About This Product
The Hunter Chair Wide is a purpose-built bariatric dining and household chair designed to support clients who require greater seat width and a reinforced frame. Available in four size codes with seat widths ranging from 500mm to 650mm and weight capacities up to 300kg, it provides a safe, stable seating solution for larger users who spend extended time at the table or engaged in everyday home activities. The adjustable seat height of 470–610mm ensures the chair can be tailored to suit individual users and varying table heights, making it a versatile choice across a range of Australian home environments.
The Hunter Chair Wide features a low back orthopaedic design with a curved, padded backrest that promotes comfortable upright posture during meals and daily tasks. The armrest height of 230mm offers added support when seated, and the champagne vinyl upholstery is both easy to clean and highly durable for everyday use. With a seat depth of 450mm and back height of 455mm, the chair comfortably accommodates a range of body proportions without compromise.

For eligible NDIS participants, this chair may be fundable under the Assistive Technology support category depending on individual plan goals and functional needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are low back chairs designed for?
Low back chairs are designed for people who need comfortable, supportive seating for extended periods but do not require a high back chair or full postural support system. They are commonly used by elderly individuals, people with mild mobility limitations, or those recovering from surgery who spend much of their day seated. The lower back height makes it easier to transfer in and out of the chair compared to high back alternatives.
Can a low back chair be funded through NDIS or Aged Care?
Yes. Low back chairs and day chairs are fundable under NDIS Assistive Technology or Aged Care Home Care Packages when recommended by an occupational therapist as part of a seating and positioning assessment. Our team can provide NDIS-compliant invoices and assist with the funding process. Contact us on 1300 216 888.
What is the difference between a low back chair and a high back chair?
A low back chair has a seat back that ends around the mid or upper back, making it easier to transfer and more suited to people with reasonable trunk control. A high back chair extends to the shoulders or head, providing greater postural support for people with limited trunk control or those who need head support. An occupational therapist can assess which level of support is most appropriate.
How do I choose the right size chair?
The correct seat width and depth depend on the user's body dimensions. As a guide, seat width should be 2–3 cm wider than the user's hips to allow comfortable positioning without pressure on the sides. Seat depth should allow the user to sit with their back against the backrest while leaving a 2–3 finger gap behind the knee. Contact our team for guidance on sizing before purchase.
What is the return policy?
Returns are accepted within 30 days for products in original, unused condition. If a product arrives faulty or incorrect, we will resolve it promptly. We recommend confirming dimensions and NDIS funding eligibility with our team before purchasing.
