Wheelchairs With 20 Inch Seats

Wide seat chairs for larger adults, the step between standard fleet widths and the dedicated bariatric line.

Between Standard And Bariatric

The 20 inch seat serves patients who need more width than the fleet standard but do not need a bariatric frame or its weight rating. Keeping a few in the fleet spares larger patients an uncomfortable squeeze into an 18 and spares the facility from deploying a heavy bariatric chair for a patient who simply needs two more inches of seat.

When To Step Up To The Bariatric Line Instead

Seat width and weight capacity are separate decisions. If the patient fits a 20 inch seat but outweighs the chair’s rating, the answer is the bariatric manual wheelchair line, which pairs wide seats with reinforced frames and higher capacities. The product page for each 20 inch model lists its rating so the call is simple.

Frequently Asked Questions

Capacities vary by model and are listed on each product page. The seat width alone does not raise the rating, which is the reason the bariatric line exists.

Overall width grows with the seat, so check the listed overall width against the facility’s doorways, particularly in older wings.
