Complete comfort
The Bariatric Comfort Chair is an extra-large chair offering all the comfort, flexibility and features of our standard Comfort Chair.
The Bariatric Comfort Chair features unparalled tilting, reclining and leg rest elevation, making it easy for caretakers to shift positions, ensuring the frequent repositionings of the body required by long sitting hours. Or for users themselves to adjust the chair, using the remote control for the optional electrical positioning system.
Available in a variety of seat sizes with versatile cushioning, the chairs can be designed to fit the exact measurements of any user.
Also have your own choice of the size of the wheels, whether it's rear- or front wheel driven, if it's powered or manual, gas-operated or automatic. (The shown Bariatric Comfort Chair is a manual, 12” rear wheel driven chair with gas operated tilt, recline and leg rests).
