Collection: Healthcare Chairs

Healthcare chairs need to be comfortable for long periods, easy to get in and out of, and quick to clean between users. This range brings together seating for care homes, hospital wards, day rooms and waiting areas, from brands including Plinth Medical, Sunflower and Bristol Maid.

Types of healthcare chair

• High-back and winged chairs, such as the Sutton, Atlas and Alderbury ranges, support the head and back for residents and patients who sit for long periods.
• Recliners, such as the Pembury manual recliner, let the user lean back to rest.
• Bariatric chairs have a wider seat and a higher weight capacity. Check the stated capacity on each product page.
• Visitor chairs and seating modules suit waiting rooms, corridors and bedside visiting.
• Stacking and side chairs are useful for activity rooms, meeting rooms and extra seating.

What to check before you buy

Compare the seat height and width with the people who will use the chair, decide whether arms are needed to help with sitting and standing, and check that the upholstery can be cleaned with the disinfectant you use. Many chairs in this range have wipe-clean vinyl upholstery, and some use anti-bacterial vinyl.
