An orthopaedic chair can be an essential piece of furniture for the elderly and disabled. This is due to the extra support that is provided by this type of chair.
Orthopaedic chairs are designed for comfort and ease of use. The design is meant to support the user’s spine and skeletal system. Your orthopaedic chair will do this by supporting your lumbar region and allowing you to sit comfortably with good posture. The ergonomic design means you are less likely to slouch or hunch over.
Due to the support and sitting position, orthopaedic chairs are fantastic at reducing, or even eliminating existing aches and pains. They also do a very good job of preventing new issues from arising.
Generally, orthopaedic chairs are designed with a higher seat than a standard chair or sofa. This means they are much easier to sit in and get up from. The added height makes them much more accessible for elderly people and those with disability.
Below are our top 5 orthopaedic chairs. These chairs have been chosen based on several factors. These include the popularity of each chair, average user reviews and the price.
