Overview of the 3 Position Geri Chair

This recliner from Drive Medical offers 3 comfortable positions: upright, deep recline and elevated footrest/legrest. It comes standard with a built in headrest, comfortable upholstery and large molded trays. The chair also features 5" wheels that lock for safety, wide padded armrests, and "pop off" side panels for easy cleaning. The suspension of this chair is self-adjusting in order to prevent bottoming out, and the chair is covered in a fabric that resists soiling. The seat is 19"W x 19"D.  There is a limited lifetime warrany on the chair's frame and a 1 year warranty on the upholstery and moving parts. The weight capacity is 250lbs. 

What Makes This Different
This chair is a stand out for its extra-large tray. The tray is blow molded and has a cup holder to hold any beverage. For convenience, the tray can be locked into any of 5 different positions. If the tray is not desired for a particular activity, it simply slides off and can be stored in the side of the chair.


Why We Like It
From the leg rest to headrest, the tray and the 4 reclining features, this chair is made to be customizable to any situation, and more importantly, it is comfortable! Sit back and utilize all the great features of this recliner that make adjusting to any activity a breeze.

Measuring Guide

View Detailed Measurement Guide

Seat Depth¹

Measure from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two inches. Some prefer more leg overhang to make room for their hand when lifting their leg.

Back Height²

Measured from the seat base to the top of the wheelchair back. Depends on how much upper back support is needed, and also affects freedom for the upper body to rotate.

Rear Seat to Floor³

Measurement from the ground to the rear seat edge. Relative to the front seat-to-floor dimension, this determines the rearward slope ("dump" or "squeeze") of the wheelchair seat.

Hanger Angle⁴

Determines how far the toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. A tighter angle allows the wheelchair to turn around in less space. Depends in part on ability of the knee to bend towards the perpendicular.

Seat Width⁵

Determined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch to ensure room to move. Consider bulk of clothing, particularly a heavy winter coat, if relevant.

Wheel Camber⁶

Angle of the wheel relative to the vertical. More camber improves stability and agility, but also limits ability to pass through narrow spaces. A typical daily wheelchair uses three degrees of camber.

Front Seat to Floor⁷

Measure the leg from the back of the knee to the sole of the foot. Then subtract the thickness of the cushion when it is compressed. Next, add a minimum of two inches for footrest clearance. Do not add the footrest clearance if the wheelchair will be foot-propelled.

Footrest Width⁸

Measure from the inside of each legrest tubing the distance or desired distance between legrests.

Center of Gravity⁹

Measure from the front of the seat back post to the center of the rear axel.

Seat to Footrest Length¹⁰

Measure from the edge of the seat upholstery to the top rear of the footrest.

Backrest Angle¹¹

Measure the the angle of the back post to the floor. Ninety degrees will be perpendicular to the floor, to approximate the angle from the back post to the seat, subtract two degrees from measurment for every .5" of dump.
