The Haven rise recliner chair is excellent for clients with significant risk of pressure problems or existing pressure ulcers due to the air bag technology within the seat cushion, leg rest and back cushion. The air cushions work constantly to evenly distribute the user’s weight ensuring that there are no pressure points that might restrict circulation. The high level of pressure relief is due to the air cushions constant movement and repositioning of pressure. This allows for a truly personalised seating experience based on a user’s specific needs with a focus on the person, their activities and the impact of their condition. It has been designed to provide the highest level of pressure relief for conditions, such as:
With a choice of Dual or Single Tilt in Space motors, the Haven is ideal for clients with changing and deteriorating neurological conditions and those who require assisted movement to reduce the problems of skin breakdown. It has a rise option to maintain client independence when they wish to get up and walk as well as choice and control to change position to support rest and purposeful activity. The Haven comes with a chaise which helps to prevent shear and friction as well as the option of Coolform gel in the arm rests for comfort and additional pressure relief. The chair can be moved easily from one room to another to reduce the need for manual handling with carers, but also to negate the need to move a client at the end of life where any move can be painful and distressing. Ideal as part of a 24-hour postural care programme it can also be used with either a mobile or overhead hoist to support safe moving and handling techniques for carers. The chair is ideal for use in health environments including nursing homes or for end of life care clients and residents. Environments:

The Haven comes with a range of key features to aid pressure management, postural control and comfort. The key features listed below are standard, you can purchase additional features and these are detailed in the Optional Accessories Section.
Please note that all air bag cushions are pre-set at manufacturer, but they can be altered by a trained care professional using the air valve and pumps. They can all be removed for cleaning or replacement.
For more information on seating posture and assessment please see our downloadable Clinical Posture Guide in the Brochure Section.
MechanismsThe Haven is available with either a Dual Tilt in Space (DTIS) or a Single Tilt in Space (STIS) mechanism. The Tilt in Space (TIS) movement allows the seat to back angle to remain the same whilst the whole seating system is tilted backwards which prevents shearing and friction. The Dual Tilt in Space mechanism has more positional movement options than the STIS as it also has independent backrest recline and independent leg rest movement. This enables a greater range of positions to aid pressure management, postural control and comfort. For further details on these mechanisms, with video clips, visit the Mechanism Section. |

Pressure Management Back CushionsThe Haven comes with unique split contoured back comprising of two separate and distinct cushions which are detailed below. |
Lower Back Air CushionThis supports the thoracic and lumbar part of the back through a one cell air bag surrounded by a soft foam surface. It provides a high level of pressure relief due to its constant movement and repositioning of pressure. |
|
Top Head CushionThe top head cushion is Dacron fibre filled and can be adjusted providing additional head support and comfort. The padding levels can be adjusted through the addition or removal of fibres – simply unzip the head cover to gain access to the fibres. The cushions can be positioned on the back frame using the Velcro. The covers are removable for replacement and cleaning. See Back Cushion Section for more details on the air cushion. |
|
Pressure Management Seat CushionsThe seat cushion contains a single cell air cushion. Users need to have appropriate pelvic stability and core trunk strength to accommodate the air pressure changes and related movement in this single air cushion. The seat cushion and chaise are combined and the cushions and covers are removable for cleaning and replacement. With this seat cushion we recommend a fabric with four way stretch properties to aid reduction of shear and friction. See Seat Cushion Section for details of the cushion. |
|
Leg Rest CushionThe single cell airbag provides consistent support across the whole of the thighs, back of the knees and calf and reduces the risk of pressure problems. |

This back can be useful for anyone with limited ability to independently alter position, for example those who have suffered a stroke or with a brain injury, MND, spinal injury and palliative care. The Dacron, has the ability, to transfer heat which can make it very useful for client groups who rely on regulated temperature such as MS.
The back air cushion and cover can be removed using the zip. The pump is easy to use and can be found at the base of the back. The air level on the cushion is pre-set before despatch. For more details please see the User Manual in the Brochure Section.

The most important aspect to consider before purchasing any healthcare chair are the seating positions that are required to aid the conditions of the client and address any pressure and postural management needs.
The Haven is available with either a Dual or Single Tilt in Space mechanism. Please check the Sizes Section for all user weights and dimensions before selecting your chair. For demonstrations of the mechanisms described below please watch the relevant videos.
If you would like to find out about what mechanisms are available on other healthcare chairs from the Repose range please contact the sales department on 01384 567401.
Single Tilt in Space/Dual Tilt in Space
DTIS and STIS (Common features)
The Tilt in Space movement features on both these mechanisms. It allows the seat to back angle to remain the same whilst the whole seating system is tilted backwards. This ensures that the angle of the hips, knees and ankles remain unaffected and the weight on the Ischial Tuberosities is reduced by redistributing the weight through the back. This constant angle also prevents shear and friction during movement.
This feature can also help when transferring someone in a sling as it can support better pelvic positioning by using gravity to position the user in the back of the chair in the optimal position.
Both these mechanisms have a rise position. As the chair rises the seat tilts forward slightly, transferring the weight to the knees whilst taking away the pressure from your hips thus allowing you to walk away more easily from the chair.
Single Tilt in Space
Dual Tilt in Space
DTIS (Only)
As well as the Tilt in Space and Rise functions, described above, the Dual Tilt in Space mechanism also features an independent backrest recline and independent leg rest movement:
- The independent recline allows the user to maintain flexibility over their body’s position, particularly the amount of hip flexion, enabling them to maximise comfort as well as managing health needs.
- The independent leg rest offers the user additional flexibility over positioning, allowing them to either use it in conjunction with the recline feature to create the optimal posture for their body shape.
The Haven comes with the option to choose from the following safety features:
Styleline Handset with On/Off Button
On some handsets you can choose to have an on/off emergency stop button. Please ask your supplier for the option available on your chair model.
20 Cycle Back Up Unit
This back up system comes as stand-alone unit that can carry out up to 20 chair adjustments. It should only be used as an emergency back-up system.
Full user instructions can be found in your user manual – please read these carefully before using the chair and the 20 cycle back up. A copy of the manual can be found in the Brochures Section.
Accupak Rechargeable Battery System
The Accupak power pack enables you to use the chair away from a power supply. The battery provides an average of up to 100 adjustment cycles and will need recharging regularly to retain the quality of usage. It can be charged by simply plugging it in. The system sits out of sight under the chair and the charging outlet is built into the side of the chair.
Please note that the Accupak is not compatible with the Reading Lamp.
Full user instructions can be found in the user manual – please read these carefully before using the chair and Accupak. A copy of the manual can be found in the Brochures Section.
Enclosure Skirt
The enclosure skirt hides the mechanism when the chair is either in the full rise or recline positions. This has been designed to stop small pets entering the mechanism whilst in the recline or rise positions.
