Adjustable Contoured Seating

Matrix Seating comprises interlocking components fitted together to create a custom contoured seating solution.

The nature of the design means that there is potential to adjust the shape of an existing seat in the field, and it is also possible to extend the seat or back by adding additional components or reducing support by removing them.

For additional strength and interfacing into a wheelchair, Matrix Seating is usually reinforced with a tubular frame.

Customisable Design

Our experienced clinical team have many years of experience working with matrix seating, creating tailored seating solutions for your specific needs. We can construct matrix seats with integral areas of flexibility or strength as required by the user.

Matrix seating is often used for individuals that suffer from the effects of overheating or require their seating to adjust over time.

Our clinical staff can maintain your seating over its lifespan, adjusting it to suit your needs as necessary.

All our seats are supplied with 2 sets of fabric covers and a pelvic positioning belt. We have a range of chest harnesses, headrests and footrests. For those that require additional support, we offer the ability to custom design any of these components.

The final seat is designed to suit your clinical and environmental needs, and we aim to make the seat as compact, stable and secure as possible.

This seat is easy to interface to several commonly used wheelbases.

Personalise your unique seating solution

SHAPE Matrix Seating Systems offers maximum comfort and functionality, achieved by completing a thorough clinical and environmental assessment.

A physical evaluation is also completed and includes joint movement and range, sitting balance, alignment and flexibility of the spinal column, including the head and neck.

Many other individual practical needs and restrictions are also considered at this stage, such as skin condition, pain, spasticity, vision, reflexes, eating needs, toileting needs, breathing, transfer methods, communication needs and other factors that affect positioning.

If you benefit from a custom moulded seat, we can provide a complete service from assessment to delivery.
