Kirton Stirling Chair

The Kirton Stirling Chair is specifically designed for individuals with physical and learning disabilities or frail elderly people. Its primary purpose is to offer exceptional postural support and encourage a healthy, upright sitting position. The chair comes as standard with a Reflextion Foam seat module, providing superior comfort and support, but can also be fitted with the Stirling Intelligent Air Seat Module. The Intelligent Air option is suitable for those at high risk or those with up to Grade IV pressure injuries, following a clinical assessment. Effective pressure management is essential for individuals who sit for extended periods or are vulnerable to tissue damage. The Intelligent Air module sets a new benchmark in seating technology, offering superior pressure redistribution without the need for setup or re-pumping air over time. To maximise pressure-relieving benefits, all contact areas on the Kirton Stirling Chair feature a Dartex fabric. Dartex is a durable, multi-stretch, vapour-permeable fabric that is easy to clean and complements the chair’s pressure relief system. This waterproof material is available in three colour options. The non-contact upholstery is made of vinyl, which is scratch-resistant, water-resistant, and both anti-microbial and anti-fungal, making it ideal for high-use environments. The chair is designed for optimal posture and positioning with a carefully calibrated seat tilt and back angle, combined with lateral support. Its elegant design and attention to detail ensure the Stirling fits seamlessly into a variety of settings. The backrest is angled to reduce strain on the back muscles, with a raised centre that provides support for the head, neck, and shoulders. Discreet, comfortable lateral supports help relieve localised pressure and enhance stability. The chair’s well-padded arms provide support for sitting down and standing up, while its easy manoeuvrability ensures safe movement.
