Obus Forme Wide Backrest
Ergonomic support for broader backs
The Obus Forme Wide Backrest adds ergonomic support to standard chairs for users with a larger torso. It promotes optimal spinal alignment, reducing back strain during prolonged sitting at home, work or travel. The wider fit and contoured shape benefit individuals with spinal injuries, post‑surgical needs, or chronic pressure‑related discomfort. Clinicians can recommend it to improve posture, relieve pressure, and enhance comfort for both the user and their caregiver.
The backrest’s S‑shape contour supports the natural lumbar curve, helping to maintain correct posture. This design reduces muscular fatigue for users who sit for extended periods. Clinicians report improved comfort and decreased need for manual repositioning.
With a width of 48 cm, the Wide Backrest accommodates broader backs that standard supports cannot. It is ideal for individuals with higher body mass or wider shoulder spans. The broader surface distributes pressure more evenly across the back.
A removable lumbar pad can be repositioned to target specific pressure points. Users can customise support based on personal comfort or clinical recommendation. The pad is easy to clean and swap, supporting hygiene protocols.
The product meets common NDIS specifications for pressure‑relief supports. Its safe working load of 200 kg aligns with funding thresholds. Therapists can confidently prescribe it within an NDIS plan.
