Meet the Irene House 9188E Pro — the oversized 9188E, upgraded. Start with the biggest change: our self-developed All-in-One hand control. Lift, recline, tilt the headrest, run the heat and massage, and save two favorite positions to memory — all from one remote instead of two. Underneath, a third motor now drives the headrest independently, so you can change your neck angle without giving up the back angle or the leg height you had already settled into. Everything that made the 9188E fit stays the same: a 26" wide, 21.5" deep seat on a 38" frame, rated to 400 lb and sized for 5'5"–6'3", on a 5 mm steel plate — 66% more steel than the previous generation. Infinite positions from 105° to a fully flat 180°. Four-point vibration massage with dual-zone heating at the lumbar and seat. Four raised side pockets, plus USB-A and USB-C charging. 35-day risk-free trial. 2 years electronics · 3 years upholstery · 3 years mechanism · 3 years frame.
Pairs Well With
More room where it matters — now with one remote.
Most lift chairs are built around a 300 lb, 5'9" body. The 9188E Pro isn't: a 26" seat on a 38" frame, rated to 400 lb. What's new sits above the armrest — three motors instead of two, and a single remote instead of a pair.
Will I actually fit?
A wider seat with room to spare.
The 9188E Pro gives you a 26" wide, 21.5" deep seat on a 38" frame, rated to 400 lb and sized for 5'5"–6'3". If regular chairs pinch at the hips, this is the one sized for you.
“Comfy, yet supportive. Money well spent.”
What the Pro changes
One remote. Not two.
The 9188E ships with two controllers — one for the chair, one for heat and massage. Owners told us what that means day to day: the one you need is the one you're not holding, and neither is easy to read once you're reclined.
The Pro replaces both with a single remote. Motion controls sit at the top. One circle handles lift, home, and two memory positions. Heat and massage each get their own row below. You learn it by where the buttons are, not by reading what they say.
Independent adjustment · REC 1 / REC 2
Three motors. Two positions you can save.
The 9188E moves the backrest and footrest independently. The Pro adds a third motor for the headrest — tilt your neck without giving up the back angle or the leg height you had already settled into.
Once a position works, press SET, then REC 1 or REC 2. Next time one press brings it back, instead of rebuilding it button by button.
5 mm steel where the weight lands — 66% thicker than the last generation.
A 400 lb rating is easy to print and hard to build. Under the 9188E Pro, the steel plate is thickened to 5 mm — 66% more steel than the previous generation — on a tubular-steel lift base, with two motors driving the backrest and footrest independently through infinite stops from 105° to 180°.
So the extra room doesn't come with a compromise underneath it.
“It is built well and sturdy.”

Getting up shouldn't be the hard part
Tested 20,000 times under 400 lb — before it ever lifts you.
The lift is driven by TiMotion actuators — an industry-recognized high-performance drive, and one of the most expensive components in this chair. The mechanism is cycle-tested 20,000 times under a 400 lb load.
We don't ask you to take “steady” on faith: the mechanism carries a 3-year written warranty, and owners put it plainly — “The lift function makes standing up pain-free.” · “Very quiet in operation.”
From upright to fully flat — a true 180°.
“She has been sleeping comfortably in this lift recliner for two years.” — Verified owner
Owners taught us this
Why this footrest sits 7 cm higher.
Heavier legs press a standard footrest down — owners at 400 and 500 lb told us so, year after year. So the 9188E Pro's footrest is raised 7 cm and built on the 5 mm steel plate, designed to counter the weight of bigger legs instead of sagging under them.
It's the kind of detail you only design when you actually listen to heavier owners.
Comfort that earns its place
Heat and massage, once you're supported.
Four-point vibration massage and dual-zone heating for the lumbar and seat, with an auto-off timer — on the same remote as everything else. Sitting well for hours is less about one perfect position than about being able to change it. Backrest, footrest and headrest move independently, so shifting your legs never costs you the back angle you had settled into.
Owners asked. We changed it.
Second generation, shaped by feedback.
The 2nd-generation 9188E Pro was built on real customer feedback: four side pockets, positioned higher so you can reach them while reclined, and USB-A + USB-C charging ports to keep your phone close.
Getting it into your home
The 9188E Pro ships in 3 boxes that may arrive on different days — don't worry if they don't come together. Assembly is tool-free: the pieces slide into place, and casters make it easy to position before it finds its permanent spot.
If it's not the right fit
35-day risk-free trial — if it isn't right once it arrives, contact our care team within 35 days of delivery. Coverage after that is written down, not implied: 2 years electronics · 3 years upholstery · 3 years mechanism · 3 years frame, with motors, remotes and covers replaceable individually — no whole-chair swap.
What's different between the 9188E and the 9188E Pro?
Same 400 lb frame, same 26" seat, same 105°–180° range. The Pro adds a third motor for the headrest and replaces the two controllers with a single remote that also stores two positions you can return to with one press.
Who is the 9188E Pro for?
Bigger-framed users about 5'5"–6'3", up to 400 lb, who want a wider (26") and deeper seat than a standard lift chair.
Does it lie fully flat?
Yes — infinite positions from 105° to a fully flat 180°, with the backrest and footrest controlled independently.
How is it delivered?
In 3 boxes that may arrive on different days. Assembly is tool-free — the pieces slide together in a few steps, and you can always call us if you'd like a hand.

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.
