A recently trending product which the NHS’s SCBU and Neonatal departments have produced great demand for is adjustable reclining chairs as they allow parents and their newborn babies to bond and achieve optimum skin-to-skin contact. Recliner chairs have been proven to help parents feel as comfortable and confident as possible when holding their little ones and providing baby care.
Studies have shown that the NHS procure their chair products with great attention to detail with the criteria being designed with patients comfort and care in mind. Some of the features they look for in seating solutions is the correct height that will allow the patient to rest their feet comfortably and flat on the floor, when they are sitting up right. Another characteristic is the angle at the hip, which should be no less than 90 degrees. If the seat is too low, too much pressure is put on the buttocks and the base, of the spine. It may also be difficult to rise from the chair. If the seat is too high, too much pressure is put on the backs of the thighs and the feet may not reach the floor.
