I bought a lift chair because when I get sick I cannot get out of the bed to get to the bathroom. My lift chair reclines to a 180' angle, so it is possible to sleep in it and then press the button to be lifted up in order to get into a wheelchair or use a walker using minimal leg strength.

You should get to a store that has a variety and test them out for your needs. I really need mine and would have to sit in my wheelchair all the time if I didn't have it.
