9188T Tall Man Power Lift Recliner – Dual Motor, Lay Flat, Heat & Massage

The 9188T is built for one thing: height. Not width, not weight — length. If recliners keep stopping too soon behind your neck, and your calves hang off the end of the footrest, this is the one that was designed around you.

Taller owners usually notice the problem before they know the measurement: their head sits above the backrest, or their heels never quite make it onto the footrest.

The folding extended footrest. We introduced our folding extended footrest design in 2023. Since then, similar extended-footrest concepts have become increasingly common across the category. It solves two problems at once that most designs solve separately: it extends far enough to carry long legs all the way to the heel, and it sits higher when open, so your legs are supported rather than left dangling. A longer footrest also means a longer lever arm — so we rebuilt the footrest structure itself to carry that load. We did not simply make the pad longer.

A three-layer backrest. The top layer supports the neck, which is exactly where most backrests stop too soon for a taller person. The middle section is deliberately softer, so your back settles into it instead of being pushed forward. The result is support that feels more natural along the back.

Tall support without the heavy-duty feel. Heavy-duty recliners are usually firm to the point of being hard. The 9188T is tuned closer to a standard-size recliner — a medium-soft cushion you can settle into — over a frame rated to 350 lbs.

Comfort designed for long sitting. Staying comfortable for a long stretch is a different problem from staying comfortable for a few minutes, and it is the one taller owners write to us about. Tall owners often tell us they spend long stretches reading, watching TV, resting, or even falling asleep in the chair.

Stronger actuators, because a longer footrest demands them. An extended footrest needs meaningfully more thrust than a standard one. We use TiMOTION actuators — the same class of linear actuator used in medical adjustable beds — selected for the higher load and travel demands of the extended-footrest design.

Second-Generation Upgrade — built from owner feedback.

• Four side pockets — two on each side, positioned higher so the remote and your essentials stay within reach without bending down, even while reclined.
• 18 W fast-charge USB-A and USB-C — a proper charging pair, not an afterthought.

Lumbar heat and 4-mode back massage, infinite positions including a full 180° lay-flat, and lift assist that helps make the transition to standing easier and more controlled.
