Lumex Deluxe Preferred Care Recliner Series-Wide, by Graham Field

Lumex Deluxe Preferred Care Recliner Series-Wide by Graham Field

The Lumex Deluxe Preferred Care® Recliner Series-Wide by Graham Field is an extra-wide healthcare recliner designed for clinical, acute-care, extended-care, dialysis, rehabilitation, oncology, postoperative recovery, and patient-room applications. 

The Lumex Extra Wide Preferred Care Recliner is ideal for clinical and acute care settings. This recliner allows for almost infinite recline positioning. The unique position lock can be caregiver-activated to stabilize a position for patient comfort. A unique suspension seating system self-adjusts to each person, cradling the resident and virtually eliminating the risk of “bottoming out.” The quick-release upholstery allows for easy cleaning, removal, and replacement. The reduced armrest and seat height enable the recliner to fit under dining and activity tables.

The FR565WG is the wide version of the Lumex Preferred Care Recliner. Its extra-wide configuration provides a 24-inch seat and 24-inch width between the arms, making it suitable for residents who need more seating space. The recliner retains the Preferred Care series' low seat and arm height, allowing it to fit beneath many dining and activity tables.

Lumex Deluxe Preferred Care Series-Wide Geri Chair Features

Extra-Wide 24-Inch Seat

The FR565WG provides a 24-inch-wide seat, compared with the narrower standard Preferred Care configuration. The 24-inch seat width and 24-inch space between the arms provide additional room for patient comfort.

Infinite Recline Positioning

The patented Lumex recline mechanism allows almost infinite positioning so the patient can select a comfortable reclined position. Instead of being limited to a small number of preset positions, the back can be positioned throughout its operating range.

Caregiver-Activated Position Lock

The caregiver-activated position lock allows staff to secure the recliner in the desired position. This feature can help maintain a selected position during patient care or extended sitting.

Ultra-Flex Suspension System

The recliner incorporates a self-adjusting Ultra-Flex suspension system in the seat and backrest. The system cradles the resident from head to heel and reduces the risk of "bottoming out." The suspension bands can also be adjusted for individual resident comfort by removing the back upholstery.

Wide, Soft Armrests

The FR565WG features extra-wide padded armrests and side panels designed to provide additional patient comfort. The armrests are approximately 4.5 inches wide.

Quick-Release Upholstery

The upholstery can be quickly released for cleaning, removal, replacement, and routine maintenance. The vinyl upholstery is resistant to sulfide stains, mildew, and oil.

Durable Steel Frame

The recliner uses a welded steel frame with an epoxy coating. This construction is designed for durability and easier cleaning and maintenance in healthcare environments.

5-inch TENTE swivel casters

The caster configuration consists of 3 total-locking casters and 1 directional-locking caster. The directional wheel lock is located on the right rear caster and helps the recliner track straight when being moved down hallways. The three total-locking casters lock both the wheel and swivel.

The Lumex Deluxe Preferred Care Recliner Series Wide by Graham Field (FR565WG) is a heavy-duty clinical Geri chair engineered to support bariatric residents and individuals requiring an expansive seating area. Featuring an extra-wide 24-inch seat, a 400 lb weight capacity, and a patented position-change mechanism, this recliner delivers maximum long-term comfort, pressure management, and effortless mobility across home care and clinical environments.

Infinite Position Recline Mechanism

Equipped with a patented link-and-pin mechanism, the Lumex Deluxe Preferred Care Recliner allows for smooth, continuous adjustment across a wide range of recline positions. Caregivers can easily adjust the back angle to promote optimal rest, respiratory ease, and pressure reduction without sudden shifts.

Lumex Deluxe Preferred Care Recliner Series Wide Weight Capacity

Built on a heavy-duty, epoxy-coated welded steel frame, this extra-wide model is structurally rated to support up to 400 lbs evenly distributed. The reinforced frame ensures long-lasting durability, lateral stability, and structural integrity during frequent resident transfers and daily recline adjustments.

Extra-Wide 24-Inch Ergonomic Seating

Designed specifically for bariatric users or individuals who benefit from added space, the recliner features a generous 24-inch seat width and deep, high-density foam padding. Combined with fully upholstered side panels and extra-wide padded armrests, it minimizes pressure points while providing superior lateral comfort.

Ultra-Flex Suspension and Pressure Relief

Incorporating a unique Ultra-Flex suspension system beneath high-resiliency foam, the seating area adapts dynamically to the body’s posture. This feature evenly distributes user weight, reduces peak pressure points, and enhances overall skin protection during extended periods of sitting.

Directional Tracking and Locking Casters

Designed for smooth maneuverability in tight hallways and patient rooms, the recliner includes four TENTE® swivel casters. Highly visible directional wheel locks keep the chair tracking straight during transport, while total-lock rear casters secure both wheel rotation and swivel for safe resident transfers.
