Overall Width 29 to 31 Inches
A 22 inch seat puts total width around 29 to 31 inches. A standard 32 inch doorway clears it, a narrow 28 inch door will not.

Swing-Away Leg Rests
Footrests come standard and swing aside for easy transfers. Elevating leg rests are available as an add-on.
Easy-Clean Flame-Retardant Vinyl
Double-embossed vinyl upholstery is durable, hygienic, and wipes clean in seconds.
Folds in Half
The chair folds in half and fits in the trunk of most cars, portable for appointments and trips.
Self-Propel or Companion Push
Large rear wheels with hand rims let the user move independently, and rear handles let a caregiver push.
Sanitized Before Delivery
Every chair is cleaned and disinfected with a 75% alcohol-based solution before it ships to you.

Why Rent a Bariatric Wheelchair Instead of Buying?
A heavy-duty bariatric wheelchair costs about $400 to $900 or more to buy new. If you only need one for a few weeks of recovery, a season of care, or travel, a rental costs a fraction of that.
| RENT FROM US | BUY NEW | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront Cost | From $105, about $9 a day on a 30-day rental | $400 to $900+ in one payment |
| Delivery and Shipping | Free both ways | You pay freight on a heavy chair |
| Condition | Sanitized and inspected before it ships | Used market, unknown history |
| Right Fit | Swap seat width if it does not suit you | Locked into one purchase |
| Repairs and Upkeep | We service and sanitize it | On you to maintain |
| When You Are Done | Send it back, free | Bulky to store or resell |
| Flexibility | Extend or return anytime | Stuck with it |
For a few weeks of recovery, rehab, or travel, renting costs far less than buying, with nothing to store, repair, or resell afterward.
Rent NowIf This Sounds Like You, a Bariatric Wheelchair Can Help
A wider, stronger seat for larger users who need steady, comfortable mobility, without paying $400 to $900 or more to buy one outright. Rent it for as long as you need, then send it back.
Need a Wider, Stronger Seat
Standard wheelchairs top out around 250 to 300 lb and feel narrow. This bariatric chair is built for up to 500 lb, with a seat that starts at 22 inches wide for real comfort and stability.
Coming Home From the Hospital
After a procedure or a hospital stay you often need reliable seating and mobility for a few weeks, not forever. We coordinate with discharge planners and case managers so the chair is waiting when the patient gets home.
Limited Mobility at Home or in Care
For daily movement around the house, a nursing home, or an assisted living facility, this chair gives larger users a safe, comfortable way to get around with help or on their own.
Events, Travel and Days Out
It folds in half and fits in any car trunk, and airlines check manual wheelchairs free of charge. Rent it for a wedding, a graduation, a long day at the airport, or a family trip, then send it back.
Easier for a Caregiver
Push it from behind or let the user self-propel with the rear wheels. The removable desk-length armrests and swing-away leg rests make getting in and out a lot easier on both people.
Try Before You Buy
Not sure a bariatric chair is the right size or fit? Rent first. See how the 22 inch seat and 500 lb frame work for you before spending $400 to $900 or more on one of your own.

You sit in the seat, hold the armrests, and rest your feet on the leg rests. So we clean every part before the next person uses it. Each chair goes through a 4-step check before it ships.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before renting.
A bariatric wheelchair is a heavy-duty manual chair built on a reinforced frame rated to 500 lb, with a seat that starts at 22 inches wide. It has double-embossed flame-retardant vinyl upholstery, removable desk-length padded armrests, and swing-away leg rests, and it folds in half to fit in the trunk of most cars. It is also called an extra wide wheelchair or a heavy duty wheelchair.
Bariatric wheelchair rental is $105 for 1 day, $120 for the 3-day minimum, $155 for 7 days, $195 for 14 days, $275 for 30 days, $355 for 45 days, and $430 for 60 days. On a 30-day rental that works out to roughly $9 a day. Every rental includes free delivery, setup and pickup, with no hidden fees. Call (847) 696-6814 for an exact quote on your dates.
A standard wheelchair has a 16 to 18 inch seat and is rated to about 300 lb. A wide wheelchair has a 20 inch seat and is rated to about 350 lb. A bariatric wheelchair, like this one, starts at a 22 inch seat and is rated to 500 lb on a reinforced frame with extra lateral stability. Pick by the two numbers that matter: seat width for comfort, weight capacity for safety. Call (847) 696-6814 with the user's height and weight and we will match the chair.
Anyone who needs more seat width or weight capacity than a standard 300 lb chair provides, up to 500 lb. It is a common rental for hospital discharges, long recoveries at home, nursing homes and assisted living, and family events where a standard chair would be uncomfortable or unsafe.
Usually, but measure first. A 22 inch seat puts overall width at roughly 29 to 31 inches, so a standard 32 inch doorway is fine while a narrow 28 inch interior door is not. Measure your narrowest door frame and call (847) 696-6814 before you book, we will tell you exactly what will clear it.
Three steps. (1) Select your rental dates above, or call (847) 696-6814. (2) We deliver and set it up free within 24 hours in the Dallas and Chicago metros, or ship it free anywhere else in the US.

Free delivery within 24 hours in the Dallas and Chicago metros, including same-day in many cases if you order early. Elsewhere in the US it ships free and typically arrives in 2 to 5 business days. If you have a hospital discharge date, tell us the date and we will schedule around it.
Yes. The frame is reinforced and rated to 500 lb with extra lateral stability built in, the seat is a wide 22 inches for better posture, and the padded armrests lift away for safer transfers. Every unit is inspected before delivery, frame, welds, wheels, and brakes, then disinfected with a 75% alcohol-based solution.
It folds in half and fits in the trunk of most cars and any SUV, though it is heavier than a standard chair, so plan on two people for the lift, or ask us to deliver straight to your destination instead. Removing the leg rests first makes it more compact.
Yes. Airlines check manual wheelchairs, including bariatric models, free of charge, and cruise lines and trains accommodate them too. Give the carrier advance notice, and note that a bariatric chair is bulkier than a standard folding chair, so allow extra time at the gate.
Yes. Elevating leg rests, gel or foam seat cushions, lumbar support and a wheelchair tray are all available as add-ons and ship with the chair. Add them at checkout or call (847) 696-6814 and we will put them on your order.
