Bariatric Seating

Bariatric seating is built with wider seats, reinforced frames and higher safe working loads to give larger people comfortable, safe and dignified seating at home or in care. The range includes bariatric day chairs, lift chairs, care chairs and commode and shower seating with wide seat widths and robust construction.

Measure hip width in the seated position with clothing, plus seat depth and height, and confirm the safe working load with a margin. Consider the person’s method of standing, arm strength, pressure care needs and the space around the chair. Check that doorways and floors suit delivery and that the chair fits with any hoist in use.

Thrive Lifecare supplies bariatric seating Tasmania-wide, with trials, quotes for NDIS, Home Care Packages and Support at Home, DVA or private purchase, delivery, set up and servicing. Book a trial to confirm fit and comfort before ordering.
