With a raft of features as standard, the new bariatric option boasts high-density foam with a memory foam topper for added comfort, 45-degree tilt in space, 165-degree reclining backrest and lumbar support, as well as fully articulating powered leg rests with adjustable calf supports.

Available with seat sizes from 62cm to 82cm – with larger sizes available upon request/assessment – and with a maximum weight capacity of up to 300kg, Qimova says it also has an extensive range of control options and accessories to compliment the chair and bespoke alterations to meet clients’ specific requirements.
A new player in the UK market, Ashley Griffiths, UK Sales Director of Qimova, told THIIS: “Whilst the name of Qimova may not be completely familiar in the UK, we are a well-established and successful manufacturer in mainland Europe and the Far East, especially in Japan.”
The company is now in search of mobility dealers in the UK and is offering exclusivity in return explained Ashley.
“We are looking for a limited number of partners around the UK who we can support and work closely with to join our current family of partners/dealers,” he commented.
“Qimova offers complete and total support to our partners in promoting and growing the awareness of our range from exclusive territory and marketing to presentations and joint assessments to loan stock.”
The company also confirmed that powered high/low functionality for its new bariatric chair will be coming soon as well.
