Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this a hip chair versus a standard chair?
A hip chair has a higher-than-standard seat height, which reduces the amount of hip and knee bending required to sit down and stand up. This is particularly important after hip or knee surgery when bending beyond certain angles can stress the joint or risk dislocation of a new implant.

Is the footrest adjustable?
Yes. The footrest is adjustable in height from the floor, allowing users to find a comfortable lower leg position that supports proper posture and reduces pressure on the back of the thigh during extended sitting.

How do I clean the cushions?
The naugahyde upholstery is easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. This makes the chair suitable for both home use and facility rental settings where regular cleaning between users is required.

Is this chair available for rental?
The Hip Chair Deluxe is designed to be suitable for both purchase and rental use. Contact your local DME provider or home health agency to inquire about rental availability in your area.
