The seriously hurt woman, identified by the Daily News as Rose Moore, a grandmother in her 80s, was taken to the burns unit at Harlem Hospital.
A nurse there said "she's doing okay" on Thursday morning.
The fire was put out just before 12:30 a.m., fire officials said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, officials said.
