Broda Seating & Positioning Chairs

Broda is a specialist name in therapeutic seating — the kind of chair a facility reaches for when a resident can't be safely or comfortably positioned in a standard wheelchair or recliner. If you're caring for someone at risk of pressure injuries, prone to sliding forward, agitated, or requiring frequent repositioning, Broda's tilt-in-space and reclining chairs are built to solve exactly those problems.

What sets these chairs apart is the seating philosophy. Broda's signature Comfort Tension Seating uses a system of individually adjustable straps rather than a solid foam cushion. Air circulates through the strapping, which helps manage heat and moisture against the skin and redistributes pressure across the body — a meaningful difference for anyone who spends most of the day seated. Tilt-in-space adjustment lets a caregiver shift a person's weight and change their orientation without altering hip and knee angles, which supports postural stability and takes strain off the person and the caregiver alike.

Buyers usually weigh a few practical questions. Weight capacity matters — Broda offers models in standard and bariatric ranges. So does the chair's role: some are designed for day-long comfort and dining in long-term care and memory-care settings, others for transport and clinical positioning. Look at the footrest and armrest options, the caster and braking setup for the flooring you have, and whether you need a recline function, tilt, or both. Upholstery and strap systems are chosen for durability and easy cleaning in high-use environments.

These chairs are common across skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, hospice, and home care where fall risk, pressure management, and positioning are ongoing concerns. Browse the Broda collection to compare tilt, recline, and transport models, and pair your selection with the right cushions and accessories to complete a positioning plan built around the individual.
