Frequently Asked Questions – Configura Advance Chair
Why is the Configura Advance so comfortable?
+
The four-way stretch material throughout the chair allows the resident to immerse into the cushions, redistributing pressure across the body for exceptional comfort and reduced pressure on high-risk areas.
Can the Configura Advance chair positions be changed?
+
Yes. The chair reclines up to 130° and tilts from 0° to 37°, allowing caregivers to adjust positioning for comfort, pressure redistribution, and postural support.
Yes. Using BodyMove™ technology, the leg rest moves outward and upward to prevent knee compression. Continuous support beneath each knee eliminates gaps and helps reduce discomfort and pressure.
Can a specialty seat cushion be used with the Configura Advance?
+
Yes. Any preferred cushion sized 16”×16” or 17”×17” with a 3” depth can be inserted into the cushion well for customized comfort and pressure care.
