I've used the Hoyer for awhile. Leaving the sling in place all day adds fuel to feeling as a sick person so I removed it. Rolling the body then rolling up the sling half ways under you, then repeat from the other side. A slight tilt if your chair tilts helps.

If so, how hard is it to get the sling out from underneath you once you are sitting in your chair?
