Glad to see this thread. We just purchased a lift chair for my husband. The cover is microfiber and I'm wondering about arm and head covers for that. Not only will use encourage them to fall off but the up and down function will encourage them to fall off, as well. I looked at the vinyl chairs because of practicality but they were slick that I was afraid it would dump him on the floor in a blink. All of these suggestions are being taken into consideration. Appreciate all suggestions.
