Does anybody have any suggestions for a lift chair; we are looking for a chair that will be long enough for my husband 6'-4", with infinite positions, preferably with the bedding option, heat and massage. I ran a search and cannot seem to find one that fits...

Thank you
Tina

You should look into Shopper's Home Health. I purchased a lift chair for my mother this past summer. I know they came in different sizes. They also do carry the chairs that go into a bed position but they need to be specially ordered so if you are looking for something rather quickly I would check them out as soon as possible. Anne

Shoppers only carries the infinite position for up to 6'-0" tall. I would need the next one up that I cannot seem to find anywhere......?

Try calling Chris Forty at ALS Ont. in Toronto. Number is at www.alsont.ca . She is the equipment lady and she may know where to get it. She has been very helpful to me.

I Have been emailing back and forth with Chris, she is not aware of any chairs that have the infinite position for "tall guys". Anybody else out there know??

I was looking for a lift chair (http://www.usmedicalsupplies.com/Lift-Chairs.htm) for my brother who is a tall guy and came across this one that may work. Although it is recommended for 6'2" it may work for you.

No bed option though. :(
