Top Grain Leather. Upholstered in premium mid-weight top grain leather — supple to the touch, breathable, and built to last through years of daily use.
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°. That is a deliberate engineering decision at this capacity. A full 180° flat position under 500 lbs puts lasting strain on the mechanism, and the deeper the recline, the less securely the body is held. At 165° the chair stays stable, supports you through the whole range, and keeps the mechanism working the way it should 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
More room. More support.
No need to feel like you're asking too much from a chair — the 9205 EWT500 is built for bigger, taller bodies, up to 500 lb and 6'7".
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.
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.

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.
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. We stop at 165° on purpose: a full 180° flat position under 500 lb puts lasting strain on the mechanism, and the deeper the recline, the less securely the body is held. At 165° the chair stays stable and supports you through the whole range — for years.
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.
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.
