An occupational therapist asked us to help a lady client who needed a valuable wood framed sofa raised. Being a much loved family heirloom, the sofa could not be altered in any way, but standard chair raisers would not fit it. Working in oak, Remap engineers designed and manufactured a set of perfectly matched raisers that look to the untrained eye like part of the sofa. The client can now sit down and get up with ease.
A stroke patient in her early 80s was suffering back pain because she couldn’t sit far enough back in her armchair. The height of the chair had been adjusted, but there was no support at the front to stop her sliding forward as the seat cushion became compressed, so her occupational therapist referred her to Remap. We made new chair raisers that were 20 mm lower at the front than the previous ones and 40 mm lower at the rear, so the seat cushion was slightly tilted and the lady could sit back in comfort. We also installed a cloth covered foam bar to support the front of the chair and prevent her from sliding forward.
