Tips for serious seating

The wrong seat on your powerchair can easily lead to pressure injuries. Ongoing basic discomfort can develop into longer lasting problems. Magic Mobility takes your seat very seriously – and we shape things around you and what you need.

Keith Boyd’s family were concerned about his comfort needs as he grew, and they took to heart his need for a serious seat.

“It was important to us to keep Keith supported and comfortable for years to come,” explained his mother, Erin. “When we got his seating adjusted by Magic Mobility’s agents in the US I could see that it was going to be able to accommodate his ever-complex, growing seating needs for years to come.”

1. Taking the weight off with postural support

We like to work around you. The Magic Mobility Maximum Postural Support seating system provides the comfort and support you need. This is a whole-body seating system, which takes into account your individual needs.
