Repose Multi Bari Bariatric Rise Recliner for Comfort and Pressure Management ControlRepose Multi Bari Bariatric Rise Recliner for Comfort and Pressure Management Control
The Repose Multi Bari Bariatric Rise Recliner for Comfort and Pressure Management Control has been thoughtfully developed to meet the complex seating requirements of individuals who need a higher capacity chair without compromising on comfort, adaptability, or postural support. This bespoke bariatric seating solution is carefully tailored to suit individual needs, combining robust engineering with a wide range of configurable features that work together to promote effective pressure management and improved posture. At the heart of its design is a commitment to delivering consistent comfort while supporting safe and practical movement for both the user and carers in everyday environments. This chair is custom made - please contact the office on 01772 814555 to obtain an order form.
Central to the chair’s functionality is the standard dual motor mechanism, which provides independent control of the backrest and leg rest. This allows users to achieve a wide range of supportive and relaxing positions, from sitting upright with the leg rest elevated to ease tired legs, through to a fully reclined resting position for extended comfort. The flexibility offered by the two motors ensures that the user can fine-tune their posture, particularly around hip flexion, helping to maintain comfort while also addressing specific health requirements. The leg elevation function plays an important role in supporting circulation, assisting in the reduction of oedema and fluid retention in the lower limbs. By reducing fluid build-up, the chair can help users maintain their ability to stand and walk more effectively.
Adding to the chair’s comfort and pressure-relieving qualities is the thoughtfully designed chaise seat cover. This full-length seat design helps to minimise pinch points that can occur during reclining, reducing the risk of pressure areas developing. The inclusion of a memory foam insert enhances comfort further by contouring to the user’s shape and providing a supportive seating surface. Both the chaise cover and memory foam insert can be removed for cleaning or replacement, ensuring the chair remains hygienic and well-maintained over time.
The Repose Multi Bari also incorporates made-to-measure seating options, allowing adjustments to seat height, width, and depth. These tailored dimensions ensure that the chair fits the user correctly, supporting proper posture and reducing the likelihood of discomfort or pressure-related issues. A well-adjusted seat height ensures that the user’s feet are positioned flat on the floor while maintaining full contact between the thighs and the seat cushion. The seat width supports stable pelvic positioning while allowing sufficient room for movement and clothing variations, and the seat depth ensures adequate thigh support without placing pressure behind the knees.

One of the defining features of the Multi Bari is its extensive range of interchangeable seat and back cushions. With a selection of pressure management seat cushions available, the chair can be configured to suit varying levels of comfort, stability, and clinical need. From soft, supportive foam options designed for general use to advanced gel and alternating air cushions for those at higher risk of pressure damage, each option has been developed to provide targeted support. These cushions not only enhance comfort but also play a vital role in maintaining skin integrity and promoting healthy circulation.
Just some of the options include Coolform that 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, Firmaform, Viscoform, 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.
In addition to its seating and postural features, the chair has been designed with practical details that enhance everyday usability. The armrests are extra flat and wide, providing a stable surface that supports upper limb weight and helps reduce strain on joints and muscles. This is particularly beneficial for users who rely on their arms for repositioning or support when standing. A handset loop and deep side pocket are positioned conveniently on the right-hand side of the chair, offering easy access to controls and storage for personal items. For users who prefer an alternative setup, these can be specified on the left-hand side during ordering.
Durability and ease of movement are also key considerations in the design of the Repose Multi Bari. Heavy-duty glides come as standard, allowing the chair to be repositioned when needed while maintaining stability during use. The chair’s construction supports a high weight capacity, making it suitable for bariatric users in both domestic and healthcare settings. Safety is further enhanced by features such as the enclosure skirt, which helps prevent access to the internal mechanism during operation.
The adaptability of the Repose Multi Bari makes it suitable for use as part of a broader 24-hour postural care programme. Its ability to support a wide range of positions throughout the day helps reduce prolonged pressure and encourages regular repositioning, which is essential in maintaining skin integrity. By enabling users to sit comfortably for longer periods while still being able to change position easily, the chair supports both comfort and functional independence in daily activities such as eating, reading, or socialising.
Maintenance has also been carefully considered, with removable covers and cushions allowing for straightforward cleaning. This ensures that the chair can be kept hygienic in environments where cleanliness is essential. The availability of interchangeable components also means that the chair can adapt over time as the user’s needs change, making it a practical long-term investment.
Overall, the Repose Multi Bari Bariatric Rise Recliner offers a comprehensive seating solution that brings together comfort, support, and flexibility. Its carefully considered features address the unique challenges associated with bariatric seating, while its adjustable design ensures that each user can achieve a personalised level of comfort and support. By combining advanced pressure management options, tailored sizing, and intuitive movement, it provides a reliable and effective seating solution that enhances daily living for both users and carers.
Durability and long-term reliability are also key considerations in the design of the Repose Multi Bari Bariatric Rise Recliner Chair for Comfort and Pressure Management. 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.
