It is a very comfy chair however with it being a glider that also swivels it may not be too safe for her to push up from to stand up from sitting.

I tend to think so. It is lower to the ground than most. It is perfect for me as I am only 5 ft tall. It's very soft and I've been thrilled with it.

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.

Yes, this chair is very comfortable and should be easy for her to get up. Highly recommend.

It's a beautiful chair, and I myself use it in my living room as a reading chair... It's definitely NOT one of those soft chairs that you can sink into... It's quite firm. Kind of like a firm mattress that you wish were a tad softer. But for me, it works well. I like to sit in it to read. Also, please note that this product has a Prop 65 warning label under the seat (required by the State of California).

Comfortable for "occasional" use when you are short of chairs. Not suitable for most people to watch tv or sit in for long periods. Two arms make it easy for older folks to get out of But they are more like dining room chairs with extra padding.

It's as low as a regular table chair. If your person or you have knee problems it might be difficult to get up again. It's takes a moment to get used to the tripodness. A older person should use a walker with a chair but if your stubborn like my mom and not ready for that just yet this might work.

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.

It is soft but not as soft as down since it is a down alternative. Probably would not work for what you are seeking.

In my honest opinion, no. If there is 3 levels of comfort this would fall in the middle only because the chairs are covered with fabric but there is not enough cushion to make it that comfortable. I have seen this set listed brand new out the box from a local furniture store on CL for seven hundred or so. I would check it out before buying. It looks nice but it's really cheap quality for as much as you will be paying for this item. Quality wise it's okay, it's just a step up from the all wood chairs. Best wishes

Yes , I use mine in my family room. and often fall asleep in it. I can't afford the high dollar gravity chair , so this is what I bought and love it.

Possibly - but not the best choice. It is great for tv watching, relaxing and even sleeping. I really like mine. I suggest a good office chair as a better chair for computer work - that's what I use, the adjustable kind with high back. Best of luck.

It was soft as a foam mattress so it might be a lil too squishy. I set min on top instead of using a foam topper.

It depends on your needs. I do need a firmer chair (L4-5-S1 disks in bad shape, sciatica with neuropathy). So I can't sit in a soft cushy chair at all. But I found this chair on its' own to be too hard and I don't like how deep the back (near the seat back) is. So I have a cushion on the chair.

You would have to be a dwarf to rest your head back! But with a small pillow on the back cushion, you can make it work. I love the chair but it is a small chair not a lounger.

hi, maybe, i'm not sure...i found a very small table top, put a few big books under it, and it's fine....just find the height that you feel comfy and go from there...i use the pictured item in my armchair sometimes, for reading as well...good luck !

I agree, a hard question! I gave one to my granddaughter when she began her first year of college and she is a very tall girl, but not "large". She loves it. I also gave one to a tall boy who is a senior in high school and he likes it. But I wouldn't call him a large adult. Both use it as a bed rest for reading in bed. I think it may not work as well for a large adult. You could try it out and return it if it seems "unfit." Amazon is very good about returns!

I suppose it could be used as a cosleeper, but it's soft all around (i.e. you can't pick it up with baby in it, the bottom would likely collapse), and the sides would squish in if you were sleeping next to it and happened to press against it (which would make it smaller).

This chair helps support your lower back but it would support more if you use a small pillow. I do prefer a chair like this one that has a separate foot stool instead of the one that pops out from a recliner. Most recliners are just too big and sloppy.I am 6 ft and 250 lbs and fit in this chair just how I like it. It doesn't lay perfectly flat but it is comfortable enough for me to take a nap!I like the arm rests because they aren't too high, if that makes sense. I have long arms and if the chair's arms are too "high" then it is uncomfortable.The only other chair I considered is a very similar one at Costco Online.

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.
