XXL geriatric armchair for users up to 350 kg
The main advantage of the Normandie XXL model is its high carrying capacity. This XXL geriatric armchair It is designed for users weighing up to 350 kg, being a robust solution for bariatric care, recovery and safe rest.
The effective seat width of approximately 730 mm provides generous space for the user. This dimension is important for comfort, as a seat that is too narrow can create lateral pressure, discomfort and difficulty transferring.
Normandie XXL should not be chosen solely based on the maximum permissible weight. For the right choice, the seat width, seat depth, sitting height, total width of the product and the available space in the room should also be checked. The total width of approximately 890 mm should be compared with doors, hallways, elevators and access areas in the home or institution.
Reclining backrest and adjustable footrest
The Vermeiren Normandie XXL has an adjustable backrest and an auto-tilt footrest. These features allow the user to change their position for comfort, relaxation and rest throughout the day.
The technical manual indicates a backrest angle of approximately 13° – 40° and an angle between the seat and the footrest of approximately 0° – 80°. The adjustment is made via a gas spring system, and the backrest and footrest are adjusted together.
For a XXL geriatric armchair, backrest adjustment is important because users may spend long periods of time in a seated position. Changing the position can contribute to comfort and assist the caregiver in daily activities of assistance, rest and supervision.
Before changing the position, the chair must be stabilized. If the product is configured with wheels, the brakes must be locked before adjusting the backrest, footrest or armrests.
Adjustable armrests and easier lateral transfer
The armrests of the Vermeiren Normandie XXL are height adjustable. The technical range indicated in the manual is approximately 138 – 220 mm, and the armrests can be lowered to seat level for lateral transfer.
This feature is useful for users who need assistance transferring from a bed, wheelchair, armchair or other mobility device. When the armrest is lowered, the caregiver can perform lateral transfers more easily, provided the user is correctly positioned and safely assisted.
A XXL geriatric armchair must allow good access for care. Adjustable armrests can help both the user and caregivers or medical staff, especially when transfers are repeated daily.
Comfort for staying and resting
The Normandie XXL is designed as a comfort armchair, not a simple transport chair. The seat and backrest are designed for support, and the thickness of the seat cushion is approximately 100 mm, according to Vermeiren technical data.
The seat depth of approximately 490 mm and the backrest height of approximately 780 mm can provide good support for users who need a spacious and stable armchair.

How to choose the right XXL geriatric armchair
Choosing a XXL geriatric armchair should be made according to the user's weight, the width of the pool, the level of mobility, the transfer requirements, the available space and the actual mode of use. For the Vermeiren Normandie XXL, the 350 kg capacity is important, but the overall width of 890 mm, the seat depth, the seat height and the possibility of access to the room must also be analyzed.
If the user requires lateral transfer, adjustable armrests and lowering them to seat level can be very useful. If the user needs to be repositioned frequently in the room, a version with wheels and parking brakes may be necessary. If the user requires active movement over longer distances, a manual or powered wheelchair should be considered, not just a comfort chair.
For bariatric care at home, the product can be complemented with other solutions, such as medical beds, anti-skid mattresses, positioning wheelchairs, transfer devices or support frames. You can also consult Interval XXL electric bed for a complementary bariatric solution or MSN Life Services Mobility Guide for information on choosing mobility and care devices.
