A Word About the Heavy Duty Models
The GL-358XL and GL-358XXL are classified as heavy duty lift chairs, supporting 500 pounds and 600 pounds respectively. Heavy duty lift chairs offer a higher weight capacity, as well as a larger seat. For instance, the GL-358XXL has a seat width of 30 inches, while the GL-358P only has a seat width of 18 inches.
In addition to a sturdier frame and electric system better suited for larger weights, the GL-358XXL also has an extendable footrest option available. It is also only a two-position lift chair, which means it does not recline as far as the other GL-358 Lift Chairs.
