Spex Seat Base

Carer-friendly and growth-adjustable seat base for ultimate positioning

Solid aluminium seat base for effective placement of cushion and auxiliary postural supports with Fixed Mount or Quick-Release hardware options.

Give your wheelchair an enhanced postural support foundation with the Spex Seat Base.

This aluminium seat base with 4 points of fixation gives you the flexibility to complement your seating system with other Spex auxiliary postural supports.

The Seat Base provides stability and a solid foundation for the cushion to keep its integrity and ensure no sag develops over time. This will also allow for an even pressure distribution across the entire surface.

Two hardware mounting options are available:

  • Quick-Release for folding frames and ease of use
  • Fixed Mount cost-effective and lightweight

Enjoy the new and innovative Quick-Release hardware. It’s versatile and multifunctional hardware allows installation to a range of wheelchair frames incorporating tubular canes from 19-30mm in diameter.
