The Importance of Good Seating

A good seating posture allows us to perform a multitude of daily tasks, without having to consider comfort, balance or stability.

Seat height and depth, arm support and even firmness, affect how much we need to alter position in response to how comfortable we are. It is important to match the features of a chair with the physical needs of the user.

Seated: It is important that a chair is tailor-made to the user's physical requirements, providing correct posture and an even distribution of weight, preventing the build-up of pressure in isolated areas.

Recline: A resting position can be achieved whilst maintaining good posture and weight distribution over a large contact area.

Rise: The chair's in-built rise facility allows the user to be gently lifted into a standing position without strain on their limbs or joints.

Shown here in reclined position is the Glamorgan, a single motor wall-proximity rise and recliner with a waterfall back. Optional extras include battery back-up, anti-entrapment device, armcovers, side pocket(s), antimacassars and headroll.
