my father is 6 feet tall with long legs, will the leg rest be long enough when he is in the recline position?

this was bought for my neighbor who is 6'2" likes to recline 3/4 of the way. He says his feet hang off a little but it does so with other chairs he has had in the past. He says the chair is a big help in getting up. He does not have to rock back and forth to get momentum to pull himself from the chair to a standing position.

No the legs won't fit on the leg rest without hanging over the end of the rest.

I am 6'1" tall and it fits me well. It has worked very well for me during my recovery from a fall.

We bought this chair for a 92 year old with long legs. He has no problems with it and, in fact, every day he says how wonderful his chair is. It's so comfortable that he falls asleep in it every day. He loves it.

NO, but you can use it with out the foot rests, my dad is 5'3'' and it fits perfect. Wheel chair is light and easy to manuever.

I am 6.0' and in the fully reclining position (for napping) the heel of my feet our just past the end of the reclining part. So as for me only my feet are unsupported. In the normal reclining position (for watching TV) my wife measured that 12" hang past the end of the chair. So as I said in my review, if you can fit a regular full size reclining chair in the room, that would certainly be more comfortable.

Sarah, It is a very sturdy,well made transport chair. I'm not sure if it would be okay for your Father. I would recommend it though I can't be sure for your Dad's height.I would call Medline and ask them. It is very well made.Good luck.

This chair only has one reclining position. It will not recline far enough for you to have your legs above your heart. Hope this answers your question.

I am 6' and when fully reclined my heels just barely touch the end of the foot rest and my head is near the top of the backrest. The longest of any lounger that I have tried including Lazy Boy. A great sturdy chair with a wide and long seat. Only drawback is that the footrest is not controlled by a power option or a lever, thus it is retracted by physically pushing it down or kicking it back into position. Difficult if the user has foot or leg problems.

Hello Terence,Yes and No, I am 6'3" and can lay in the chair comfortably at half recline. Once you go beyond that it will start pushing you to bend your knees. At half recline the chair is full functional and works great, I would recommend the chair to anyone. I have had two massage chairs and this one is by far the better of the two for height challenged seating. I hope this helps,Dan

The chair is not flat when in the most reclined position. The seat and leg extension are flat, and about 43 inches long. The back is at an angle and is about 36 inches long.

Yes, my daughter is 38 inches tall, she is comfortable, and the leg part is adjustable independently from the reclining function

Hi Jodi, My husband is 6'2" and he believes that in the fully recline position, this chair will elevate the feet above the heart. I do not think it is "well above" though.

I'm 5' 5" and there is plenty of leg room left. I think a 6' person would be quite comfortable.

I got this chair for my husband who is 5'7" but my brother comes over to use it. He is 6'4". Massager starts at his shoulder line, when recliner is in upright position his feet are on the floor. When reclined, he says its comfy but he doesn't use leg massager, he doesn't like it, but his legs still fit in there.

I would think so. My father is 6'1" and 220# and he could have kept his feet on the flat platform but chose to rest them on the housing over the front wheels. That was actually very doable and comfortable. Someone 6'4" might have to straddle the steering wheel.

Yes, he will be able to recline without a problem. It probably is not a chair that he will want to spend hours in front of the TV in, though.

My husband is 6'4". The chair is perfect for him. Of course, his feet hang off the footrest, but as far as the back of the chair hitting his neck and back, it is just right.

I'm sitting in chair now and I don't think a tall person's leg would form a 90 degree angle. I'm 5'4" and my feet have to go past 90 degrees to touch the footrest. Although I will say it's not uncomfortable at all. I'm just looking at my legs from the knee down and it's not a 90 degree angle.

Yes. Foot rest comes up then back reclines. A good napping chair per my granny!
