Recliner couch

Does anyone have a recliner couch like this? https://images2.imgix.net/p4dbimg/5/images/ss426-p3-085-silo-open.jpg

I was wondering if you raise the two outer footrests and leave the middle one down, could you sit in the middle with your feet up on the sides and feel like you are in stirrups?

I would say very likely.

I'd love to hear from anyone who tries it.

I have one just like that, in black.

But hell would freeze over before I could use it with my wife

I have a leather dual recliner but ive never tried it.

We want to get our mother a comfortable, supportive chair. One that would last through this severe stage. The public nurse has recommended a riser and recliner chair. I am looking forward to these options. https://www.reclinerland.com/best-recliner-for-elderly/

But its a huge investment. We were saying we could perhaps sell it or give it to someone we know who needs it or perhaps a nursing home. Anyone here get one of thes? Is it worth the price?

We have one and I highly recommend it – but invest and get a decent one. We had a manual recliner that was great for repositioning weight to avoid pressure sores, but was getting harder and harder to transfer in and out as both the patient and the caregiver gets weaker. We replaced it with an electric chair that makes transfers a piece of cake - essentially a short pivot from the wheelchair to the recliner and vice versa. The electric lift chair relieved me of a lot of awkward lifting and unnecessary strain on my back.

Some have massage and other features that are cute, but I don’t think you need or would use them. Just comfort and the ability to reposition easily and stand-up are the main things to look for.

When my wife got sick 5 years ago, I bought her a Golden Relaxer PR756-MED from a medical supply house. At $1400, it was less expensive than a lot of chairs in furniture stores, and highly recommended by the people at the med supply store. It has a weight capacity of 375 lb, and still serves as my recliner now. Current model is the PR766-MED (https://www.goldentech.com/lift-chairs/maxicomfort-series/relaxer-medium/).

I'd be wary of a $500 chair from Amazon…

@intruder is right about being cautious about ”what appear to be” cheap or bargain chairs. We spent over $2k for ours and it has been worth it. You should try them out before buying…depth, comfort, ease of use, warranty, etc. there’s a large variety and find a good one that fits your needs, and anticipate future needs.
