Two layer construction permits different sized users to rest into contour for better pressure dispersion, second layer foam is designed to greatly reduce pelvic titling which relieves discomfort of the hips, legs, and spine.

Overall Dimensions

Caster Circle

Kare® uses a wider base (27") for extra stability when adjustable seat depth is fully extended. We tested a base that was 25 1/2" on other manufacturers chairs and found that when a user sat in the middle of the chair and pulled the chair forward to work area that the chair had a tendency to tip over. Our base does not tip over because of the extra stability the wide base adds.

Optional 4" cylinder available for shorter users, lowers chair 1.5". or cylinder for taller users.
