Buying furniture at BMI 50+

I'm looking for a new recliner or arm chair for my living room. The person that I'm buying for is 6'8" and about 550 lbs. I'm almost at the point where cost doesn't matter. It' just has to be very comfortable. Does anyone have any ideas??

Thanks, Tracey

Got the best laugh out of your post!  I read the names and descriptions and did not know whether to put it in my den or mount it on my wall!

I checked them all out and am guessing they are made by big men for big men!

Wish I had a retailer in Central Texas!

I have what's called a "chair and a half."  I am significantly shorter (5'6"), but right around the same weight.  La-Z-Boy has a few options in the chair and a half style.  I got a cheaper chair, and I'm only so so happy with it.  I didn't realize when I bought it that the top stays back all the time, so I have to sit here loaded up with cushions.  There are also large recliners with a power lift.  The chair reclines with a button instead of the user having to pull a lever.  I had one of those after a leg injury, and it was awesome.

If you look at the left hand menu bar, you can see power as an option.  They also have the chairs divided by width:

The chair and a half are under the regular chairs, not recliners.

I had the chair and a half and found it difficult to manage.  I am a big girl 513 pounds but because of its width I couldn't comfortably grab either side to steady myself, or grab the lever to help close it.  Now, if they have them that are electric it might be no big deal but that was just my experience. 

I do think Brylane home has plus sized furniture, or if you google furniture for morbidly obese, items will come up.

One stop plus has a "plus sized living" category under "home" that has furniture for obese people.  

I was 550 pounds when I bought an over sized recliner at Lazy Boy.  It was very comfortable and easy for me to get out of.  I recently sold it since it is now way to big for me.  It was just under $1000.00 new.  Use it for about 5 years with no problems.....

Brylane . com has furniture -- it's a division of Lane Bryant.  They have indoor/outdoor furniture and home and personal items.  It's reasonable too.

Kittles has a big n tall lazy boy recliner. My brother got it for my mom with a seat lift installed. She loved it and it was huge
