Choosing a lift chair that is the right size...
Our system of sizing isn't an exact system. In most cases we are using the classification that the manufacturer recommended. In case where they aren't provided, we have done our best to label consistently with our other chairs using; distance from seat to floor, seat to the back of chair top and distance between the arms of the lift chair among some of the other similar lift chair specifications.
Some chairs that are marked as Small and Medium have recommended heights for taller than normal people. A tall, slender person would be unable to find a chair that didn't "swallowed" them up if our classification system were totally based on height.
We've broken our lift chairs sizes into 5 categories;
-
Petite in stature and usually 5' 4" or less.
-
Small in stature and usually around 5' 4".
-
Medium in stature and usually between 5' 4" and 5' 10".
-
Large in stature and usually between 5' 10" and 6' 2".
- Extra Large in stature and usually 6' 2" or above.
- Heavy Duty chairs allow for extra weight.
- Wide chairs indicate chairs that allow for a wider framed person.
If, for example, you decide that you'll need a chair for a Medium sized person, then you'll look for chairs marked with the icon.
Don't worry if you see a icon on the same product that has a . That just means the product was suggested to be suitable for people that are Medium to Large.
