Plus Range

Recognising the increasing need for bespoke plus solutions, Smirthwaite is proud to introduce a range of products designed to enhance plus sized individuals’ quality of life, making clear a difference by contributing to happier and more fulfilling lives.

From plus sized postural support chairs to heavy duty changing benches with larger weight and height requirements. Our plus range offers a selection of solutions to meet the unique needs of plus sized individuals in both school and home environments.

As with all of Smirthwaite’s products, there is a passion behind everything designed, with the intention to leave users with a ‘wow’ factor! Committed to continuous improvement in R&D, the Plus Range was developed alongside input from clinical professionals and feature additional sizes, fabric options and an option of backs.

Levitex pressure care relief technology is also applied to our seating and changing bench products; it helps correct individual’s posture and improve quality of life. The gravity defying foam technology is recommended for use in seating; it has excellent body pressure distribution and keeps soft while offering great support.

Why Plus?

Individuals with larger body sizes (in height and/or weight) require specialised care and suitable equipment, posing challenges for occupational therapists, care facilities and providers. Limited resources affect timely care delivery, schooling and care home admissions, and hospital discharges.

Developed alongside input from clinical professionals, Smirthwaite’s Plus range features a selection of plus products which are meticulously designed to enhance the quality of life for both users and carers, promoting equitable access to care and support. These designs reflect Smirthwaite’s expertise and provide numerous clinical benefits while promoting social inclusion and independence.

Each chair should be tailored to the individual user, providing proper posture support and ensuring even weight distribution on the support surface for comfort and independence. Seating should be based on the individual’s body shape and size determined during assessment to prevent potential harm. Correct chair setup influences positioning, affecting the risk of secondary issues like postural deterioration and pressure injuries. Smirthwaite plus seating therefore helps individuals achieve optimal sitting posture comfortably, engage with their surroundings, perform daily activities, and improve physiological function.

The plus range includes high specification postural support chairs and a heavy duty changing bench suitable for both school and home environments.
