The Kingsbridge
The Kingsbridge
Supporting Positioning, Rest and Recovery
The Kingsbridge is a rise and recline chair designed to support individuals who need to remain seated for extended periods, including those who require a near flat or sleeping position. It provides controlled recline up to 85°, supporting comfort and positioning during prolonged sitting or rest.
The chair includes a safety feature that allows the user to be quickly repositioned into a recovery position where required.
Given the potential for extended use, the Kingsbridge is designed with consideration for pressure management and postural support. Cushioned wings and full-length lower limb support help maintain alignment and promote even weight distribution. Vapour‑permeable, waterproof fabrics combine durability with a low‑friction surface to help minimise shear.
A drop-arm option is available on either or both sides of the chair to support side transfers and improve access.

Recovery position function
The dual motor Trendelenburg mechanism allows the chair to be reclined quickly into a recovery position where required.
Drop-arm option
A drop-arm facility can be specified on either or both sides to support side transfers and improve access.
Low-friction, waterproof fabrics
Vapour‑permeable, waterproof fabrics provide durability while incorporating a low‑friction surface to help minimise shear.
Pressure management
The fixed seat module includes medium-risk reflex foam as standard, with the option to accommodate higher-risk gel solutions.
Supportive arm and back design
Padded arms and a supportive backrest contribute to improved positioning and overall comfort during use.
The Kingsbridge is suitable for individuals who require supportive seating for extended periods, including those who may need to rest or sleep in a reclined position.
It may be appropriate for individuals with:
- Prolonged sitting or sleeping needs, requiring a near flat recline
- Postural support requirements, particularly when seated for extended periods
- Pressure management needs, including those at risk during longer durations of sitting
- Reduced mobility, requiring assistance with repositioning and transfers
- Fatigue or reduced endurance, benefiting from changes in position
- Increased risk of falls, where controlled movement and stable support are important
- Seizure-related conditions, where rapid repositioning into a recovery position may be required
It may be suitable for individuals living with neurological conditions, frailty, or other long-term health needs where these functional challenges are present.
The Kingsbridge is suitable for a range of settings where extended sitting, rest, or near-flat positioning may be required, including:
Care homes and residential settings
Supports individuals who may require prolonged periods of seated or reclined positioning, with features to assist comfort, rest, and safer transfers.
Hospital and clinical environments
Appropriate where positioning, pressure management, and the ability to achieve a near flat recline are important considerations.
Home environments
Provides a supportive option for individuals who may need to spend extended time in the chair, including those who rest or sleep in a reclined position. Drop-arm options support access and transfers.
Rehabilitation and specialist settings
Suitable for environments where individuals may require adaptable positioning to support recovery, comfort, and changing needs over time.
Community and shared settings
Offers a practical seating option for individuals with varying needs, particularly where longer periods of sitting and additional support may be required.
The Kingsbridge provides flexible support across care environments where comfort, positioning, and extended use are key considerations.
