The Repose C-Air Bespoke Pressure Care Riser Recliner Chair for Increased ComfortThe Repose C-Air Bespoke Pressure Care Riser Recliner Chair for Increased Comfort
The Repose C-Air Bespoke Pressure Care Riser Recliner Chair for Increased Comfort is a thoughtfully engineered healthcare seating solution that brings together advanced pressure management, postural support, and highly customisable design to meet the diverse and evolving needs of users across both clinical and home care environments. Widely recognised for its adaptability and practical design, the C-Air offers a truly made-to-measure experience, allowing each chair to be specified to an individual’s exact requirements. From seat width, height and depth to back height and armrest height, every key dimension can be tailored to ensure a precise and supportive fit. This level of personalisation helps promote correct posture, improved comfort during prolonged sitting, and better overall seating outcomes. This chair is custom made - please contact the office on 01772 814555 to obtain an order form.
In addition to its dimensional flexibility, the chair also offers a range of design choices, including three armrest styles, removable arm options, and seat depth adjustment, ensuring it can be configured not only for comfort and clinical suitability but also for ease of use in everyday settings. The C-Air is available with a choice of advanced mechanisms, including Single Tilt in Space (STIS), Dual Tilt in Space (DTIS), and a Standard Dual Motor mechanism, each designed to provide smooth and supportive positioning.
These cushions not only help to distribute pressure more effectively but also support temperature regulation and reduce the build-up of moisture, contributing to improved skin integrity. Many options are particularly suited to individuals who spend extended periods seated or who may have reduced mobility or muscle mass. Profiled cushion designs are also available to help maintain pelvic positioning and prevent forward sliding, offering additional stability for those with reduced trunk control or lower limb weakness.

Further enhancing comfort and positioning, the chair offers a range of detachable headrests, each designed to support different needs, from maintaining a neutral head position during activities such as eating to providing enhanced lateral support for users with reduced neck strength or control. This flexibility ensures the chair can be configured to suit a wide variety of clinical and personal requirements.
The C-Air is particularly well suited to individuals with changing or progressive conditions, as its adaptable design allows it to remain effective over time. Its multi-positioning capabilities can assist with managing oedema and fluid retention by elevating the legs, while also supporting individuals who may experience difficulties with swallowing or postural hypotension. The chair can also play a valuable role within a 24-hour postural care programme, helping to reduce the risk of skin breakdown and supporting regular repositioning throughout the day.
In addition, its design allows users to engage more comfortably in everyday activities, supporting improved participation and overall wellbeing. Practicality has also been carefully considered, with features that support both users and carers. The chair is compatible with both mobile and overhead hoists, enabling safer transfers and improved handling. Removable covers and cushions make cleaning and maintenance straightforward, supporting long-term usability.
Optional accessories such as the Accupak rechargeable battery system allow the chair to be used without a fixed power supply, offering greater flexibility in placement within a room. Safety features, including a 20-cycle emergency back-up system and an enclosure skirt to protect the mechanism, provide added reassurance in everyday use.
With multiple size options and weight capacities available, including higher capacity models for bariatric use, the C-Air is designed to accommodate a wide range of users. Its discreet, homely appearance ensures it blends seamlessly into a variety of environments, from residential care settings to private homes, without compromising on its clinical performance. Backed by a comprehensive warranty covering structural components, mechanisms, and cushioning, the Repose C-Air offers a reliable and adaptable seating solution that combines comfort, support, and long-term usability in one carefully considered design.
Just some of the options include Viscoform, which combines a high-density foam base with a memory foam top layer to provide stability and pressure relief for those seated for extended periods. Celliform cushion incorporates a gel cell matrix that responds dynamically to weight distribution, helping to reduce pressure while also promoting airflow and temperature regulation. Liquiform introduces a fluid gel layer that adapts continuously to movement, making it suitable for users with limited muscle bulk or those at risk of weight loss. Meanwhile, Coolform uses medical-grade silicone gel technology to evenly distribute pressure while remaining odourless and hypoallergenic.
In addition to these cushioning types, options also include Easiform, Profile Viscoform, Profile Coolform and Dynaform - Alternating Air. Please refer to the seat cushioning diagram in the image gallery, and contact a member of the team if you require further information.
Durability and long-term reliability are also key considerations in the design of the Repose C-Air Bespoke Pressure Care Riser Recliner 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.
