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!

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

Very easy. Just flip a bar. It's not heavy for me, but an elderly person might find it heavy.

Yes, it is. My mother is 96 and partly paralyzed. It is easy for her to get up with this. She loves it. She love the material also. It is warmer for her. And she doesn't slide on it. There is a back up battery that you can put in, in case of a power outage. It has a nice and slow movement, that doesn't scare her. When she is getting up. I also got this one, because it was for petite people. The size is great for someone under 5 feet.

I think it may be average, but it is too low if you need trouble getting up.

Your up a little over 15 inches. It makes it easyer to get up and out of it.

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

Not very easily. The stool would be too low unless you put at thick pillow on it to raise the child up.

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

It's as low as a regular table chair. If your person or you have knee problems it might be difficult to get up again. It's takes a moment to get used to the tripodness. A older person should use a walker with a chair but if your stubborn like my mom and not ready for that just yet this might work.

This is an excellent product that I'm really happy to have. It might support a heavier person. I'm a little over 200, I'll bet it will work. You might want to call the company or just try it.

Yes. Just be sure you have it turned in the right position. I also use it for the step up from the garage into my house when my granddaughter visits. It worked beautifully when the family visited last summer. I'm 73 and can handle it easily. Hope this helps!

Absolutely. Maybe not as much as a rocking chair but a good movement and allows you to put your feet up.

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

You could do that, but it is a bit heavy and bulky to then lift in to the car if you wanted to take it with you. IE; my 82yo mother could not do it.

Shouldn't be a problem....either to self propel or assisted. I tip the scales at 285 and the chair works just fine. It's quite comfortable and suipports me for hours at a time. I would suggest that if you can find a seat pad it would make it more comfortable if she is in the chair for long periods. The construction, while exceptionally durable, is very lightweight. She might appreciate the extra padding. Great chair, easy to use and transport, terrific price, exceptional value. I'd recommned it without hesitation.

The item is quite large. I wouldn't want an elderly person worrying about getting up from a chair attempting to hold this thing. It really does need a table to sit on so you can use the sorting trays and puzzle base.
