This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme this year is: Action 🌟
There are lots of things we can do to take action to improve our mental health, whether this is talking to a friend, doing something relaxing, or just getting out in nature. 🌻
As seating specialists, we see this same principle in operation when it comes to specifying chairs for our clients.
❌ Poor seating, makeshift cushions, uncomfortable postures etc. become the ‘norm’, which just perpetuate discomfort and reduce quality of life.
✅ Comfortable seating should be the benchmark, which underlies every seating assessment and decision we make.
❌ Hospital wards are still putting up with hard, uncomfortable ward chairs, which discourage patients from sitting out and getting mobile again, keeping them in bed and at risk of deconditioning.
✅ Getting patients into a comfortable chair with ergonomic support like the HiBack Bedside Chair is the incentive for patients to mobilise early, speeding up recovery times.
As we see time and again in seating, it’s the desire to regain comfort and challenge the status quo that drives decision-making and ultimately leads to the best outcomes in terms of improved posture, mobility and quality of life.
If you know someone who is struggling with their current seating, take action today by getting in touch and we’ll take things from there!
