Dual Motor Tilt in Space Mechanism
The Health Care Express 1 features a dual motor tilt in space mechanism, allowing the leg rest and backrest to be adjusted independently while maintaining excellent pressure redistribution and postural support.
Tilt in space technology helps keep the body properly positioned as the chair reclines, making it particularly beneficial for users who spend extended periods seated or who require elevated leg positioning.
If you would like to learn more about how tilt in space mechanisms compare with other riser recliner mechanisms, see our riser recliner mechanism guide.
Pressure Care & Postural Support
The Health Care Express 1 has been developed specifically for healthcare environments and users with more complex seating requirements.
A medium risk pressure care cushion comes as standard, while the interchangeable seat module allows high-risk pressure cushions to be fitted if required. The removable seat and back cushions also make cleaning and maintenance straightforward.
The three-tier waterfall back provides excellent comfort and can be particularly beneficial for users with kyphosis, scoliosis or other postural requirements. Zipped rear access allows minor fibre adjustments to further improve comfort and support.
Suitable for Home & Care Environments
The Health Care Express 1 is equally at home in private residences, care homes, nursing homes and other healthcare settings.
Its removable cushions provide easy access for deep cleaning, while the robust arm structure and healthcare-grade upholstery ensure long-term durability even in demanding environments.
Healthcare Upholstery
The chair is upholstered in carefully selected healthcare fabrics designed to maximise comfort, hygiene and durability.
The inner upholstery uses vapour permeable Dartex fabric, which is breathable, waterproof and designed to work effectively with pressure-relieving cushions. The outer fabric is Highland Steel by Panaz, a durable healthcare upholstery that is antimicrobial, waterproof, stain resistant and easy to clean.
This combination provides an attractive finish while remaining suitable for both domestic and clinical settings.
