The Ashburton is a bariatric rise and recline chair designed for adults who need higher weight capacity, stronger support, and comfortable positioning at home or in a care environment. It combines a robust frame with supportive features to help you feel stable when seated and more confident during transfers.

Powered functions help you recline for rest, and rise to standing with controlled movement, supporting independence and reducing strain for carers.

Bariatric weight capacity up to 40 stone (254 kg), with a leg lift system rated to 25 stone (158 kg) for reliable lower-limb support.
Powered rise and recline functions to allow controlled transitions between sitting, reclining and standing.
Tilt and recline functions to promote comfort and pressure redistribution when you need to change position.
Robust, supportive arms that help you feel secure and enable safer transfers and repositioning.
Reflex foam seat cushion as standard, designed for consistent support and long-term comfort.
Vapour-permeable, waterproof upholstery options with a low-friction surface to help reduce shear and support skin health.
Integrated battery backup, so you can return the chair to a safe position during a power cut.
Configurable set-up, so seating functions can be tailored to your posture and pressure management needs.

The Ashburton may suit you if you need a bariatric rise and recline chair that provides higher weight capacity, stronger support, and more stable, comfortable positioning at home. People often choose a bariatric riser recliner like the Ashburton when they:

Need a chair designed for plus-sized adults, with a higher weight capacity and a more supportive seating platform
Want greater seated stability and support during transfers and repositioning
Live with joint pain or stiffness, including osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, and want powered rising and reclining to reduce strain
Experience reduced mobility, balance concerns, or a higher falls risk, where controlled sit-to-stand support can help
Need to change position regularly, or sit for longer periods, and want comfort and pressure management options
Live with a neurological condition, including multiple sclerosis, where positioning needs can vary day to day

If you are unsure which bariatric solution is right for you, we can help you choose the correct size and set-up, including posture support and pressure management options where appropriate.
