6.2.3. Seat Width Adjustment

Achieving the correct seat width, the internal width of the seat between the armrests, ensures arms sit comfortably on the armrest and 

contributes to pelvic stability and security of the user. If too wide, it can be diffi cult to hold good posture, if too narrow the occupant may 

not be able to sit right back in the chair.
To measure the seat width, seat the occupant in the centre of the chair, measure across the widest area of the bottom/hips and add 5cm 

or two inches each side. 
The Florien Elite has a standard seat cushion and when used with the Upholstered dynamic arm modules, these fl oat across the seat to 

achieve the correct seat width for the occupant. The arm modules on both sides of the chair adjust and should be set at the same colour 

code on either side of the chair.
