful & so soft & comfortable!
Okay so I was a little nervous buying recliners without seeing them in person, but WOW am I glad I took the chance. The creamy white fabric is so clean and soft, I honestly had to double-check that they were used.
Sat down in one for the first time and literally did not get up for two hours. The back support is chef's kiss — hits perfectly at the neck, shoulders, and lower back. Hit the button, footrest glides out, and you are DONE. Couch potato mode: activated. 😂
They look so good in my study too — the warm wood floors, the bookshelves in the background, and these two fluffy white chairs? It's giving cozy reading nook energy and I am here for it.
Seller was super easy to deal with, packed them really well, and they arrived quicker than expected. Honestly for what I paid, this felt like stealing lol.
10/10 would recommend to anyone who loves their comfort. 🙌
Easy to assemble.
Easy to move around.
Like the color.
Very comfortable.
Pillow colors blend with (or match) the colors of the other furnature and drapes in the room. (How did you know that information?)
Recliner arrived and was assembled by some friends with minimum effort. It operated great with movements, heat and massage functions. There was one item that was not identified in the Owners manual or the Assembly guide and that is a small flat pad carped on one side and rubberized on the other that is about the size of the seat. I would like to know what that item is?
I've slept so much better in this chair, I need surgery and will be living in it for at least 2 months. This is really helping me sleep, and post op to get up.
I’m having a total knee replacement on Oct 8th. I needed a recliner that actually laid flat so I could put my “toes above my nose” with an angled sponge. This chair fits the bill perfectly plus it helps by lifting you into a more of a standing position if needed. I’m 5’11” and weight 280. I got the 9188E and it’s perfect. Super smooth and quiet functions. Heat and massage are a nice touch as well. Customer service is top notch as they responded very quickly. Shipping was like 3 days to my door (WV shipped from NJ warehouse) and set up was less than 10 minutes complete.
Love the chair, bought it for my mom who has a bad back - she said it's the first time she was able to sleep in weeks - I want to buy her one for her home but she won't be able to assemble it.
I love this chair. I bought it for my wife who is in assisted living.Un packing two cartons was completed in minutes. Assembly no tools were needed. The assembly instructions were excellent. The recliner was assembled in fifteen minutes. This recliner is not a bulky overstuffed recliner. It was an excellent choice to select this chair.
I'm having back surgery soon and this chair is a must-have for me. 10x more comfortable than my other recliner. I'm 6'5" & 250 lbs and fit comfortably on the ET version. My head rests on the headrest (goes past most others) and my feet don't hang off the footrest because of the extension piece.
Nice size for my elderly mother. Lift is slow but im sure its safer that way. Easy to assemble. Came in two boxes. Nice looking chair. Seems comfortable.
I love the feel of the chair. Love the quiet motor and message. It’s so easy to get out of especially with my arthritic knees. The included pillows help with my lower back. I’m so glad I invested money into a chair that helps me. Thank you for the great customer support!
Looks great, works great, and feels very comfortable. Assembly was easy too. All in all it’s exactly what I wanted and I’m very satisfied with this purchase.
Customer service was very helpful selecting the right chair for my husband and informative about the parts and motor. Shipping was fast with a couple days.
Putting it together we needed extra set of hands as it was a bit heavy.
Everything works well. Only con is my husband feels the extension on the foot rest could be a wee bit higher while it’s extended.
Over all a great chair thus far.
This is my second Irene House Purchase. I bought a recliner for my husband about one year ago. When it came time for me to get another one for myself, there was no doubt that I wanted one from Irene House. The quality and craftsmanship are superb. Also, their customer service is personal and prompt. Highly recommend this company.
Very comfortable, perfect size and support; plus, we were a bit apprehensive about the faux leather being too hot but it isn't. These chairs seem to be well built and sturdy.
