what is a best chair to use this with? will sofa work? or dining room chair?

no. no. you must be lying down on top of the unit. your weight is required for the desired effect. you may need to pad the rotating massage gears with towels if it is to strong.

In my opinion, it is best to use with office chair, or the one with solid and high back support so that it can keep the massage stable.

I'd suggest any kind of sturdy chair with a high back like an office chair or dining room chair.

I use mine on a lazy boy recliner chair which works well for me. I've never used it on a dining chair or a sofa, but imagine it would work well with those too.

I am using a really old vintage chair but it doesn't fit under it all the way. Still looks really cool though.

My husband, who uses this chair, is also losing his ability to stay upright due to MS and/or Lyme disease. but the chair still works fine for him. It is rather narrow compared with US-manufactured chairs, so I think that helps in his case and possibly would for you. Also, if it were really an issue, I suppose you could use some kind of strap around our chest to hold you to the seatback. The benefits of this chair compared with all the other chairs out there on the market would outweigh whatever issues your minimal trunk control presents, which I would imagine would be a factor with any other chair out there that doesn't have an inbuilt strapping system. Hope that helps. My husband, who uses this chair, is also losing his ability to stay upright due to MS and/or Lyme disease. but the chair still works fine for him.

You should sit on a chair to use it. I don't think it's made to be stood on. Sometimes, I use it lying down by propping it up against couch arm and putting my feet against it.

Sure, go for it. Probably not as comfortable as couch that would have padded arm rests but I think you could use it indoors for a year. The coffee table would be great too.

I guess it depends what you want from a sofa. It sits low and the cushions are deep. It's not wholly uncomfortable. I don't care for the headrests as they are cheap. It's over priced in my opinion but it does look good in the living room and I have gotten used to it. It's kinda hard too. Of course I don't use very much. I would see if you could find a showroom that actually has one of these and go check it out. If I had done that I probably would not have bought it.

Seems this high chair may be a good option if we would like a chair that works for both our regular table & kitchen island (which is a little taller)? I am having a hard time finding a chair that would work for both heights.

Either should be fine. The chair we use is large & over stuffed similar to a coach.

The one I purchased has always been used with a recliner...several years now. Truly worth it. One thing: place furniture pads or elevators on the opposite legs to level the chair.

Definitely! The chair glides smoothly and cushions are very comfortable. The foot rest that pulls out of the foot stool is very convenient for resting yourfeet on! The chair is a not over large, it is a good size for a small room........

I use it when I go out to eat, I use a small pillow for my back for stability. Each person using this chair will have different issues. You may want to ask your Dr.

I think i would use felt pads instead. These are about 2 inches square and have a place for a wheel. I don't think they would be practical for sliding dining chairs in and out.

Depends on the design of your chair. But i wouldn't recommend it. I had the same idea, but realized there is a problem. A wired mouse would crash to the floor when you move the chair. A wireless would be better, but still a risk.

I used a wood chair ( actually an older dining room chair) and it fits fine, I didn't want an rolling computer chair, I wanted something that looked liked furniture

I don't know about a chair but I use mine on the couch quite nicely sometimes.

Just a straight chair will work I think I am sitting at it right now I really like it. I have very old fashion wooded chair that looks very nice with it.

I recommend you purchase ObusFormes seat cushion. I use the back and seat cushions together in my LazyBoy. I don't know if weight makes a difference , but perhaps the manufacturer could help answer that question. I find using both at the same time is the only way I can sit comfortably in my chair.
