Advice from the showroom floor
Will the Chicago suit you?
The Chicago is a single motor riser recliner that suits care homes and busy family homes as well as a quiet lounge. It can be ordered in wipe-clean anti-microbial PVC, it is Crib 5 tested, and the handset works only with its safety key in place. Two handsets are supplied: three buttons for rise and recline, two buttons for recline only.
The seat is padded with memory foam and measures 50 cm wide. Try the height, depth and both handsets in a showroom, and we will help with sizing and fabric choice. Call 0800 169 1910 ahead of your visit and we will have one ready.
