Fitting / Adjusting Backrest Pillows

There are three backrest pillows fitted to the chair using the hook and loop 

fasteners on the backrest. The middle and bottom pillows are the same 

size and can be interchanged. The top pillow is a different size and must 

always be used in the top position.

The middle and lower pillows can be re-arranged depending on the needs 
of the user. The pillows can be positioned vertically instead of horizontally 
as shown below:

Pillow Filling Adjustment

The pillow filling quantity can be adjusted to improve user comfort. If a 

pillow needs to be adjusted, please contact your Prescriber  
or Service personnel.

Using other Mobility Aids with the Chair  (Comfort 1 only)

The Configura

®

 Comfort 1 Chair has been designed to enable other 

mobility aids, such as transfer aids or hoists to be used with the chair. 
When using any other product with the chair a full risk assessment must be 
carried out and the instructions for use of the equipment must be adhered 
to.

If a transfer aid is being used which requires access below the chair, 
the chair must be raised sufficiently to permit the legs of the transfer 
aid to be slid under the chair.
