Would this be suitable for an elderly woman who wants a soft snuggley chair for her bedroom. A not too large chair to put by her window. She wouldn't be sleeping in it. She can't have something so low that she has difficulty getting back on her feet...

This chair would work for that purpose. It's very soft and comfortable. We use it in our nursery but I think it would look great in a bedroom as well.

We have never actually used this piece of furniture ourselves as we bought it for a guest bed room in our winter home in Florida. Our guests seem to enjoy it as I have seen them sitting in it. It is not very big and is very firm so I don't think it would be suitable for sleeping. Also it would not be comfortable for a large person. It's just the right size for the corner of the bedroom where it was placed and so far we have been happy with the purchase. Hope this helps.

Yes, definitely! We're fairly small adults, but it easily accommodates one. We use it in our guest room and have had only good comments from guests. My husband often naps on it during the day. So comfy.

ii am an old lady, 89 years old and am tive feet one...the chair fits me, however the foot rest is very difficult to put back into place after having it up. it is a little easier, after a few months of use, but still difficult. if you are strong, you can probably handle it. for the price, i think it is worth that little inconvenience. however, if i were you, and could afford a different chair, i would look elsewhere. good luck to you.

I think it would, my wife uses it 95% of the time in a pillow back comfort chair in our living room . She never uses it a straight or office because she is reired. I know when we travel it goes with us but she will not use it in the car because she can't get it skinny enough. Over all she defiantly uses it religiously .

I sat on mine and tried looking out the window over the kitchen sink. I could see outside just fine in the distance, just not right below the window. Perhaps you should get her a high comfortable stool with a back instead. I hope your grandma enjoys ity.

It is very comfortable however it may not be firm enough for your liking. I would agree with the others who say it is "medium to soft." If you can check one out in a store first, you could "con-firm" if it is firm enough for your liking:-)

I think you would be fine. However realize this is not a bed you would probably want to use as a regular every night bed. My husband is 5' 10" and weighs about the same. He has laid on it for short periods (nap) and says it is fine for him. However neither of us has slept on the bed all night, we got it (we actually bought two because after I received the first I was so impressed I ordered another) mainly to use for guests beds, particularly for grand children,(some are adults). Hope this helps.

I have one in my bedroom and I have a chair less than two feet from the unit. In order for it to work well it needs to have free air-flow so blocking it off with a couch would likely not work so well. They get hot enough that you would not want to leave your hand in contact for long...but not so hot as to burn you if you brushed up against it. If the furniture is off to the side a foot should be fine.

I have only had mine for a short time and it's not too warm yet in Michigan, so haven't used it much. So far I'd say it is not easy to open. I think it would be a problem for an elderly person. It is fairly comfortable, but you really have to push to get it to recline. Maybe it will be better with use and some WD-40.

I haven't bought this chair yet. I have severe back issues, I am usually in my bedroom by 4 or 5 in the afternoon. I would love to enjoy my downstairs a lot more, I would love to have a softer chair to relax in and enjoy my family/ Any opinions will be appreciated and taken into cosideraton

Sandra,this chair would absolutely not fit your need.I am rarely tethered to the chair for over an hour.The seat and back cushion need to be fortified with another cushion.Keep on looking elsewhere.

Since the arms are higher, I couldn't slide the chair under my desk at home. I use them as accent chairs in my living room. They are actually comfortable and look very appealling for a mid-century modern look. I would use it as a waiting room chair in an office situation. If you are going to use it for a prolonged daily basis. I would find a nice cushion for it.

The knobs are hard rubber or plastic?? If you put padding of some kind...thickness to your preference it could work. I found with just my shirt on and sitting in the lounge chair it was way too hard on my back. Perhaps a folded blanked to different layers could bring down the intensity. A light jacket while sitting in the chair or lying down might work as well.

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 yes...but I will pull on it tonight and consider how well it would work.....and then respond again. I take one side bar off every morning....and it is very easy to manage. The other way to get the person out of the bed is to lower the bar in place....which does not work for me because the bed is low....and the top rail bumps her legs as she gets out.I will check and let you know tonight....Bless you for being a caregiver...it is tough.

This futon is a good size for small spaces. The back has several angle positions but it is very firm so keep in mind that this is not as comfortable as a conventional sofa. You might consider a love seat instead that will fit well in a small area and offer more comfort.
