Bariatric Seating
Broda understands the unique needs of long term care residents, and can offer various types of custom seating. One type of custom work that Broda provides is Bariatric seating. Broda can build chairs with seat widths up to 28" wide. We also customize seat depths, heights and back lengths.

NOTE: Please refer to our Products pages for a list of custom dimensions for each particular model.

Below are some examples of Broda's Bariatric chairs.

Seat and Back for Bariatric chairs
Double weaved strapping on seat for chairs larger than 22" Double weaved strapping on back for chairs larger than 22"

When building chairs with seat widths greater than 22", we double weave the strapping and use two or more cylinders (see above photos) to better accommodate the weight in the chair for easy tilting and reclining. The increased seat width does not limit positioning capabilities.

The weight capacity of all Broda chairs is a function of the casters. The 5" casters can each hold up to 220 lbs, and the 6" casters can hold up to 330 lbs. The total weight capacity is usually based on three casters in case of uneven terrain.

Depending on the customization, other modifications can be done to the chairs, such as changes to the padding, legrest, and footrest lengths and widths.

Customization often involves several modifications to the frame of a chair as well as the  padding. This means there may be additional costs and increased lead times for production.

For other custom dimensions and chair modifications, see our Custom Seating Page.
