The Madison Express Chair for Advanced Dual Tilt-in-Space Positioning and Pressure Care is a thoughtfully engineered healthcare seating solution designed to deliver exceptional levels of comfort, pressure management, and postural support across a wide range of user requirements. At the core of its design is an advanced dual tilt-in-space mechanism, enabling simultaneous and independent movement of the backrest and leg rest while maintaining a consistent seat-to-back angle. This intelligent functionality allows for effective redistribution of body weight, helping to reduce pressure on key areas such as the ischial tuberosities while promoting improved posture and overall seated comfort. By maintaining a constant seating angle during tilt, the chair minimises shear and friction forces, which are often associated with prolonged seating, making it particularly suitable for individuals who require extended periods of seated support.
The dual tilt-in-space system works in harmony with a rise function, which gently tilts the seat forward as it elevates. This forward motion shifts weight towards the knees while reducing pressure on the hips, assisting the user in transitioning to a standing position more smoothly and safely. This feature is particularly valuable in care environments where ease of transfers is essential, supporting both the user and the carer. Additionally, the tilt function can be beneficial during sling transfers, as it uses gravity to encourage optimal pelvic positioning, helping the user sit securely at the back of the chair for improved posture and comfort.
A defining feature of the Madison Express Chair is its exceptional adaptability. It offers a wide selection of interchangeable seating components, including five different seat cushion options and six back cushion styles. This modular approach allows the chair to be tailored to meet individual postural and pressure care needs, and importantly, enables easy adjustments over time as requirements change. This flexibility supports extended product lifespan and makes the chair suitable for multi-user environments or evolving care needs without the necessity of replacing the entire chair.
The seat cushion range has been carefully developed to address varying levels of pressure care requirements. A variety of options are available (some on request).
The Viscoform cushion combines a high-density foam base with a memory foam top layer, providing a supportive yet adaptive surface that allows the user to sink slightly into the cushion, increasing surface contact area and reducing pressure points. The Liquiform cushion introduces a fluid gel layer that adapts continuously to movement while helping to dissipate heat, making it suitable for those with reduced muscle mass or at risk of weight loss. For individuals requiring more advanced pressure care, the Coolform cushion uses medical-grade silicone gel technology to distribute pressure evenly while maintaining a neutral temperature and allowing airflow through its structure. The Celliform option incorporates a unique gel cell matrix that contours dynamically to the user, redistributing pressure while promoting airflow and reducing heat build-up, with the added reassurance of clinical and dermatological testing. For users at very high risk of pressure damage, the Dynaform alternating air cushion provides a dynamic solution, continuously adjusting air levels within its cells to simulate natural body movement, ensuring ongoing pressure redistribution throughout use.
Practicality and ease of maintenance are integral to the chair’s design. All cushions and covers are removable, making cleaning and replacement straightforward, which is particularly important in care settings. The use of fabrics with four-way stretch properties is recommended to further reduce shear and friction, enhancing overall user comfort. The chair is designed to support users up to 127kg (20 stone), with a leg rest weight capacity of 57kg (9 stone), while certain cushion options have their own specific weight guidelines to ensure optimal performance.
Key FeaturesThe Madison Express Chair also includes a range of thoughtful features to enhance usability. A loop on the right-hand arm provides a convenient grip point for repositioning, while the integrated Accupak rechargeable battery system allows the chair to be operated without a constant connection to mains power. This enables greater flexibility in room placement and reduces trailing cables, contributing to a safer and more adaptable environment. The battery system offers approximately 100 adjustment cycles per charge and can be easily recharged via a discreetly integrated charging point.
Durability and long-term reliability are also key considerations in the design of the Boston Porter Express Chair. The product is supported by a comprehensive warranty, including five years of cover on the structural frame, mechanical components, and cushioning, and two years on upholstery and stitching. This reflects confidence in its construction and suitability for frequent use in both residential and professional care environments.
There is also a Five-Year Accidental Damage and Stain Protection Case Plan but this is available at an additional cost, *non-commercial only.
