Ward furniture needs to incorporate design features that aid infection control and reduce manual handling and pressure sore risks. Whether patients and visitors are spending one night or months on a ward, these design features are essential to ensure their comfort and wellbeing.
Renray considers the end-user when we are designing and building our furniture. This is why from patient bedside furniture and waiting area seating to pressure area mattresses our healthcare furniture is fit for purpose and will continue to perform well into the future.
The Type of Chair
Arguably the most important aspect of a great reception area is the type of seating you provide. After all, a clean, professional, comfortable environment is what makes many visitors feel at ease, and the chairs themselves can make or break this. From Renray’s experience, the products that tend to make the best waiting room chairs are from the following categories:
-
Stackable visitor chairs from our Finland and Venetian seating range.
-
The inherently antimicrobial Titan chairs that kill 99.9% of bacteria and germs.
-
The Tub Chair Range.
Is it Suitable for your Sector?
The next element to consider is how effective the seating would be in the reception area of your facility. If you receive a high volume of footfall, for example, you might want to choose an Easy To Clean Seating Material such as waterproof vinyl or antimicrobial plastic.
The suitability factor applies to the space you have available for reception chairs as well. A smaller facility can opt for tub chairs over their armchair counterparts due to the fact they’re lightweight and take up less space. Essentially, you should know what your typical visitor needs from a waiting room chair, and combine this with simple practicality. This is likely to be the answer to creating your best possible waiting room area!
The Design and Style
Once you’ve chosen your ideal product from our wide range, finding the best design should complete whatever style you’re going for. The variety of materials offered by the many types of waiting room chairs can be used to emphasise either a modern or traditional aesthetic. Moreover, finding the right visual style can complement the rest of your waiting room décor, which is significant to making your reception area appealing.
