Choosing the right seating for someone with complex care needs isn’t just about comfort—it’s about posture, pressure management, and independence. The Configura Advance Electric Care Chair is widely recognized as one of the most versatile and adaptable specialist chairs on the market today.

Whether you are a caregiver looking to provide better support or a clinician seeking a highly configurable solution, here is why the Configura Advance is a game-changer for home and residential care.

Precision Positioning with Electric Tilt-in-Space

One of the standout features of this chair is its 37° electric tilt-in-space mechanism. Unlike standard recliners, a tilt-in-space system allows the entire seat to tilt back while maintaining the user’s hip and knee angles.

This is critical for:

• Pressure Redistribution: Shifting weight away from the pelvis to reduce the risk of pressure sores.

• Postural Stability: Helping users maintain a midline sitting position and preventing them from sliding forward (slumping).

• Improved Comfort: Allowing for a restful position without compromising the user's alignment.

The "ClickLock" Advantage: Tool-Free Adjustability

One of the biggest frustrations with specialist seating is the need for tools to make minor adjustments. The Configura Advance solves this with the ClickLock system. Caregivers can adjust the seat width, depth, and height quickly and easily without searching for a wrench. This makes it an ideal "future-proof" chair—as a user’s needs change, the chair can be resized to fit them perfectly.

Key Features at a Glance

• Forward Tilt Function: Standard on electric models, this feature gently tilts the user forward to assist with safer, more independent sit-to-stand transfers.

• Drop-Down Armrests: These facilitate easier side transfers and simplify the process of inserting a hoist sling.

• Pressure Care Ready: Comes with a vapor-permeable (VP) fabric that is breathable and easy to clean. It also features an integrated Visco cushion that can be swapped for high-risk air cushions if required.

• Reduced-Shear Recline: The backrest is designed to move in a way that minimizes skin friction, protecting fragile skin during recline movements.

Who is the Configura Advance For?

This chair is specifically designed for users with moderate to complex postural needs, including those with:

• Limited mobility or neurological conditions.

• A high risk of developing pressure ulcers.

• Conditions requiring specific pelvic stability or head support.
