Calvin | Hip Chair

Spec Furniture

The SPEC Calvin Hip Chair is designed to support hip surgery patients with comfortable, stable seating during recovery. Its 24" elevated seat height reduces strain during sit-to-stand transitions, while a wall-saver design protects walls as patients move. Built for high-use clinical settings, the welded steel frame supports up to 500 lb and houses replaceable cushions. Urethane armcaps resist wear, and seam-sealed, non-porous upholstery with antibacterial/antimicrobial fabric options simplifies infection control. Ergonomic features include lumbar support, a waterfall front edge, and a built-in footrest to encourage safe movement.

  • 24" elevated seat height facilitates easy transfers and proper hip alignment.
  • Wall-saver design protects walls and baseboards during mobilization.
  • Medical-grade construction with a welded steel frame and 500 lb capacity; replaceable cushions; urethane armcaps.
  • Easy-clean upholstery with seam-sealed, non-porous surfaces; antimicrobial options available.
  • Customization includes 76 Spectone frame colors; polyurethane, wood, or Corian arms; fire barrier and stain-resistant fabrics; removable Velcro back covers.

Ideal for healthcare facilities, physical therapy clinics, and home recovery, the Calvin Hip Chair combines therapeutic design with hospital-grade durability to support ongoing rehabilitation and safe mobility.
