Electric Day Chair with Air Pressure Seating
Adjustable, Supportive and Durable Electric Day Chair for Bariatric Users
Finding comfortable and safe seating for extended periods can be a significant challenge, particularly for individuals with higher body weights or limited mobility. Continuous pressure from inadequate seating can lead to discomfort, skin issues, and a reduced quality of life. For carers, repositioning someone to relieve this pressure can be physically demanding and time-consuming.
The Electric Day Chair with Air Pressure Seating is engineered to solve this problem. It integrates the proven Air Comfort Seating System across the entire chair surface—backrest, seat, and leg rest—to provide exceptional pressure distribution. Specifically designed for the bariatric community with a robust 300kg safe working load, this chair offers peace of mind. Its fully electric adjustments for back recline, seat tilt, and leg elevation allow users or carers to find the perfect position with the touch of a button, enhancing comfort and promoting independence while reducing physical strain on support staff.

Fit, setup and suitability
Before purchase, it is important to measure your space. With an overall width of 95cm, ensure the chair will fit through doorways and into its intended room. The chair requires a flat, stable floor surface and access to a standard power outlet for its electric functions. Its 300kg weight capacity is designed for bariatric users, but always check this against individual requirements. The adjustable and removable components make it adaptable for various user needs and carer activities.
