Healthcare Chairs

More Information

What’s the difference between a healthcare chair and standard chair? 

Healthcare chairs are built for clinical and care environments. As such, they feature healthcare-specific features like antimicrobial vinyls and fabrics, easy-to-clean materials and designs, and reinforced frames to withstand continual use and high cleaning cycles. 

Patient chairs also typically differ from standard chairs in that they feature accessible features such as taller seat pads, and drop arms. 

Which healthcare chair is best for care homes or hospital wards? 

Whilst this is a somewhat subjective point, we find that the Hamilton and Dalton Bariatric Armchairs are ideal for these settings. They offer enhanced seat width and strength for safety and inclusivity, and can be specified with wipe-clean vinyl. 

For other parts of your healthcare estate – for example, waiting rooms – chairs like the V-Care Stacking Chair and V-Care Beam Seating are an ideal choice. For consultation rooms, chairs like the Cubitt are perfect. 

What materials are healthcare chairs made from? 

As you would expect, given they are used in high-traffic environments, healthcare chairs are typically made using contract-grade foams and upholstery, as well as metal and hardwood frames. This ensures the chairs can withstand intensive use and high cleaning cycles. 

Can healthcare chairs help with posture and mobility? 

Yes. Many of the healthcare and patient chairs you’ll find here at Rosehill utilise ergonomic design – which provides maximal comfort for the user, avoiding pressure points and the possibility of sores developing.
