The Repose Boston is a versatile healthcare recliner designed to provide effective pressure management and postural support for people who spend long periods seated. It is available in both manual and powered versions, with the same range of seating movements in each. The difference lies purely in operation: the powered version is electrically powered from your standard household wall socket, or for remote use via a rechargeable battery pack.
Those functions include independent tilt in space, independent backrest recline, and independent leg rest adjustment. Tilt in space is used to reduce pressure and maintain posture without changing hip angle, while the reclining backrest allows a more relaxed position for rest or repositioning. The leg rest is gently profiled to support the lower limbs and reduce the risk of legs slipping forward.
A wide range of pressure management options is available. Seat cushions can be specified in memory foam, gel or air, depending on pressure risk and comfort needs. Backrests and headrests can be selected to suit different levels of support, and additional wedges can be used to fine-tune the backrest shape. Thicker footplate pads can also be added for deeper, softer foot support. The Boston’s modular design allows these elements to be changed over time as needs evolve.
The chair is available as an Express model for quicker delivery, which is often used where a supportive porter chair is needed promptly. A Made to Measure version is usually preferred where a more precise fit or a wider choice of fabrics is important. A Boston Junior variant is also available in smaller sizes for younger users.
Overall, the Boston suits people who need a supportive, adaptable recliner for long periods of sitting, particularly where pressure management and regular repositioning are important. It is not intended as a mobile seating solution and is best used as a static or portered chair within a care environment.
The Boston sits within a wider family of products available from Repose Furniture. To view their full range please visit their website.
