Market guide
Fit the user, room and entry
Prove body fit and delivery geometry before comparing programsA chair that feels good for one person can miss another user's shoulders, compress the calves poorly or create an unsafe entry. Fit and the route into the room come before mechanism labels.
01
Users
Test every regular user in the exact chair
Record height, shoulder position, leg length, build, mobility, pressure preference and whether the scan and manual adjustments reach the intended areas.
- Trial
- Use several representative programs long enough to reveal pressure points, weak zones and entry or exit difficulty.
- Boundary
- Comfort is subjective and the desk does not determine medical suitability or treatment.
02
Route
Measure the boxed and assembled delivery path
Check doorway clear width, turns, stairs, elevators, thresholds, flooring and whether arms or doors can be removed under the maker's instructions.
- Weight
- Plan qualified help and equipment for a chair that can weigh 250 pounds or more.
- Return
- Read who pays disassembly, freight, restocking and damage costs before accepting delivery.
03
Room
Draw the operating and service envelope
Include recline travel, wall clearance, side entry, footrest extension, ventilation, outlet location and access for future service.
- Floor
- Keep site-specific structural and electrical judgment with qualified professionals.
- Exit
- Confirm the chair can return upright and the user can leave safely after a power interruption or fault.
