Click the icons below to explore the freedom the Independence ChairTM offers you.
Power and manual height adjustments allow users to raise and lower themselves while dicing ingredients at the kitchen counter, cooking on the stove, or reaching once-challenging overhead cabinets.
The chairs are uniquely designed and made in Denmark, meaning they have the highest quality materials that Scandinavian furniture is widely known for. They also come in five different colors: onyx black, ruby red, midnight blue, dove grey, and charcoal grey.
The 22-degree recline feature (available on the Independence Chair™ Plus only) allows the individual to use the model as a personal easy chair or recliner.
The back of the chair can be adjusted for anterior or posterior support based on needs. Having only four castors prevents any impediments while in motion.
A welded steel frame offers continuous support and does not bend with age. Batteries should last at least one year (but users have reported them lasting up to five), and the chair itself may be used for as many as 20 years!
The seat material is abrasion resistant, water resistant, and conforms to the individual’s body with elastic durability similar to memory foam.
Four-inch castors provide exceptional ease of movement over most floor surfaces so users can foot propel across a room.
Extension cords are not needed, as it operates on a 24-hour battery system that can be charged overnight. The chair does not need to be plugged in for use, so there’s no risk tripping over loose cords.
Easily attached or removed accessories—such as our durable seat protector, foot lock, or companion bar—are available for further convenience and customization. A special foot ring is also available to achieve a proper sitting posture and rest feet while in a high-sitting position. When the foot ring isn’t needed, it easily folds away.
A two-wheel locking system creates stability while stationary to offer peace of mind during exit and entry, while moveable armrests facilitate ease of lateral transfer. This also allows for people to use the chair as a leaning post or for additional support.

| Leg Design Why is this important?
With a 5-leg star configuration, one leg is often interfering with foot propelling, which limits movement and can risk heel damage. A raised 4-leg configuration allows the user to move safely and easily with free foot motion. The 4-leg flared design features a welded steel frame that disperses weight evenly across the chair, ensuring the user is centered, stable, and safe.

| Wheel Castor Height Why is this important?
Higher castors and rubber wheels are of exceptional quality further ensuring the comfort, safety, and movement of the Independence Chair™.

| Seat Design Why is this important?
Waterfall-front seats curve down along the front edge, opening the area behind the knee for easier foot propelling. Standard seat designs can put pressure behind the knee and limit circulation to lower legs.

| Anterior Seat Why is this important?
A slight anterior tilt supports the posture needed to safely and comfortably propel the chair. This feature also opens up the diaphragm, allowing for better pulmonary function and proper organ alignment while preventing hyperextension of the neck.

| Wheel Locks Why is this important?
Wheel locks allow the user to keep the chair in place when exiting and entering the chair, preventing unsafe movement and migration of the chair. They also provide extra support for weight-bearing activities.
