Can the knees be inside the chamber? 2 and 1/2 ft (30 inches) sounds really tall, how do you sit on a regular chair to use this product?

Knees (my knees) cannot fit, just the lower legs, and it's not 30 inches, more like half of that.

I bought this sauna for my sister, as she works all day on her feet. I thought she would benefit from it. She did not like it. She said it was stiff and unwieldy. She had to sit in a straight back chair, with the sauna close to the chair. It only came up to her calves. She didn't like the fact that she couldn't relax back in her easy chair while using it. She also said it did not heat up enough. In the end, she returned the sauna.

The unit is not tall enough for your knees to be inside, and you can sit on any chair or sofa while using the unit.

I'm 5ft 4 and my knees do not go inside the chamber. I sit on a regular kitchen chair and I do not have any problems

If you are sitting on a chair or the side of the bed putting your feet into this it will come up to about 4 0r 5 inches below you knees. I am not as impressed with this machine as I thought I would be. It does not seem to get hot enough for me, but they may be as a result of having nerve damage in my legs but you can try it and see if it works for you. If you are having trouble with your knees to where you need to put heat on them there are plenty of wraps out there that you can get that you can reheat them when needed. If you go to dreamproducts.com I know they have a variety of sizes that you can choose from.

Yeah, this going to be too short too. Wish I could tell you different. I'm 6' and there's no way I could use it for that. Sit down option only and honestly I wish it was higher in this mode. Good luck.

Hi - I'm at the opposite end of the scale @ 5'2". There's NO WAY you could sit on your behind on this chair. The angle of the seat is not adjustable. It's a great chair, but at your height, you'd be almost vertical. Or your feet would be under & behind the chair. Sorry, but keep looking!

Hi R&D! Thank you for your inquiry! This chair seems to only come in 29" Aiste BisonOffice

Kind of, it shortens so that the chair sits about 2 feet from the ground. High enough to use the bottom part as a table. But the legs don't completely detach so you couldn't use it as a booster.

I have a partial knee replacement on the left knee, and at first I didn't have any issues using the table. My orthopedic surgeon, however, is concerned that the weight on the knee would put too much stress on the appliance. There is no knee strap or way to limit the pull from the thighs upward, at least not with my table. That isn't to say that there isn't something out there to solve the issue, as I will also eventually have both knees done. The chair piece actually flattens as you tilt back, so there would need to be a place to secure the lower legs that can adjust as the tilt flattens out the table.

I love my kneeling chair, but it takes some getting used to. I can only kneel in it for about an hour, then I change positions or shift to my other chair.

I only weigh 160 so difficult to say whether it can support your weight - it is a very solid built unit and doesn't tip very easily. The knee pad has 6.5 inches clearance between top of knee pad and bottom of chair seat. Hopefully that is the dimension you were looking for.

You should be able to use the seat if you in-seam is 29", the length of the cane is 30", but you sit on it on an angle which makes it shorter than 30" when sit on it.

The seat can only be adjusted vertically which only affects the distance between the seat and knee pads minimally. I'm tall 6' 2 1/2 ", I find the chair works well at the lowest setting. My wife is short, 5' 3 ", and does better with the seat much higher.

The chair seat does not adjust for height. Only the leg/feet pieces height adjust for person's leg length.

No. Even at its lowest angle setting, the seat is still going to be at an angle that would make it impossible to truly sit upon without using the knee pad to bear one's weight. Likewise, the kneepad is mounted such that you couldn't ever have it parallel to the ground to work as a footrest. The distance between the seat and the kneepad also is not sufficient to make for a comfortable footrest even if the seat could be adjusted to be more like a traditional chair. /Maybe/ a very short person could sit that way, but at six-foot tall, I find that trying to sit on this like a traditional chair puts my knees level with my lower ribcage (more like squatting than sitting). It gets uncomfortable fairly quickly...

At the highest setting, the saddle is 24 inches off the ground. Specifically the portion of the seat which is directly above the support column is 24 inches high. This was *not* high enough for me to sit comfortably. I'm 6' 0", 155 lb. male. At this setting, too much pressure is delivered to the lower pelvis, not enough to the legs.

I love mine but I am 252 pounder..but I have bad knees and rely on the framework and arms to get in and out of a chair.

Is it a comfortable sitting height? I have an old knee fracture so curious if it is easy to get off of, since it doesn't have arms. Thanks

The seat is pretty taut for me, but depending on your weight, there might be more sag. The only way to do what you ask without possible injury , in my opinion, is to have a flat hard seat that pivots. I had total knee replacement 2x, so until I was able to bring my knees up high enough and then stretch out, moving from any chair would be very difficult. For my purposes, to have something in the shower that is stable and can fold and higher than most, this is perfect. I know there are "transfer chairs," and thatight suit your needs better. Good luck.

I don't think that would be very safe and you'd have to find special screws long enough to go through the back section if you doubled it, plus the other blocks are just Velcroed on. I will say that I think the added height is sufficient on my standard commode. It's chair height now. If it was taller my feet would dangle. There was no hip surgery here but my husband has trouble standing because of Lewy's Body Disease and my Mom has bad knees so those two inches make a huge difference believe it or not. It's easier on my back helping him up too.
