How do u get the leg rest to stay up in flat position?

the very back legs and the edge of the basket when folded will help it stay upright.

I lay flat on my back most of the time. I do suggest using the "low" setting to avoid possible blistering.

Make sure the horizontal stabilizing bar is up, pull the seat up in the middle and the chair folds right up. Never had any problem. If your chair is particularly tight right out of the box, maybe put a small drop of lubricant on each joint?

This has happened to me before, and I usually find that adjusting the seat completely upright and making sure the canopy is all the way back does the trick. Hope that helps!

You need to adjust the position of where the weight hangs. It should be hanging down from your back to around your lower back area. If set up properly, you will unconsciously keep you back straight to have the weight hang rather than press up against your back if you were to slouch. At least that's the way how its worked for me.P.S. You shouldn't sit against a back rest if you are wearing the Body Rite, because the weight will press against the back rest and cause more pain than good. Only use when sitting on a backless stool, standing or walking.

Unlock the legs from the standing position (until I got the hang of it, I ended up pulling the leg right off, but it clicks back in place), then instead of folding the legs in to store it, fold them outward so they are even with the seat part and place flat across the toilet. In public restrooms, I just cover the seat with TP or the seat covers to keep it from touching the toilet.

I'm sorry to say but I have the same problem with mine when I go to recline back down . No , I have not found a way to fix that either . Sorry that I couldn't help more .

Lift and hold the lever on the left side, and push the foot rest down to the position you want, then let go of the lever, it should stay.

Be sure that the folding supports, inside the top on both sides, have lowered and are "snapped open". The pressure of your feet on the top will ensure continued holding of the open position. Mine has made a huge improvement in my back and knee problems. Good luck with yours.

push in the pop outs and lower the legs down, then you can fold in the legs, hope this helps.

I unrolled mine and let it sit flat for a while. I roll it with working surface side out. It seems that with use it seems to stay very flat for me. Others have said to slightly dampen the surface under it so it doesn't slip and stays flatter? hope this helps)

Taz gave a good answer; remember the left and right leg rests are not interchangeable. With leg rest to the side, align holes and pins, and slide leg rest down on pins. Straighten leg rest forward and push on the spring-loaded front rigging lever to lock in place.

It should be flat. I'm guessing your base isn't level; the mattress is still expanding; or perhaps it is defective but this would be a really big quality control oversight if it is a defect.Mine was misshapen until about 48 hrs after it was unpacked

No, I prop my pillows up to hide the legs. They can't be adjusted. When I replace my mattress and box spring, hopefully they will be higher.

Try putting a wet towel under it and it won't move........wash in machine and set under something heavy to make it flat again

There is a tab on the right side of the chair.....when you pull it the leg rest comes up. You manually push the leg rest back down using your legs. Also, the chair is a bit on the small side! I would check the dimensions before ordering!

Are you asking how to put it in a reclining position? Start with it completely flattened, and as you lift the back, there are several position levels, from most reclined to 90 degree position. If you want to go back to a more reclined position, you push the back forward from the 90 degree level, and then pull it backward to its flattened state and start over.
