Does anyone have lift chair/recliner/rocker

I’m going to retire my Well know rocker / recliner after 20 years and thinking about getting a lift chair since it’s harder for me to get out of my Lazy. Do you have any experience, suggestions on what kind would be the best ?
I now have a Mini Schnauzer who keeps me busy and is always jumping in my leather chair with her Ginsu Kife like toe nails which might destroy a Fabric One. Any help would be appreciated. Ron

  1. Doreen, after doing lots of research & talking to my Insurance company there isn’t much hope getting them to pay. They will pay for the part that makes the chair lift, that’s all.

      Oh my, I'm sorry to hear that. Boy that is so frustrating.
      We appreciate you keeping us updated on your research.

  2. Hello there, - have you found and purchased a lounger? Or are you still deciding? Curious how you are doing, and if your purchase was worth it. Rebecca (team member)

    1. Thanks for sharing. I will keep searching for the perfect chair - with kindness and care sent your way. Rebecca (team member)

  3. Hi ,
    I just wanted to jump in here and mention to check with your insurance AND your healthcare provider. There may be options out there. Quite a few years ago my Dad needed a lift chair and after doing some research and talking with his healthcare team, we found it was covered by his insurance. Again, it was quite a few years ago, but I believe his doctor wrote a script and we were able to order it (and have it delivered) through a medical supply company.
    Good luck with your search, Doreen (Team Member)

    1. - you are most welcome ..👍🏻

    2. - I received 3 emails and I responded.

  4. - thanks for posting this AMAZING question. I do not have experience with a lift chair, but have seen a few people use them. My FIL had a fused ankle and it was difficult for him to get up out of a regular recliner. He bought a lift recliner to help. He loved it. As to what brand or kind he purchased, I cannot tell you. I think it is quite personal a choice bc there are quite a few on the market. I certainly hope others log on and leave their experience. I would love to see their responses. I'll circle back around in a few days hoping for experienced responses. Rebecca (Team member)

    1. - Medical Supply Stores are usually much higher than a furniture store. I will keep you posted if I find a really great chair. lol
