I'm looking to find something to support my elderly mother in her lift chair. She tends to lean when sitting in her chair and isn't able to sit upright on her own. Will this easily fit into a basic Lazy-Boy type chair or lift chair?

Yes, this is great for a Lazy Boy chair. I have back pain and this has helped.

Got this chair for my 82 year old Father In Law who is disabled. He is able to carry the chair himself. I also do agility and have one just like it for myself, very durable, not heavy, maybe 5 lbs or so.

This would not be recommended to use with a chair lift. With the this design as the chair is lifting the Able Life Universal Stand will start to lean and become unstable. This should only be used with stationary furniture.

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.

You will need to select a sling and then may need a chain to connect the sling to the lift unless the sling comes with a chain.You want to look closely at the sling. Can she comfortably support her weight with an under-armpits sling? We purchased a sling for my mother that she could sit in but it had a cut out to assist in potty chair usage.

I am at work and the chair is at home; therefore, I can say with being 5'2" tall that the chair goes fairly low. This chair is pretty light weight & every time I rise, it swivels to the right on it's own (annoys me greatly). My 6"3" husband sits in it and with his 250lbs; that probably caused some malfunction. I am just wanting to state that it is attractive but not super duty.

This is a single cover with long flaps for the arms, approximately cross-shaped. It will fit a Lazy Boy, but whether it stays up may depend on the height of the back of your chair. These are quite long to accommodate, but each person will have slightly different experiences.

I recommend you purchase ObusFormes seat cushion. I use the back and seat cushions together in my LazyBoy. I don't know if weight makes a difference , but perhaps the manufacturer could help answer that question. I find using both at the same time is the only way I can sit comfortably in my chair.

Trish, we purchased the Hoyer Lift for my father. My parents live in a mobile home and their hallways as well as their doorways are very narrow. This Lift was the best fit for their situation. I've given them all the information I had on the lift so I can't give you actual measurements at this time but I can tell you it's a wonderful lift, easy to use, and I found it to be the best fit for a house with narrow doors & hallways and very small bathroom.

"Midwest Boomer's" measurements are correct: 5 3/4" X12". I weigh 240lbs and use my seat every week or two; I have had it several months and use it in the grocery store or Big Box store. I DO sit down carefully on it and it seems to be holding up well. This is not to be confused with a Lazy Boy chair! If you are getting on to relieve the severe pain of walking or standing, you will be glad you have it. I normally sit for 5-6 minutes to get relief, and it is fine for that purpose. This is not a "sitting device" to take to a golf tournament for 5 hours!!!

No, the chair is not easy to recline. I think, it takes some getting use to. I have a recliner in our den - push the handle - and it opens - easy. This chair requires a greater degree of strength - but it is a great, and comfortable chair. If your Mom is physically challenged, this may not be the chair for her but if she has the physical ability (I'm a senior) - the exercise might be beneficial. I would definitely purchase this chair again (tried to talk my husband into a second one, since he uses this one, when I'm not there. Hope this helps.

I used it for my 83 year old handicapped husband. Yes. On occasion it would move when he got up on it, so I had to make sure I either held it, or it was braced against something.

Definitely! There are 2 models, one that maxes out at 220 pounds and one that maxes out at 340 pounds. Buy the higher weight model and set it for a slightly higher weight than260 and reach under the chair to pull yourself down for better lift.

I had it in my computer chair but the fit was a bit awkward since then I have moved it to one of my dining chairs and the neck part goes above where the chair ends I have yet to see if that is any better but it looks like it is. I think you just need something sturdy to have it be able to sit straight up and not have it lean back into anything with a cushion.

This works wonderfully for my elderly father. It adjusts to the height needed. My father sits in a recliner lift chair.

I think she will be fine in this one. It is quite sturdy for the reasonable price tag. We use an extra cushion and padded foot rest. My mother is in it most of her day. Hope it works out well for you all.
