The Lento Care chair has been clinically designed to address the complex care needs of anyone over 5’ 2”, particularly those who need to be hoisted.
The postural features built into the chair provide head-to-toe 24-hour support, whilst its carefully chosen materials and cushions for complete pressure care make it a universal solution for adults in patient care or at home. Includes tilt-in-space, backrest recline, seat width and depth adjustment, arm height adjustment, footrest movement and leg-rest articulation.
The chair’s unique modular design means component parts can be easily removed and reattached, leaving the base of the chair exposed for cleaning.
Designed for use in hospitals, care homes, community care facilities, hospices, and private residences. Available for purchase or hire.
The seat depth, width and arm height can all be easily adjusted to resize the chair for different people, without needing any special training or tools.
This makes it perfect for use in multi-user healthcare environments where the same chair may need to be used for different patients. However, it also means that you can size the chair perfectly for a single user at home, to make it a personalised comfortable companion for years to come.
Where patients are living with medical conditions, the extra adjustability and support provided by the Lento Care Chair helps to avoid deconditioning, and therefore extra hospital admissions.
Combining Function With Comfort
Locking Tilt in Space –The lockable tilt-in-space function can be manually or electrically operated, pivoting the user back in the chair and redistributing their weight more evenly across contact areas.This is beneficial for pressure relief and maintaining skin integrity, as well as offering extra postural support, improved circulation, assisted breathing and swallowing, and much more.
Backrest Recline –The backrest has independent recline enabling it to be angled for extra repositioning and comfort.
Articulating Leg Rest –The extendable footrest with gel leg rest wrap provides continual pressure care, alleviating pressure on the legs and providing relief for people with oedema and circulation problems in the lower limbs.
Angle Adjustable Footplate –The padded footplate is height and angle adjustable, helping to facilitate postural issues in the lower limbs such as windswept feet, swelling or plantar flexion.
Arm Adjustments –The arm height can be adjusted on the Lento Care Chair, as well as being fully removeable for easier side transfers.
The soft four way stretch dartex material to all contact surfaces keeps the skin cool and hydrated, protecting the surface of the skin.
Cushion Options Include:
Configured For You: Accessories, Backrest & Cushion Options
For even more support and comfort, the standard backrest cushions can be swapped out for waterfall, lateral or cocoon backrests, to suit the postural needs of each individual client. Wedges and other supporting cushions are also available to ensure correct body positioning in the chair.
A range of postural supports and accessories are available for the Lento Care Chair, find out more here:

He is completely immobile, but able to sit up with support. His whole demeanor when he is placed in the chair is one of complete relaxation and obvious comfort. He is more responsive, as he is more comfortable.
The fit was spot on right from the beginning, even for my 6'4" husband with extremely long legs!

The care staff can move him easily around the home without constantly hoisting
It is so comfortable and can easily be adjusted if needed and can be raised or lowed to accommodate the needs of the patient.andvwith the added assurance you can contact the company if needed

The conpany, headed by Maxine, allayed all my fears when I had to elect to return two differently-sized chairs. Maxine's ability to absorb every problem and find a solution was astonishing, as were the staff involved in delivery and return protocols.
You need have no concerns in ordering the products from this company, nothing is too much trouble - in my opinion as a very-well educated carer, I challenge anyone to find a better, more empathic organisation - they are a beacon of expertise, professionalism and unequalled co-operation shining through the sometimes harsh world of competition and industry. Thank you all and I hope my review will reassure fellow carers looking to solve decisions during stressful family contexts. Well done!

As this debilitating condition worsens the Lento Care Chair can be adapted to support moderate changes in his body shape. The tilting seat helps to guard against pressure sores a condition he has had from other chairs. .He is very comfortable , Our thanks are given to Maxine inSales for her invaluable advice and patience whilst we considered other alternatives on the market.. This chair is by far the best that we saw... We would truly recommend this chair . It looks Good and it is Good!

With Bob having spent the past 10 months in bed, and all the problems that caused him, our daughter searched for a solution online and found the Lento Care Chair - it looked perfect for his needs.
We phoned and made enquires - it sounded perfect for his needs.
We ordered it and it arrived the very next day - and it is perfect for his needs.
The chair is well made, adjustable, comfortable, easy to manoeuvre, goes through all our doorways easily and is good to look at.
Graham has been so helpful and supportive throughout the whole process and we are thrilled as Bob now gets up in his chair every day, he’s comfortable, well supported and back in the hub of his family again, thank you so much

We needed the chair to be comfortable and safe and light weight. The chair needed padding aiding comfort, foot security and easily mobile. Yorkshire care introduced me to the Lento Chair. Wow it ticked all the boxes. We ordered 3 chairs which have transformed the lives of the residents using them. The families are happy seeing their loved ones smiling. The best purchase I have been involved with. Thank you.

What i like about it first and foremost is that it is really comfortable and puts the patients at the forefront of what is required - comfort first! It also looks really nice, much better than some of the other speciloast chairs on the market.
It is very easily adaptable to meet a range of different needs, but also different body shapes and weights.
It provides a great deal of lateral support and can maintain a good seating posture for those patients who require the maximum level of support.
It is a very competitive cost and i recommend to anyone who is looking for a supportive/comfortable chair.

I love the flexibility that comes with the product in terms of being modular to fit different needs with a choice of clinical and aesthetic requirements and preferences.
By using this care chair, I have supported people in increasing the amount of time they spend out of bed without detriment, and ultimately improving pressure care, respiratory, nutritional and elimination needs, as well as quality of life and the ability to engage in more purposeful daily activities.
It comes at a very competitive cost for such a versatile chair and I would definitely recommend it.
