Question by littlelopez55: Anyone know where to find a small sized (not child sized though) recliner chair?
I am decorating and am looking to put a comfortable recliner chair in a somewhat small space. Anyone have any ideas as to where I can find one? I looked at places like IKEA, but most chairs have the dimentions of 30×35 (or around there). I am looking for something that is smaller than 30×30. Can anyone help?!? Please!

Q&A: Anyone know of a homemade adjustable bed, with padded sides?

Question by tammy_49_2001: Anyone know of a homemade adjustable bed, with padded sides?
My sister is disabled, and in order for health care workers to come into our home, we need her to be in a hospital bed, ( or a bed that goes up and down and is on wheels) however, a hospital bed will not hold her in, she seizures and if she is sitting up and goes into a seizure she could fall out as the rails are not very high on a regular hospital bed.
Does anyone know of a homemade adjustable bed ( that goes up and down ) with higher and padded sides ?

Perhaps this will work:

I have no personal knowledge of it, just did a search.
You can add padding yourself as I have never heard of padded guard rails for adult beds–infants yes, adults never seen such a thing though it might exist–a hospital nurse might know.
Good luck. If that does not work, contact your local Area Agency on Aging (listed like that in phone book) and tell them what you need and they hopefully have someone who can give you the name of a company that provides an appropriate one.

Question by watchdemknights: Does anyone know if the airlines and the rental cars accomodate this?
I am a handicaped man but can walk short distances with the aid of a cane. Recently, I traveled by Northwest, but I didn’t need my cane because they took me all over the airports by a wheelchair attendant.

Now, I am looking into a mobility scooter that I can buy and take to MLB baseball parks and through the airports.

the airlines will absolutely take that. free of charge!!!! I’m not sure about the rental car though, you’d have to call and ask them. they may ask you to check the item into your baggage, but they will not charge you for it. if they do that they will have someone come get you at the ticket counter and escort you to the gate in a wheel chair that the airport provides.

Does anyone know of a way to rent mobility aids?

Question by val: Does anyone know of a way to rent mobility aids?
Both myself and my roommate while we can walk some any small distance is a huge challenge. My roommate has severe hip arthritis – so even walking around Walmart is a huge effort. I have fatigue issues that stem from a neurological disorder. I normally would not use a wheelchair – but to go to a museum or other tourist places that do not provide mobility aids, but require a lot of walking it would be nice to be able to rent some sort of assistive devise. Anyone know where I could get something – keep in mind that I only have a car to transport it, not a van or SUV. I’ve tried the seat canes and they really don’t work very well for me. Any ideas anyone?

Many museums will have wheelchairs available to loan to you. Call ahead to reserve them in case they’re in short supply. You might also consider purchasing a walker with wheels. There are hospital supply and nursing home supply stores that can also rent them, but sometimes it’s just cheaper to purchase them outright. The walker can be bought for less than $ 100. Wheelchairs are much more. Make sure they fold and lock easily and securely. Best of luck!
