Details
The Tri-Chair Air Chair uses a manual air cushion system to spread pressure evenly and avoid the heat build-up often seen with foam or water systems. It offers a true lay-flat recline, height adjustment and practical transfer features, making it suitable for acute, hospice and homecare settings.
Key benefits
- Effective pressure relief – the manual air cushion helps spread weight evenly to support vulnerable areas.
- Cooler, drier seating – the air system avoids the heat and excessive sweating that can happen with foam or water-filled cushions.
- Comfort that doubles as a bed – the true lay-flat position gives extra comfort and can reduce the need for repeated transfers.
- Easier transfers for carers – side panels swing down to give better access when moving someone.
- Hygienic, hard-wearing cover – genuine Dartex fabric cleans well and suits high-use environments.
Who is this for?
- People at medium to high risk of developing pressure ulcers
- Residents in care homes, hospice patients and users in homecare
- People living with dementia who benefit from safer, more stable seating
- Carers who need easier lateral access and secure transfer options
Product details
The Air Chair centres on a manual air cushion pressure system that gives consistent pressure redistribution across the seating surface. This system reduces the tendency for heat build-up and excessive sweating compared with some foam or water systems, helping to keep the user more comfortable for longer. The cushion is manual to allow simple adjustment for individual comfort and support needs.
A patented mechanism enables a true lay-flat position, so the chair can recline fully and act like a bed for short periods. This lay-flat recline can help reduce forward pitching, which is particularly useful for people with dementia, and the chair's cushioning supports comfort during extended rest. When a transfer is needed, the side panels swing down to give carers better access and reduce awkward manoeuvres.
The frame offers practical adjustments and safety features, including a height-adjustable frame and foot plate, tilt-in-space with gas-assisted tilt, and independently braked castors for secure positioning. A SmartTilt Lock helps prevent accidental Trendelenburg positions, and ergonomic grip handles make controlled movement easier for carers.
The chair is upholstered with genuine Dartex fabric, chosen for durability and compatibility with most cleaning solutions used in care settings. That combination of cover and construction makes the chair well suited to acute, hospice and homecare environments, where both hygiene and comfort matter.
