Why We Recommend the Boston
We recommend the Boston because it offers exceptional flexibility for managing posture and pressure care in both home and clinical environments.
The independent Tilt-in-Space, backrest recline, and leg elevation allow users to be repositioned throughout the day without increasing shear forces or compromising posture. This makes the chair particularly beneficial for individuals who are unable to independently shift their weight or who require structured pressure management support.
With interchangeable cushions, adjustable supports, and multiple positioning options, the Boston can be adapted to suit each individual and evolve as needs change. This makes it a reliable seating solution for long-term care while helping carers maintain safe and effective positioning.
Ideal For
The Boston is well suited for individuals who require supported seating, pressure management, and regular repositioning throughout the day. It is commonly recommended for:
-
Individuals with neurological conditions such as MS, MND, Parkinson’s disease, or post-stroke weakness
-
Users who are unable to independently reposition and require assisted movement for pressure relief
-
Individuals at risk of pressure injury or skin breakdown
-
People requiring Tilt-in-Space positioning as part of a 24-hour postural management programme
-
Users with reduced trunk control or postural stability who require additional back support
-
Residential care, hospital, and home care environments where safe repositioning and comfort are priorities
This type of seating is particularly valuable where pressure care, posture support, and safe assisted repositioning are essential to maintaining comfort and long-term wellbeing.
