Is the Chicago Rise Recliner Safe?
This chair is quality assured, meeting all relevant fire retardancy standards to ensure user safety. There is also a safety key built into the hand controller to prevent movement and entrapment, for further peace of mind. This Chicago model has also been tested to BS 5852 Ignition Source 5 (Crib 5), making it ideal for nursing and care home environments.
How Can the Riser Function Help Me?
The Restwell Chicago Chair is a must for anyone who struggles to get out of their armchair. Using the three-key handset, the chair can lift the user gently out of the chair and into a standing position.
What Is the Function of Anti-Microbial PVC?
Anti-microbial fabric protects against the spread of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and mould. This chair is covered with anti-microbial PVC which is incredibly easy to clean, preventing the spread of illnesses between patients and generally improving hygiene in the home or care facility.
Is the Motor Noisy During Use?
No - the Drive Chicago Armchair is designed especially for discreet operation. The motor is exceptionally quiet, providing a smooth transition between positions without disturbing other care home residents.
Why Does the Restwell PVC Chair Include Two Hand Controls?
Unlike the Rembrandt fabric models which can be found below, this PVC model comes with two handsets. The three-button handset allows the chair to rise and recline, whilst the two button handset allows the chair to recline only. This will help to avoid accidental rising, making operation incredibly easy for your patient.
Looking for a Different Model?
The Chicago Rise Recline Chair is also available with Rembrandt fabric upholstery instead of PVC, in either a Terracotta version or Beige version.
