Hi Tesse,
 
Would you, or maybe one of the professors up there, know of a store/manufacturer that would have/could make a sturdy yet comfortable leisure chair for a small individual? No, this is not for me :D. There is in individual who lives here at Denton State Supported Living Center that measures approx. 14” from hip to knee, and he is currently sitting in a large easy chair with a pillow behind his back and a foot box. This isn’t working well for him, but the supplier that had worked with us for other individuals is no longer in business. If you could pass this around and have anyone who has a suggestion contact me that would be appreciated.
 
Thanks!
Laura

Hi...

I've purchased an ergonomic computer chair from this website for a small
person and was very satisfied with the product.

I would recommend the Adaptive Design Association in NYC. URL is adaptivedesign.org

They make stuff primarily out of triwall. They're amazing. Can customize however you need. I don't know how they do things at a distance but I have every confidence in them.

Good luck

Anita
