1. Structure

When purchasing hospital waiting chairs, carbon steel thickened pipe structure should be given priority. The bracket thickness is recommended to be ≥1.5mm to ensure strong pressure resistance and not easy to deform. Ordinary market chairs look the same, but in fact the tube wall is thin and the welding is loose, which may shake and dent within half a year.

Detail suggestions:

The beam-type main support design is more solid than point welding;

The chair legs adopt the "all-welded" process and do not use screws for splicing;

The surface is phosphated + electrostatic sprayed for rust and corrosion resistance.

2. Materials

a. Stainless steel ≠ durable, there are differences in material grades

Many people mistakenly believe that "stainless steel is equal to high-end". However, there are many types of stainless steel on the market, and only stainless steel of 304 and above grades are truly corrosion-resistant and fingerprint-resistant, suitable for use in hospitals and other places. Although the surface of 201 or lower grade materials is bright, it is easy to rust and deform.

Suggestions:

Specify the material grade requirements and indicate "304 stainless steel";

Surface treatment technology should be brushed or sandblasted to prevent scratches;

Confirm that there is an antibacterial coating to reduce bacterial residue.

b. Seat cushion/backrest material determines comfort and lifespan

Comfort affects the patient's mood, and durability determines the purchase return. When choosing a hospital waiting chair, it is recommended to use a combination of PU leather + high-density shaped sponge, which is wear-resistant, easy to clean, and not easy to collapse and deform.

Recommended indicators:

Seat cushion density ≥ 45kg/m³;

PU surface thickness ≥ 1.2mm, with flame retardant function;

Seat cushion quick-release design for easy replacement and maintenance.

3. Details

A good hospital waiting chair should not only be load-bearing and durable, but also consider the user's feelings. The following functions are often "plus points" for details:

Each seat has independent armrests to facilitate the elderly to get up;

Equipped with a middle item tray or USB charging port;

The color is neutral and soft, and it is not depressing when matched with the hospital environment.
