Bariatric seating too often means a bigger chair and nothing else: the client is fitted to the chair rather than the chair to the client. This model brings the Configura adjustment range up to a higher load rating, so seat width, seat depth and postural supports are all specified and set to the person in front of you.
Tilt, backrest and legrest each run on their own motor. That means tilt can be used for pressure redistribution and postural control without changing hip or knee angle, which is the point of tilt in the first place. The recline mechanism is built to limit shear across the back, so the pelvis holds its position through the movement instead of sliding forward every time the chair is reclined.
Who it suits
Bariatric clients who need long periods of supported sitting with active pressure management. Backrest and armrest options are interchangeable, including adjustable pillow backrests and lateral supports, and the seat takes the client’s own pressure cushion through the integrated overlay. This variant is finished in black vinyl, which wipes down for shared or high-turnover settings, and castors are fitted so the chair can be moved within a room.
