Searching for the Best Office Chair for Disabled Adults?

Sadly, conventional office chairs often fail to provide the extra comfort and support that those with a disability need to perform their jobs optimally. Rather than being handicap-friendly, some chairs are less adaptable to your body than others. 

For all those reasons, we designed the VELA Chair – a testament to the fact that you can “reinvent the wheel” when it comes to office chairs for disabled workers. By prioritizing disability in the workplace, we ensure that our chairs cater specifically to the unique needs of disabled adults, fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment.

Disabled Office Chair or Conventional Office Chair: Which Should You Choose?

When compared to your average, run-of-the-mill office chair, the pluses of having an office chair for disabled persons from VELA are many. This is how our handicap office chairs stack up versus the competition: 

Because most conventional office chairs are made using a cookie-cutter approach, handicapped users often experience discomfort during the work day. Our office chairs for handicapped adults are adjustable, ensuring an individualized fit that delivers all-day comfort and support when and where it’s needed most.

Find the Perfect Chair for You

A Powerful Office Chair for Disabled Adults

Safely navigating around office furniture and coworkers can be intimidating with a standard chair. A VELA Chair empowers you by helping you efficiently move about the workplace without bumping into objects or people. Its four, smooth-running wheels, built-in electric lift, and secure braking system ensure that you remain independent starting on day one. You can even use it as a handicap aid for the bathroom.

Don’t Compromise

Conventional office chairs may restrict access to certain areas of your workspace, while trying to adjust the seat height with a traditional gas spring can be labor- intensive. At the touch of a button, the electric height adjustment feature on our office chair puts everything within your reach, from upper breakroom shelves to lower desk drawers and everything in-between.

Standard office chairs can also restrict your independence while requiring you to ask others to help you move around. Trying to go it alone also depletes precious energy, leaving you feeling drained well before the workday is over. As a highly maneuverable alternative, our electric office chair for disabled persons lets you glide effortlessly and confidently around the workspace with a renewed sense of self-reliance.

Streamline Job Tasks with a Disabled Office Chair

As a disabled adult, imagine a world where your office chair not only supports your daily activities, but rather elevates your job performance game to a whole new level – attracting the attention of your superiors. 

For example, let’s pretend you are nose-deep in your work but must attend a staff meeting down the hall from your cubicle. Instead of asking for someone’s help, you use your new VELA Chair “personal assistant” to effortlessly “walk” yourself where you need to be with plenty of time to spare.

Regain Your Independence in the Office

Or, picture yourself tasking away on a big project that requires the ability to reach surfaces high and low. You remember how much strain that used to put on your back and legs. Thanks to our handicap chair’s easy-to-use, adjustable height function, all workspace areas are now easily within reach – improving your efficiency while minimizing stress on achy joints and muscles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Go to FAQ

  • Which device can be useful for a person who is physically disabled?

    For someone who is physically disabled, the VELA Chair can be an incredibly useful device. It offers features designed to enhance mobility and comfort, such as adjustable seat height, depth, backrest, and armrests. The chair also has smooth-rolling wheels that can be securely locked, providing stability when needed. Other helpful devices could include wheelchairs, mobility scooters, or grab bars, depending on the individual’s specific needs.

  • What is a medical lift chair?

    A medical lift chair is a motorized chair that can tilt forward or lift upward to help the user transition from a sitting to a standing position with ease. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who struggle with mobility, such as the elderly or those with physical disabilities. The VELA Chair offers both a forward tilt and an electric lift and its adjustability and easy maneuverability make it a viable option for those looking for a comfortable and secure seating solution.

  • What is the difference between an ergonomic chair and an office chair?

    While both ergonomic chairs and office chairs are designed for use in an office environment, the main difference lies in the design approach. Ergonomic chairs are designed with the user’s physical comfort and well-being in mind, aiming to support the body’s natural posture and reduce the risk of strain or injury. Office chairs, on the other hand, might not have the same level of adjustability or support. The VELA Chair is an example of an ergonomic chair that supports good posture and can be adjusted to fit the user perfectly, promoting comfort and productivity. The VELA Chair can be used as an office chair.
