Seating support for complex needs. Every seating assessment is different. Our systems are designed to support posture, comfort, stability, function and daily participation across paediatric and adult provision. From modular seating and custom moulded seating to adaptable wheelbases and support products, we help professionals identify solutions that are clinically appropriate, practical to use and responsive to individual need.

Specialist seating systems

Modular seating systems

Our modular seating systems are designed to support postural control, adjustment and adaptability where user needs may change over time. CAPS II, MiniCAPS, Fusion and Hybrid seating options provide clinically informed routes for users who require structured support, practical customisation and, where appropriate, dynamic seating features.

Custom moulded and adaptable seating

For users with highly specific postural requirements, our custom moulded and adaptable seating systems provide individualised support shaped around clinical need. MAPS, Lynx and Matrix support more tailored seating provision, including custom contoured and adaptable approaches for complex presentations.

Wheelbases and support products

Our wheelbases, accessories and positioning components are designed to work with specialist seating systems in daily use. The Neo Wheelbase provides a strong, adaptable base for specialist seating, while our wider support range helps clinicians refine comfort, positioning and practical use.
