Dedicated support from our U.S. team

The 9205L is the big and tall version of the same plush build — deep grid-tufted back, thick bolster arms, three-panel seat. It is our widest 400 lb frame: a 27.5" wide seat on a 40.5" frame, with a longer seat and a taller back, so support runs all the way up instead of stopping at the shoulders — an oversized big and tall lift chair that is wide and tall, not one or the other. Rated to a 400 lb capacity, sized for roughly 5'7" to 6'6", and reclining to 83" end to end.

2nd Generation Upgrade. Redesigned around real customer 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.
  • USB-A and USB-C charging ports — charge your phone or tablet from the chair.
  • 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.

Dual-Motor System. The backrest and the footrest move independently, so you can hold any position between fully upright and a true 180° lay-flat — not just a handful of fixed presets. The lift function brings you smoothly and safely to standing.

Lumbar heat and 4-mode back massage help ease muscle tension through the day.

Pairs Well With

Some people want a chair that holds them firmly. Others want to sink in. The 9205 is built for the second kind — deep grid-tufted back, thick bolster arms, a three-panel seat. It is also the widest chair we build at 400 lb: a 27.5" wide seat on a 40.5" frame, with a 34.5" back. The 9205L takes that oversized platform and adds the length — a longer seat and a taller back, so support runs all the way up instead of stopping at the shoulders. A big and tall lift chair that is wide and tall, not one or the other. Rated to a 400 lb capacity, sized for about 5'7" to 6'6".

Is the 9205L the right fit for you?

Irene House 9205L dimensions — 400 lb capacity, for users 5'7" to 6'6", 40.5 inch overall width, 27.5 inch seat width, 83 inch reclined length, 105 to 180 degree recline

Built for big and tall — about 5'7" to 6'6", with a 400 lb weight capacity, on the widest 400 lb frame we make: a 27.5" wide seat, 40.5" overall. Measured from the factory drawing.

Why this one feels different

Cushioned from shoulders to knees.

The deep grid-tufted back keeps the padding in place instead of letting it flatten into a slab over time. Thick bolster arms sit high enough to rest your forearms without shrugging your shoulders up. The three-panel seat divides the cushion so it supports the thighs and the seat separately rather than sagging as one piece.

It's a fully-cushioned chair — the opposite of the firm, flat heavy-duty look.

That is what makes the difference at hour three rather than minute three.

For people who want to sink in.

Wide and tall — not one or the other

40.5 inches across. 83 inches flat.

Across our own 400 lb chairs you normally pick one. The 9188ET gives you length — 81" reclined — on a 38" frame. The 9205 gives you the wide 40.5" frame but stops at 77.5". The 9205L is the one big and tall lift recliner that does both: a 27.5" wide seat on a 40.5" frame, the widest we build at 400 lb, plus a taller back and a longer seat with an extended footrest — so your shoulders stay on the chair and your calves and heels are carried instead of hanging.

At a true 180° lay-flat it measures 83" end to end, the longest in our line — the number that decides whether stretching out actually works at 6'6".

For the owners who tell us they rest — or sleep — in the chair rather than the bed, that length is the difference between propping yourself up and actually stretching out.

The extended footrest, rebuilt

Longer — and thick enough to stay where it should.

A longer footrest is also a longer lever arm, so it has to carry more load. The footrest steel plate is 5 mm thick — 66% thicker than the first generation (up from 3 mm), and extended it now sits about 2" (5 cm) higher, because heavier legs push a standard footrest down under load.

We didn't simply make the pad longer.

Second generation — 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. USB-A and USB-C charging ports, so a phone or tablet charges from the chair.

Underneath: an upgraded hardwood frame redesigned for greater structural stability and a longer service life, over a reinforced steel frame rebuilt for heavy-duty daily use at the full 400 lb rating.

The two hand controls of the Irene House 9205L — backrest, footrest and lift buttons plus heat and massage controls, on brown leather

Two controls, each doing one job

Any position you want — not a preset.

The backrest and the footrest run on separate motors, each on its own button, so you can hold any position between fully upright and flat. The second control handles lumbar heat and 4-mode back massage to ease muscle tension through the day.

Getting up shouldn't be the hard part

A steady lift toward standing.

The lift base tilts the whole chair forward and brings you smoothly and safely toward your feet — controlled the whole way, steady at 400 lb. It's the help that matters most after surgery, with sore knees or hips, or on the days standing up just takes more.

Before you order

Delivery & assembly

The 9205L ships in 2 boxes that may arrive on different days — don't worry if they don't come together. Assembly is tool-free in a few simple steps, but the boxes are heavy: we recommend two people to move them into place.

Room to recline

Fully assembled it measures 46.5"H × 40.5"W, and reclines to 83" end to end. Leave clearance behind the chair to reach the full 180°.

Color in your home

The same upholstery can look different in daylight, under warm lamps, and in cool light — and every screen shows color a little differently. If a particular shade matters to you, ask us before you order.

If it's not the right fit

For returns, warranty coverage, replacement parts, delivery damage, or a missing box, see our Returns Policy and Warranty pages, or contact our U.S.-based team.

What's the difference between the 9205L and the 9205?

Same plush build, same 400 lb rating, and the same wide 27.5" seat on a 40.5" frame — the 9205L adds a taller back and a longer seat with an extended footrest, taking reclined length from 77.5" to 83" for users up to about 6'6". The 9205 is sized for about 5'7"–6'3".

How is it different from the 9188ET?

Both are 400 lb chairs with an extended footrest — the differences are size and feel. The 9205L is the wider, plusher big and tall recliner: a 27.5" seat on a 40.5" frame, deep grid-tufted back, thick bolster arms, three-panel seat, 83" reclined. The 9188ET is narrower and more streamlined: a 27" seat on a 38" frame, clean panel-stitched back, padded pillow arms, single-panel seat, 81" reclined. If shoulder and hip room matters as much as length, the 9205L has 2.5" more frame.

Does it lie fully flat?

Yes — a true 180° lay-flat, with the backrest and footrest set independently anywhere between 105° and 180°. At full recline the chair measures 83" end to end.

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

The chair is handsome looking, and comfortable. It has an extended footrest but the footrest is manual, not remote control. If you have trouble with your balance and getting up, it makes it more difficult to stand to your feet when the footrest is down and you need a second person to manually fold the footrest up. We brought the oversize chair with the extended footrest so my sister could be comfortable sleeping in it at night and be able to get up to go to the bathroom on her own.

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.

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

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.

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.
