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 Graham-Field Health GF4405427 Hip Chair is designed for those recovering from hip or knee surgery but also targets those who suffer from arthritis.

It is essential for seniors to find a chair that is both comfortable and adequately designed for maximum rehab and recovery after surgery. The straight back of this chair allows for the proper placement of the body while recovering from hip surgery.

This chair can hold over 300 pounds and the metal frame is incredibly stable. The armrests assist when getting in and out of the chair and are padded as well. The padding and build of the chair help reduce fatigue and stress on joints, which is vital even without recovering from surgery.

The seat height itself is not adjustable, but the anti-slip footrest is, so you will not struggle with the chair being too tall. Two spring-loaded adjustment knobs on either side of the frame make it simple to change the height of the footrest. The high-density foam makes sitting for an extended time more comfortable.

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.

The Eagle Health Supplies Hip Shower Chair restores independence and dignity after hip surgery. Tested for safe movement in and out of the bathtub, you or your loved one will feel confident and appreciate having the privacy of bathing. It also works as a great assistant for caregivers needing to assist those recently recovering from surgery.

Surgery aside, we recommend this chair for seniors because it is also efficient at preventing slips and other injuries that can occur in the bathroom. The holes in the seat allow water to drain and the frame is rust proof so you can continue using the chair for many years.

We recommend that you take careful measurements of your bathtub or shower to make sure the chair will fit. Because this is a hygiene product, once opened it cannot be returned so double check all measurements before purchasing.

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.
