Bariatric Lift and Recline Chair with Independent Leg and Back
Heavy-duty, Comfortable, and Supportive Bariatric Lift and Recline Chair for reliable daily use
Finding a comfortable and reliable chair that provides bariatric support can be a frustrating experience. Many chairs don't offer the durability for long-term use or the specific positioning options needed for comfort and relief. The challenge of moving from a seated to a standing position without assistance can significantly impact independence at home, creating a reliance on carers for simple, everyday movements.
The Bariatric Lift and Recline Chair with Independent Leg and Back is engineered to address these challenges directly. Built with a heavy-duty bolted steel frame and a powerful triple-motor system, it provides a safe working load of 250kg. At the touch of a button, the chair smoothly lifts you to a standing position or reclines to your preferred angle. Crucially, its independent motors allow the backrest and leg rest to be adjusted separately. This means you can elevate your legs to improve circulation—even above hip height—while keeping your back upright, offering a level of personalised comfort that single-motor chairs cannot match.
Why choose this Bariatric Lift and Recline Chair?
- Powerful Triple Motor System: Three heavy-duty motors provide maximum lifting power and allow for independent adjustment of the backrest and leg rest.
- Enhanced Circulation & Recovery: The leg rest can be elevated 8.5cm higher than the body, an ideal position for aiding circulation and recovery.
- Superior Durability & Support: A bolted steel frame with No-Sag springs ensures maximum strength, longevity, and consistent support for up to 250kg.
- Simple & Convenient Operation: A single, easy-to-use hand control allows you to recline, sit, or stand up effortlessly, with side pockets for convenient storage.
- Uninterrupted Safety: Features a rechargeable backup battery system, ensuring the chair remains operational during a power outage.
How the Bariatric Lift and Recline Chair is used day to day
- Effortless Standing: Rise from the chair to a standing position safely and without assistance from a carer.
