Dedicated support from our U.S. team

The 9205 EWT500 brings the same plush build — deep grid-tufted back, thick bolster arms, three-panel seat — in a taller frame with a longer seat and extended footrest, so taller users are supported from head to heel. Rated to 500 lbs and sized for roughly 6' to 6'5".

Triple-Motor System. Two 400 lb motors drive the footrest and the lift together — 800 lbs of combined force, far beyond the 500 lb capacity, so the motors never work at their limit. Twin lift rods carry that load on both sides of the frame rather than through a single point. A third motor powers the backrest independently, so you can set the back and the footrest separately.

Engineered for heavier daily use:

  • 45-density high-resilience foam — an all-foam build specified for the 500 lb models, chosen for how it holds its shape under heavier weight over years of use.
  • Upgraded hardwood frame — redesigned for greater structural stability and a longer service life.
  • Reinforced steel frame — rebuilt for heavy-duty daily use.
  • 66% thicker footrest steel plate — up from 3 mm to 5 mm (0.12" to 0.2") vs. the 1st generation, for significantly greater footrest stability under heavier legs. Extended, it now sits about 2" (5 cm) higher than the 1st generation.
  • 20,000-cycle tested — the lift mechanism is tested to 20,000 full operations.

Reclines to 165°. At 500 lb capacity, 165° is the recline this chair is engineered to hold — deep enough to stretch out fully, with your back and legs supported at every position in between. The frame and mechanism are built to keep holding it that way for years.

Lumbar heat and back massage help ease muscle tension through the day, and the lift assist brings you smoothly and safely to standing.

Pairs Well With

Room to spare — even with company.

Will I actually fit?

Room to spare — even with company.

The 9205 EWT500 is our widest, tallest frame: 46" overall width, a deep seat, and a taller back that carries you from head to heel. Rated to 500 lb and sized for 6' to 6'7". If other “big” chairs still leave you perched on the edge, this is the one built for you.

“We looked at chairs at local stores — an exhausting process where most just didn't fit. This one did.”

Is 500 lb the real thing?

Triple-motor power — 800 lb of combined lift force.

A frame rebuilt for heavy-duty daily use.

Engineered, not just labeled

A frame rebuilt for heavy-duty daily use.

Two 400 lb motors drive the footrest and lift together — 800 lb of combined force, far beyond the 500 lb rating, so the motors never work at their limit. Twin lift rods carry that load on both sides of the frame, not through a single point. The footrest steel plate is 66% thicker than the first generation (3 mm to 5 mm), on an upgraded hardwood frame with 45-density high-resilience foam. The lift mechanism is tested to 20,000 full cycles — SGS certified.

That is what decides comfort over long stretches rather than the first ten minutes: at 500 lb an ordinary cushion compresses early, and you end up sitting on the frame instead of in the chair. A denser foam is the difference between hour one and hour four.

Getting up shouldn't be the hard part

A steady lift to your feet — carried on both sides.

The powered lift raises you smoothly toward standing, with the load shared across twin rods rather than a single point — steady even at 500 lb. It's the kind of help that matters most after surgery, with sore joints, or on the days standing up just takes more.

Man resting at the Irene House 9205 EWT500's engineered 165-degree recline, extended footrest supporting his legs from head to heel

Why 165°, not flat

Reclines to a deep, supported 165° — from head to heel.

The extended footrest supports your legs fully, even at a deep 165° recline. 165° is the recline this chair is engineered to hold at 500 lb — deep enough to stretch out completely, with the frame supporting you securely at every position in between, year after year.

Owners do rest — and sleep — in this chair rather than the bed. Within the 105°–165° range the backrest and footrest still set independently, so you can stop wherever your body wants and the extended footrest carries your legs to the heel rather than leaving them hanging.

Comfort that earns its place

Heat and massage, once you're properly supported.

Eight vibration massage nodes across the back, lumbar, thighs and legs — with three intensities and modes — plus targeted lumbar heat. With your body fully carried, longer stretches of rest come easier.

Two Irene House branded shipping boxes for the 9205 EWT500 — seat cushion and armrest carton plus backrest cardboard box

Getting it into your home

Two branded boxes, tool-free assembly.

The 9205 EWT500 ships in 2 boxes (Box 1: 43.3" × 19.7" × 34.6"; Box 2: 42.9" × 32.7" × 21.7") that may arrive on different days — don't worry if they don't come together. Each box fits through a standard doorway, and assembly is tool-free in a few simple steps. The boxes are heavy — we recommend two people to move them into place. Fully assembled it measures 47"H × 46"W × 44.5"D; leave about 22" of wall clearance to fully recline (25" for comfortable everyday use).

If it's not the right fit

Choosing a chair this size is a big decision, and we want it to be right for you. If something isn't working once it arrives, reach out — our team will help you sort it out.

Who is the 9205 EWT500 for?

Our heavy-duty flagship for big & tall users — built for 6' to 6'7" and up to 500 lb, with an extra-wide 46" frame, a reinforced steel structure, and a triple-motor system (two motors lift the footrest and seat together, a third sets the backrest independently).

How far does it recline?

It reclines to a deep, supportive 165° with the footrest fully extended — engineered for the 500 lb frame. It reclines to 165° rather than a fully flat 180°; that reinforced angle is what keeps it stable and long-lasting.

How is it delivered?

In 2 boxes that may arrive on different days — each fits through a standard door and assembly is tool-free. The boxes are heavy, so we recommend two people to move them into place. You're never doing this alone — reach out anytime and we'll help.

Customer photo review of 9205 EWT500 Extra-Wide/Tall Big Man Power Lift Recliner - Triple Motor, 500 LBS, Heat & Massage, Extended Footrest

I was so nervous about buying this recliner online—my living room is a bit of an awkward size, and I worried it’d either be too bulky to fit or too small to feel cozy. The customer service team was absolutely incredible from the start! They helped me double-check the dimensions, walked me through the space-saving features, and even sent me extra photos of the scale next to similar furniture to make sure I wouldn’t be disappointed. When it arrived, I was thrilled to see it fit perfectly in the corner by the window—just as they promised! The fabric is so soft and plush, and it’s become my go-to spot for morning coffee, weekend naps, and even late-night work sessions with my laptop on the side table. It’s exactly the size I needed: roomy enough to curl up in, but not so big that it overwhelms the room. I can’t recommend this chair (and the team behind it) enough!

Customer photo review of 9205 EWT500 Heavy Duty Extra Wide Power Lift Recliner – Triple Motor, 500 lbs, Heat & Massage

This chair is even more comfortable and spacious than I expected. The seat is wide and deep, giving me plenty of room to sit naturally without feeling cramped. The thick cushioning provides excellent support for my back, waist, arms, and legs, and the included pillows make it easy to adjust the support exactly where I need it. Despite its generous size, the chair feels cozy rather than bulky. It is perfect for relaxing, watching TV, reading, or taking a nap. The upholstery also feels soft and looks high quality. If you are looking for a large, roomy recliner that offers plenty of support and all-day comfort, this chair is an excellent choice.

Customer photo review of 9205L Big & Tall Power Lift Recliner – Extended Footrest, Dual Motor, Heat & Massage, 400 lbs

I am very happy with this chair. The overall quality is excellent, and it feels sturdy, well-made, and built to last. The upholstery feels soft and comfortable, while the padding provides great support without being too firm. I can sit or recline in it for a long time without feeling uncomfortable, and the backrest, seat, and leg rest support my body very well. One of the things I like most is the size. It is roomy enough to sit comfortably and stretch out, but it does not feel unnecessarily bulky or take up too much space in the room. The seat width and depth feel just right, and the extended footrest gives my legs plenty of support when I recline. The different sections can be adjusted to help me find a comfortable position whether I am sitting upright, watching TV, reading, or relaxing. The chair also operates smoothly, and the controls are easy to use. You can tell that a lot of thought went into both the comfort and construction. It looks great in my home and feels even better than I expected. Considering the quality, comfort, generous size, and useful features, I think it is well worth the price. I would definitely recommend this chair to anyone looking for a comfortable, spacious, and high-quality recliner.

Customer photo review of 9205 EWT500 Heavy Duty Extra Wide Power Lift Recliner – Triple Motor, 500 lbs, Heat & Massage

I really do love this chair. I love the ease of movement and it is so comfortable and plush definitely enough room and the massage is great. Everything is great. My only critique is that the foot rest extender you can’t get it put down while it’s reclined, unless you have really strong legs and can pull your knees up to your chin and then put it down with your heels which I don’t and can’t, but you can’t put it down while it’s not reclined either but other than that it’s an awesome Chair.

Customer photo review of 9205L Big & Tall Power Lift Recliner – Extended Footrest, Dual Motor, Heat & Massage, 400 lbs

The Lift Recliner Chair is just what my husband needed. It is well made for a larger person, and the lumbar support helps with his back that has three fractures. The upholstery is very soft and comfortable. The lift is great to get out of the chair with ease. This chair is so well made we know it will last forever! Well worth the investment! Also he likes the lumbar motion and heat element for his back.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable recliner.
