There are many different causes of obesity. Disability can be a consequence of obesity, but conversely, obesity can also be a consequence of disability.
We make chairs that alleviate everyday challenges at home or the office, and in this case we make chairs that help overweight people lead an easier and more independent life.
Being overweight can lead to various challenges in life. Our heavy-duty chairs give you:
You can reach high and low without exerting yourself. Such as when you need to reach the top shelves or empty the dishwasher. The electric lift can also help you get up.
You can walk or push yourself around while sitting down, as the chair has wheels. This means you can save your strength and maybe find the energy to manage more activities.
Thanks to the chair’s handbrake, you get a stable seat from where you can carry out your daily chores such as cooking or laundry. The chair’s armrests provide excellent support while seated or when you need to get up.
When you sit in an upright posture, you breathe in more air than when you slouch. The chair features excellent adjustment options so that it fits you perfectly.

Being heavy-duty can prevent the diaphragm from working optimally. This means that breathing becomes difficult, which is disabling for everyone.
That’s why our VELA chairs come with support for both the back and arms. The support helps ensure that your diaphragm is given the space and help it needs to keep you breathing properly. Breathing also worsens if you suffer from pain in your muscles and joints – so a good, upright and relaxed posture is essential.
Many heavy-duty people feel insecure sitting in an unfamiliar chair – will it hold? Our bariatric chairs are very robust and reinforced in every way, so you don’t have to worry about whether your VELA chair will hold. It will.
You can ‘walk’ or push yourself around thanks to the chair’s wheels. This means you can get around your home or office and be on the move more. It enables you to perform light cleaning or prepare a meal yourself.
Bariatric chairs from VELA are reinforced to hold your weight. This means that you can engage the brake on the chair and safely push off on the armrests when you need to get up, without having to worry about whether the chair will stay in place or not.
Many heavy-duty people lie down for much of the day, as it can be challenging for the body to walk and stand for a whole day – and that helps neither weight nor energy levels. The VELA heavy-duty chair supports and relieves you while sitting down – and your lungs work much better when you sit compared to when you lie down.
