How to Choose the Right Wheelchair

5 min read

The right wheelchair supports your posture, protects your skin and gives you the freedom to get on with your day. This guide walks through the four decisions that matter most: frame weight, seat dimensions, propulsion and cushioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what seat width I need?

Measure across the widest point of your hips while seated and add roughly 2cm in total for clearance. Our team can measure you in the showroom and confirm the fit before you buy.

Is a lightweight wheelchair worth the extra cost?

If you self-propel, lift the chair into a car, or travel often, a lighter frame makes a noticeable daily difference. If the chair is mainly pushed by a carer and stays in one place, a standard frame is usually sufficient.

Can I try a wheelchair before buying?

Yes. We recommend it. Visit our Dubai showroom for a fitting and a test drive so the chair can be configured to your measurements.
