Advanced Seating

Advanced Seating Therapeutic seating designed for comfort & early mobilisation. Official Seating Matters distributor for Connacht and Munster, rentals, parts & sales.

Seating has a dramatic impact on people's lives - especially for those who sit for prolonged periods of time. Too many people continue to endure constant pain and suffering because of poor posture and reduced quality of life from completely avoidable ulcers. Proper seating can solve these problems. If we can help you, a loved one or a patient please get in touch and our trained Seating Specialist would be delighted to visit and offer advice.

Advanced Seating and Seating Matters were invited to present at the Geriatrics Journal Club in University Hospital Galway this week.

The team shared examples of the importance of clinical seating in acute settings and the positive outcomes that can be achieved when the right seating solution is introduced for the right person at the right time.

There are many benefits of enhanced seating from supporting patient comfort and positioning, to helping reduce falls and pressure injury risks. There are also important considerations around staff safety and helping improve patient flow in busy hospitals.

Our thanks to all involved in organising the session, it was great to be asked to share our clinical knowledge, research and experience.

We'd also like to thank the attendees for the interesting discussions during the Q&A, great to meet all the "Seating Champions" in this group, we're looking forward to the next visit already.

Sometimes, the right seating can change far more than posture.

A community Occupational Therapist contacted Hugh after visiting a long-standing client whose condition had deteriorated significantly. The lady was leaning heavily to one side, with her head resting on her chest, and her carers were struggling to help her eat.

Hugh happened to be nearby and arrived within the hour. With the OT, he trialled a Phoenix chair that was available in his van.

After carefully adjusting the chair, they were able to support the lady’s shoulders, head and overall posture. The difference was immediate: she was able to take food again.

Although non-verbal, she gave a clear thumbs-up to show that she felt comfortable.

One week later, she was still eating and maintaining a much better position. Two months on, she now has her own Phoenix chair, is gaining weight and is noticeably more alert.

Her underlying condition has not changed, but her comfort, positioning and ability to eat have.
Her family told us they believe the intervention that day saved her life. That is something our team feels deeply proud of.

This story is a powerful reminder that specialist seating is never simply about providing a chair. It is about understanding the person, identifying what is preventing them from participating in everyday life, and finding a solution that supports comfort, dignity and independence.

David Hussey had the pleasure of delivering a seating demonstration for Occupational Therapists in the Midlands.

The session featured Seating Matters and Posicare by Seating Matters chairs, giving the OTs an opportunity to explore the different functions, adjustments and clinical considerations behind each seating solution.

These practical demonstrations are a valuable way to share knowledge, discuss real-world seating challenges and support clinicians in identifying solutions that can improve comfort, posture and independence.

A big thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the conversation.

One of the most rewarding moments for our team isn't delivering a chair.

It's seeing what happens afterwards.

A client enjoys a family meal again.

A resident joins activities instead of staying in bed.

A carer notices transfers becoming safer and easier.

A smile returns.

Specialist seating isn't about equipment.

It's about restoring confidence, dignity and participation in everyday life.

Every assessment starts with one simple question:

"What matters most to this person?"

Because when seating is personalised, lives change.

“Really comprehensive, high-quality teaching with a huge focus on practical application.” 👏

We were delighted to welcome Mairead Murray, Lecturer in Occupational Therapy at the University of Galway, to our Seating Matters training day. Hearing how clinicians value the balance of research, real-life case studies, and hands-on learning reminds us why education is such an important part of improving outcomes in seating and positioning.

At Advanced Seating, we believe the right seating doesn’t just improve posture - it can positively impact a person’s overall health, wellbeing, comfort, and independence.

Thank you, Mairead, for sharing your experience and for your passion for advancing clinical practice. 💙

Last week, Hugh and Tom were delighted to attend the RAFT (Rehabilitation and Trauma) Network Meeting at the Mater Hospital

The event brought together multidisciplinary trauma and rehabilitation professionals from across Ireland and Northern Ireland to share service developments, research, clinical experiences, and best practice in trauma care.

From trauma service updates and poly-trauma case discussions to presentations on long-term outcomes following major trauma and follow-up services, the day highlighted the importance of collaboration in improving patient journeys from acute care through to community reintegration.

These events provide invaluable opportunities to listen, learn, and engage with the clinicians who work tirelessly to support people through recovery and rehabilitation. As a company committed to improving comfort, posture, mobility, and independence, we are proud to be part of conversations that focus on better outcomes for patients.

A sincere thank you to the organisers, speakers, and attendees for an insightful and inspiring day.
