Areas to consider:

3. The number of motors required – Single, Dual or Three Motor.
4. Measurements – you need to have the correct measurements of your chosen chair to give you the maximum comfort and benefit and don’t forget the overall size of the chair in relation to your room. The critical measurements are as follows:
Seat to floor height

5. Style – you will need to consider the most suitable style of chair which will include:
Back design – 3 designs to choose from
Arm style – choose from – slim, wide, round, flat, wood knuckles, full length.
Pressure Care – foam type to seat, footboard & armrests, Gel pad to seat & footboard, Seat cut-out to enable a pressure relief cushion to be used for transferring in and out of the chair – removable arms
6. Choice of fabric – take into account any incontinence issues and when using pressure relief foam and or a Gel pad this will require a multi-way stretch fabric such as Panvelle Stretch.
7. Safety – Anti-entrapment system when there are concerns about small children and pets.
When castors are required consider having braked castors on the rear to stop the chair moving when the user is getting in or out of the chair.
