Incontinence is a common issue that affects many people, particularly the elderly or those with certain medical conditions. It involves the involuntary loss of bladder or bowel control, which can lead to unexpected leakage. For those using lift chairs, managing incontinence requires special care to maintain the cleanliness and functionality of the chair. Thankfully, lift chairs designed with incontinence in mind offer waterproof and stain-resistant fabrics, making care and maintenance much easier.
At Freedom Mobility Solutions, we offer a variety of lift chairs equipped with advanced protective fabrics from trusted brands like Golden Technologies and Pride Mobility. These fabrics provide excellent protection while ensuring comfort and longevity, making them ideal for individuals managing incontinence.
Understanding Incontinence-Resistant Fabrics
Waterproof and stain-resistant fabrics are critical for protecting your lift chair from damage caused by accidents. These fabrics prevent liquids from penetrating the chair’s padding, reducing the risk of staining, odors, and bacterial buildup. Let’s take a closer look at the fabric options from Golden Technologies and Pride Mobility that help make caring for your lift chair easier.
