For seniors, the most comfortable chair should relieve the strain on their joints and tissues caused by longer periods of sitting.

We have designed a range of aged care seating to serve the needs of seniors’ health and happiness. Depending on use, it may be important to consider the following factors:

• An adjustable chair that can recline for resting or be upright for other activities.
• Additional support like leg support, tray tables, and rocking actions can be helpful for longer periods spent sitting while encouraging a gentle range of motion.

Stable, solid chairs that don’t move when the user gets in or out create additional safety. Likewise, a chair with a suitable height to support easy transitions is important. Buro stocks foot caps that help elevate chairs to an ideal level.

When choosing a comfortable chair for seniors, it is also important to consider padding to reduce the impact on joints through the seat and back. Explore Buro’s medical chair range above to find a comfortable chair for seniors.

To effectively support patients, hospital chairs should have a design that considers the following:

• Height and accessibility:
  Waiting room chairs must be accessible to patients of all ages, with a height that allows users to sit and stand comfortably.
• Weight capacity:
  Waiting room chairs must support people of varying weights, comfortably accommodating heavier individuals. Our medical chairs prioritise patient comfort and support; for example, the Buro Concord has a weight rating of 250 KG.
• Durable and easy to clean:
  To maintain optimal hygiene through heavy use, medical waiting chairs must be easy to clean and built for durability. We offer custom antimicrobial upholstery to aid in infection control and resist bacteria.

The cleaning and maintenance will vary depending on the type of chair. Here are some general cleaning guidelines for fabric and leather chairs:

Fabric Chairs

1. Vacuum the chair with a brush attachment to remove any loose dirt and dust.
2. Use mild upholstery cleaner or a solution of warm water and mild detergent with a soft cloth or sponge to gently dab stains.
3. After dabbing the stain, use a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue.
4. Let the chair air dry.

Leather Chairs

1. Regularly dust your leather chairs to prevent dirt from building up.
2. Clean your leather chairs annually with warm water and leather cleaner. Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the leather without soaking it. We recommend testing your cleaning solution on a small patch to ensure it doesn’t damage the leather.
3. Use a leather condition to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.

Our medical stools provide comfort and support through long shifts by offering ergonomic support. They enable staff to easily move around and switch between sitting and standing, while the padded seating provides comfort. Some of our medical stools are even endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association.
