Bariatric FURNITURE explained.

As our waistlines have expanded, airlines seats have become bigger, car doors wider, buildings now specify wheelchair access and the word ‘bariatric’ has crept into familiar usage.

With well over 60% of the population now statistically obese, we at Bariatric Furniture know there are very few physical environment more importance, demanding simple design and robust design than healthcare, waiting areas and public spaces.

Our practical and beautiful chair collections by Sancal, Global Furniture Group and Nightingale are designed to ensure everyone is comfortable and sitting safely - no matter their shape or size.

These European and North American manufacturers have created a range of bariatric chairs specifically designed for our larger population. After-all public seating in healthcare environments needs to account for people of all shapes and sizes. In fact, with some chair collections, we can offer the same style in 3 different widths so that an obese person doesn’t feel singled out from others by having a totally different large chair. In fact, in many environments such as waiting areas, churches etc, the larger chair sizes are mixed in with regular sizes.

Our contemporary and ergonomic chairs are available in three seat widths from 480 to 760 millimetres to cater for everyone - allowing you to choose a single chair design for your patients and clients without stigma.

Our seating has been tested to international strength and durability standards and installed in major facilities globally.
