Would an older person be able to get up off this comfortably?

While the mattress isn't as high as a bedframe, it is much easier to get up from than an average air mattress. It may be a case by case basis, but you can sit up and then stand, instead of having to stand up essentially from the ground on a lower mattress.

It is approximately 2 feet up off of the ground. They may require a little help or something to push themselves up with (a table next do it or something). It'll be easier than any other air mattress I have purchased. It will depend on the specific person.

My 89 year old mother had some issues since it was flat on the floor and nothing around to help pull herself up off of the mattress. I believe it would help if the mattress were inflated fairly firm. It helped me. I guess it would really depend on the person's abilities to lift themself up from a low position.

One of the best things about this mattress is that you can sit on the side and then stand up. We are both in our sixties (although active seniors) and did not have a problem. Hubby weighs 180. Hope this helps.

Because it sits up pretty high, it's easier than it would be if it was a flat air mattress, it also seems pretty reinforced on the sides which helps, but it would depend on how spry the older person is. If they have no problem getting out of a chair, then they should be fine. Hope this helps!

Yes, depending on the firmness you find comfortable by inflating the bed more or less, but I'm a pretty big guy and sitting on the edge of the bed and getting up or down is no problem. This is a great bed and I highly recommend it to anyone.

The steps are high. I would not recommend it for an older person with limited mobility.

Yes, it's fine, I have had mine several years. I use it in my kitchen instead of a kitchen stool. The only thing to watch out for is to make sure the back is up against something (a wall or a counter or something) when sitting down or getting up- or your can easily fall off of this chair when either bending down or getting up or down. I would not recommend it for an elderly person for this reason. However, for middle aged or younger it is a great chair. Just hold on to the back of it when getting up and down.

It's a bit much for this normal strength 69 year old man. I can flip it or move it from room to room by myself though.

I'm 72 and it was hard to get used to, but decided to concentrate on me, not it. If I sit back with one hand on the lounger, I know if I just sit, it will be there. we swing awhile, but that's OK. Getting out, I do the same, plant my feet firmly and just get up with the help of the arm rest or edge of lounger. It will swing again, but not hard enough to cause any damage. It would be nice if it was easier, but love my chair anyway.

Yes. For as heavy duty as it is, you can easily turn the key to raise it up , close the base up and insert pin to lock it in place.I am 72 and it cetainly has made getting around a possibility.

My mom is 84 next month and it is not hard for her to use at all. She uses a cushion on top. The only thing I can say negative is that it is not light and a little difficult for her to move if she wants to use it on different furniture.

Yes, this chair is very comfortable and should be easy for her to get up. Highly recommend.

It will probably be too heavy for her. I' m 78 and it too stiff to drive or push around for me. Mine has just sit under the deck. I have not used it. I had a wagon seat that I use to garden. It is hard for me to get up off it but I can use it to garden other wise. Louise

Not necessarily But it shouldn't hurt unless it's too difficult for you to move or lift

Lever is only to open up the leg extension, to put down you have to used your leg strength. Its definitely not for 90yr person. I hope this answers your question

My wife also has major balance problems as well as breaking her leg last November. So for her getting up and down off anything is a real challenge. The commode is in the bedroom so she doesn't have to walk to the bathroom in the dark or with limited light. It is plenty strong and can hold at least 220 pounds - and is raised enough to make it easier to get up and down. Hope this helps (you do have to do limited assembly, but if I can do it anyone can.

If the person is small and the chair is braced or supported by someone else, yes. The chair itself is too light for a heavy person to do that in my opinion.

I don't see why not. It assists getting you up out of the chair. It was perfect for me when I was very weak when I started chemo.

It's is very easy to put up and take down. My 65 yr old mother in law set it up before we arrived and had no trouble. There are two latched per side on the top rail that have to be realsrsd by pushing a hidden button. As long has you have strong enough hands you should be good.

Relatively yes because of his advanced age I would make sure someone can assist him. It isnt really heavy but somewhat awkward and putting it on alone my be quite cumbersome for someone his age
