Best Hip Chairs

The APEX Premium Hip Chair is the result of decades of experience in patient rehabilitation and mobility. Keeping the knees lower than the hips is essential during the healing process, and this chair helps you do that. The versatility makes it an excellent option and you can even adjust the angle of the chair for best comfort.

The chair is created for ideal comfort while providing the right condition to heal. The material is medical grade, water-shedding foam, is warmer than standard plastic, and prevents skin tears.

The APEX Premium Hip Chair is simple to put together and portable, so while it’s not the most aesthetically looking chair, you can take it along when you go out and about, from eating out to visiting with friends and family. The key is maintaining your independence.

This hip chair is considered best overall because it is designed to work in the kitchen, dining room, or used as a shower chair. The seat adjusts to the ideal height for healing progression of the hip flexion.

The Complete Medical Hip Chair is an excellent option for everyday use for seniors: the seat is built for extended sitting periods and will reduce stress and fatigue on joints. The chair is also designed to ease joint pain while getting in and out of the chair. As mentioned with previous chairs, that’s an important feature with or without surgery.

Padded armrests are full-length and weight bearing and the material is comfortable to maintain and clean. The chair is designed to sit in without reaching a 90 degree angle with the knee and hip. This angle is especially important during recovery time for hip surgery patients.

The footrest height adjusts easily. Two spring-loaded knobs that are located on both sides of the metal frame securely hold the footrest. A simple turn of the knob raises or lowers the footrest. There is also an anti-slip strip as an added safety feature.

The Drive Medical Deluxe Hip High Chair creates the correct angle for sitting without bending at the hip, ideal for seniors who are post hip surgery. The contoured armrests provide support so you can safely sit and stand, and maneuver around it.

The padding on the seat is for firm comfort. As its designed to be supportive during the healing process, the filling is not necessarily soft but still comfortable.

Assembly is pretty simple and once set up the chair is very stable. If you tend to “fall” into chairs, this one corrects for that with its height and durability. The chair will not move as you slide in. This chair can be an excellent addition in multiple rooms and moved without too much hassle.

The vinyl covering on the chair is water resistant, but not recommended for use in the shower. The material can handle a wet towel for cleaning but is not designed as a shower chair.

If you are a senior recovering from hip surgery, you need a chair that is comfortable and stable. The Everyday Hip Chair is exactly as it sounds, perfect for daily use. The padded armrests on each side provide a durable hold while you get in and out of the chair. And the cushion eases the aches and pains of joints by releasing stress and pressure.

The height of the chair makes it excellent for using at a standing desk if you have work or other day-to-day tasks that you need to take care of.

The chair has a footrest which is not adjustable but is placed to help keep your knees at the correct angle to your hips while you heal. There is an anti-slip strip attached to the footrest for safety.

As with many of our other Hip Chair picks, the Everyday Hip Chair is beneficial for arthritis sufferers as well.

The Hermell Supportive Hip Cushion is an essential tool to have while you recover from hip surgery. The cushion is portable and usable on nearly every chair.

Just because you had surgery does not mean your life stops. You have places to be, and you deserve to be comfortable while you are there. This cushion travels well and has a shoulder strap.

This cushion also fits wheelchairs and adds that extra assistance and comfort for those with hip pain. The additional height gained removes stress and pressure on joints, helping the body heal.

Made of quality polyurethane foam, the cushion is latex free and has a removable, washable nylon cover for easy cleaning. Some people report the cushion cover is slippery but adding a T-shirt over it will help with any slipping issues. There are also ties you can use to prevent the cushion itself from slipping.
