How do I know if I need a Soteria highback chair?
Aging people continue to get frailer and frailer as the years go by. Because of that, most of them sit in an unsupported position, which can lead to:
- Soft tissues
- Misalignment of bones
- Restriction in movement
- Impaired breathing
If a person’s abilities are compromised by illness, it is often the case that voluntary movements become harder to do. Also, gravity traps them in unhealthy postures.
To prevent these things from happening to your loved ones, always put your loved ones in the correct seating posture. It will help them feel comfortable, boost their safety, and make them more interactive and happy.
Such a goal is achievable through the specialist highback chairs from Soteria. Each of these chairs features a multi-position backrest that allows the user to relax in the ideal relaxation position.
These chairs have adjustable height, which further boosts their ability to provide comfort in different positions. The seatback height and seat base depth are both adjustable.
The Mobility Caring agency also supplies lift chairs and lift chair accessories. A lift chair can help your loved one go to a standing position without exerting much effort.
So, you can also consider buying these steel chairs if your mobility-challenged relatives have difficulty coming to a standing position. Aluminium chairs for the elderly are also available in Mobility Caring, so check them out if you prefer this type of material. They're an excellent type of aged care equipment.
To provide added support, consider purchasing mobility chair accessories for your beloved, including:

- Pillow
These accessories are designed to improve comfort and quality of life with better pressure relief, posture, and fall prevention. Soteria high back chairs come with leg rests that may be purchased separately for added leg support.
How do you sit on a Soteria highback chair?
To have your loved ones seated properly on a highback chair, they should be in an ergonomic sitting position. The ergonomic sitting position is when you have both of your feet flat on the floor.
Having both of your feet flat on the floor keeps your pelvis balanced and makes it easier to arch your lower back. Also, your elbows should form an L-shape at the joints.
The Soteria highback chair features a contoured seat, which means the foam seat has slopes and curves on it, rather than being flat. Besides the high level of comfort that it provides, foamed seats support the health of senior people.
The health benefits of foamed seats include:
- Less compression on the body.
- Aids blood circulation
- Improves digestion
How do I choose a Soteria highback chair?
There are things to check when picking the best high back chairs for your elderly loved ones, including:
Supportive backrest for comfort
Ensuring comfort is the top priority for picking a highback chair for the elderly. If the chair is uncomfortable for a person to use, all the other factors lose value.
Adjustability
Adjustable parts of a chair allow it to meet the changing needs of your elderly relative.
Superb pressure management
Pressure management throughout the chair can ensure comfort and reduce the risk of your loved ones developing pressure ulcers.
Head Support
People who have poor head control need extra head support. Check the chair if it also offers support for the spine and neck. Poor head control can also lead to poor breathing and feeding.
Lateral Supports
Lateral supports are meant to provide proper body posture and positioning. Proper positioning is needed to ensure that bodily functions are unhampered.
Footrest
Nineteen percent of the body’s weight goes through the feet while a person sits. Therefore, an added leg rest can be beneficial, especially for people with mobility issues. With such an add-on accessory, they have something on which they can load and rest their feet.
What is the best seat height for the elderly?
A seat height in the range of 40 cm to 53 cm off the floor works for most people. Such a range allows users to have their feet flat on the floor. Also, the thigh of the user is horizontal, and arms are level with the height of a desk or table.
Adjust the seat height of your high back chair to bring it to a point where it does not cause too much pressure on the body. To measure the seat height, record the distance between the floor and the top of the seat.
The correct height allows achieving the position where the user’s feet are level on the floor, and the knees and the hips are at right angles between each other.
Make sure that the depth is not too long because that will lead to insufficient support at the bottom of the spine. It may also cause the user to slide out of the chair.
What is a Soteria day chair?
Soteria high back chairs for the elderly are height-adjustable chairs that are also designed to provide comfortable sitting positions for persons with limited mobility.
These chairs have a curved back design and sturdy frame, which are important features for ensuring the safety of your loved ones. The overhanging arms of these chairs provide users the ability to sit and get up with greater ease.
What materials are Soteria highback chairs made of?
Soteria highback chairs feature foam-padded seats, backrests, and armrests. The base material that adorns these chairs is premium vinyl designed to provide the utmost comfort to the user.

What is the difference between Soteria high back and low back chairs?
The difference between these types of mobility chairs is in terms of the support they provide. A high back chair for elderly provides users support for the upper back, neck, and shoulders.
On the other hand, low to mid-back chairs support the lower to the middle of the user’s back.
Anyone on the petite side would find low to mid-back chairs as ideal chairs for them. A high back chair might feel overwhelming to them.
The most noticeable part of a high back chair is its headrest, which makes it appear slightly taller, and when compared to other options, high back chairs offer more adjustment options.
Soteria high back chairs have backrests that are either 72 cm or 73 cm in height.
