Question : Can anybody recommend a product that would help solve this mobility problem for a big guy?
I am a really big guy 5’9″/330 lbs who is having problems with chairs that are too low and a real strain to get out of. I have a comfy lift chair, but it is not very practical when I’m at the dinner table or using the computer. My physical therapist recommended furniture cups but the choices are befuddling. I am not ready for a scooter.

What about using a walker to help lift you up out of the chair? That would be simpler than a whole new chair. Just keep it beside you, and when you start to get up, hold onto it until you get out of the chair.
Try a catalog like Dr. Leonards or Home trends..I have seen a chair pad that is a lift..it is portable so can be used when you travel or even move from chair to chair..cost is around $ 100.00..as you start to stand it gives you a boost which makes standing much easier..Found a picture @ http://www.mtsmedicalsupply.com it works up to 300 lbs, but if you are able to give it some help with your arms it should do you just fine..
