A bariatric chair provides essential support and comfort for larger users or people with mobility issues. Designed with wider seats and reinforced to offer heavy-duty strength, bariatric chairs promote inclusivity by giving visitors or patients of all sizes a safe place to sit. While our bariatric office chairs offer extra-strong seating solutions for the workplace, this specialist bariatric seating collection has been created for demanding commercial use – anywhere from education and healthcare settings to busy receptions and waiting rooms.
Bariatric chairs offer essential support and stability in healthcare settings. Standard chairs can be unsafe or humiliating for larger patients, so bariatric seating allows them to safely sit with dignity. We stock a specialist selection of bariatric patient chairs, featuring extra-wide seats and armless designs for easy accessibility. Our healthcare chairs offer safe and reliable seating anywhere from waiting areas to examination rooms.
Your reception or waiting area needs to be welcoming for all visitors, no matter what their size. Standard reception chairs might not be comfortable for larger guests, so it’s important to provide a good selection of bariatric waiting room chairs. Our collection includes bariatric seating with our without arms, plus antibacterial vinyl upholstery to make cleaning easy.
A bariatric high back chair offers additional posture support for larger users. The upright design supports the head, neck and shoulders, helping guests to stay sitting upright. Sturdy armrests provide a secure base to hold or push off of, making it easier to sit or stand. You can also find high back options in our heavy duty office chairs collection for use at desks or workstations.
