Washington Tilt in Space Cradle

Product Details

The Washington Tilt in Space Cradle is a specialist bathing chair designed to provide high levels of comfort, positioning support, and safety for people with severe physical disabilities. It is intended for users who need full postural support during bathing, including those with complex mobility needs where standard bath or shower seating is not suitable. The cradle design helps maintain a secure, supported position throughout bathing, reducing anxiety for the user and physical strain for carers.

Both the seat and backrest are generously padded to improve comfort during longer bathing routines. Integrated side wings provide additional lateral support, helping maintain alignment and stability. The padding and fabric tension can be adjusted to fine-tune positioning, allowing carers to adapt the cradle to the individual’s needs rather than forcing the user into a fixed posture. This makes the Washington Tilt in Space Cradle particularly suitable for users who require careful positioning support.

The cradle is mounted on a strong, plastic-coated steel frame that is water resistant and designed for regular use in wet environments. Four castors allow the cradle to be moved smoothly into position, while brakes on all wheels provide reassurance once stationary. Two gas springs enable controlled tilt adjustment between 5 and 35 degrees, allowing carers to find the most comfortable and secure bathing position. The silver anti-microbial coating on the frame supports infection control by reducing bacterial presence on contact surfaces.
