With the three removable and replaceable waterfall cushions they can be repositioned enabling the user to be seated and their posture supported correctly to meet their individual needs. The comfort and postural options are further enhanced with the ability to adjust the firmness of each individual cushion by adding or taking away fibres. Back Blockers On some of the models back blockers come as standard, on others they are available as an optional accessory. At the back of the waterfall cushions, sleeves can be fitted to accommodate the blockers to provide additional postural support. The position of each back cushion can be adapted with blockers to adjust the shape and support for the specific needs of each user. Blockers are provided as standard. Pressure Management There is a choice of 5 interchangeable seat cushions each with different pressure management features. You can purchase one or more cushions to support the different needs of individuals who may use this chair. Cushions and covers are removable for cleaning. With all these seat cushions we recommend a fabric with four way stretch properties to aid reduction of shear and friction. See Seat Cushion Section for details of the individual cushions. Chaise Cover The Bariatric chairs benefit from a single, full seat cover. This chaise reduces the risk of pressure areas developing due to pinch points and shear and friction when the chair reclines. Designed with a memory foam insert the chaise offers deep comfort. The chaise cover and memory foam can be removed for cleaning and replacement. Optional memory foam or gel seating for added comfort and pressure management.

We offer the full range from soft and firm quality Reflex foam, to our specialist care cushions. If you need a little more support from your seat cushion, perhaps if you sit for long periods in your chair, do consider our specialist seat cushions. For ultimate comfort at the heart of your chair, we can also build in our Luxury Pocket Sprung Cushion. Designed with individual high tensile steel coil springs in individual pockets, the springs give consistent support throughout the life of the chair and lasting shape to the seat cushion. Standard Comfort Seating Easiform For standard seating, our softest foam cushion with high quality Reflex foam filler for gentle comfort. Firmaform A cushion that provides a more supportive and firm seat with a high-quality filler from Reflex, the foam specialists. Specialist Seating Viscoform For those who have good posture and mobility but are seated for greater than one hour at a time and require pressure relief and supported comfort. This cushion has a high-density foam base which offers a supportive and firm seat base with a top layer of memory foam to allow immersion into the cushion, giving stability and a large surface area to reduce pressure levels. Celliform This cushion uses our unique Gelacell matrix which distributes pressure and promotes air flow keeping the chair fresher and cooler. Coolform For those sitting for long periods with specific comfort issues such as a high risk of pressure sores. This cushion uses the latest medical grade silicone gel technology allowing pressure to be evenly distributed. The gel conforms to the shape of the body and equalises to body temperature.

Small Profile Headrest Similar to the large profile headrest but support is focused more on the head and neck. Midline Headrest The midline headrest provides postural support for those with some form of midline deficit, following a stroke resulting in proprioceptive deficit or unilateral neglect for example. It is also useful for those with reduced lateral muscle strength or tolerance (such as sternocleinomastoid). How Can We Help?
