Carved Foam Seat (CFS)

The Carved Foam Seating System is principally used for clients where problems are experienced with positioning, comfort and safety. They are supplied as a one or two -piece system and they offer an accurate yet comfortable seat. The individual CFSS seat is manufactured to the highest specifications, using the best quality materials. The moulded seats offer an optimal sitting position. An impression of the client’s body shape is made using an assessment chair and a vacuum cushion. Our covers are custom-made to each mould, they are detachable and machine washable. There are a variety of materials available each with their own benefits. Stylite Designs keep templates of each CFSS and new covers can be produced at any time. The moulded cushion can be combined with a variety of backrest options from modular to foam mould, MSI, Matrix and Pre-mould backrests.
