3 Position Heavy Duty Bariatric Geri Chair Recliner – Premium 500 lb Support

Description

Bariatric Geri Chair Recliner

The 3 Position Heavy Duty Bariatric Geri Chair Recliner is built specifically for individuals who need extra seat width and a higher weight capacity without giving up any of the comfort or positioning versatility of a standard geri chair. Manufactured by Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare, this bariatric geri chair recliner supports users up to 500 lbs while still offering the same three-position functionality that makes geri chairs so useful in patient rooms. Motion Care Mobility supplies this heavy duty recliner to families and care facilities throughout Toronto and the GTA who need sturdy, reliable bariatric seating.

Built for Bariatric Comfort and Safety

Unlike a standard geri chair, this bariatric geri chair recliner features a wider 24.5 inch space between the armrests and reinforced construction throughout the frame to safely support significantly more weight. The overall footprint measures 47.5 inches high, 32 inches wide, and 41.5 inches deep, giving users a genuinely spacious seat without feeling cramped, while the seat itself measures 25 inches wide by 20 inches deep.

Three Positions, One Chair

Just like the standard model, this bariatric geri chair recliner adjusts between upright, deep recline, and an elevated leg rest position, with a retractable lock bar holding the chair securely in place at each setting. This versatility allows caregivers to adjust a patient’s position for meals, rest, or circulation support without needing to transfer them to a different piece of furniture throughout the day.

Suspension and Cleaning Features

Self-adjusting suspension in the seat prevents that uncomfortable bottoming-out sensation, distributing a heavier user’s weight more evenly across the cushion. Side panels pop off easily for cleaning, which is especially valuable in bariatric care settings where hygiene maintenance needs to be straightforward and thorough. A moisture barrier underneath the seat upholstery protects the internal structure of the chair from spills and seepage over time.

Mobility Without Compromise

Despite its heavier duty construction, this bariatric geri chair recliner still moves easily thanks to five inch casters, two of which include locking brakes for secure positioning. The large, blow-molded tray locks into five different positions and stores conveniently on the side of the chair when it isn’t needed, just like on the standard weight capacity model.

Specifications Worth Knowing

This bariatric geri chair recliner has an arm height of 26.5 inches from the floor and 9.5 inches from the seat, with a carton shipping weight of 127 lbs. The 500 lbs (227 kg) weight capacity makes it one of the sturdiest recliner options available for home or facility use, and the neutral-colored steel frame is designed to be easy to wipe down and maintain over years of regular use.
