If you’re familiar with lightweight folding powerchairs, you’ve probably heard of the Q50 R Carbon from Sunrise Medical. Indeed, if you use a lightweight folding powerchair, there’s a significant chance that it actually is that particular model. So you can imagine the excitement at Lifestyle & Mobility when Sunrise announced the start of a new chapter in the Q50 R Carbon story. And that chapter? The Q50 R Carbon Comfort. It’s new on the market, and ready to purchase. This article will look at how one of the best lightweight folding powerchairs around just got even better. Read on!

Questions of Comfort

The Comfort model is a variant of the existing Q50 R Carbon. It was designed as a specific response to the popularity of that model. Essentially, it is all about providing enhanced comfort for users who want to spend extended periods in this folding powerchair. How does it achieve this?

Well, first and foremost, a big part of what makes this particular model so comfortable comes free of charge at the point of order! That would be the new LowZone Comfort Cushion. This cushion was developed with technology from the Sunrise Medical Helping Hand cushion portfolio. Thanks to thicker, more intensively pressure-relieving foam, superior comfort and support for longer journeys  are a given with this upholstery upgrade. Best of all, this comes free of charge as part of the Q50 R Comfort basic bundle! It’s not every day that you get bargains like this, particularly not when it comes to a popular premium powerchair in its class.

Seek Out Your Perfect Seat

And the backrest is just one part of a larger offering for increased comfort. With this chair, there are some cost options available which can take things even further. In particular, there is the brand-new Comfort Backrest Upholstery. This helps to enhance the chair by allowing for a more personal comfort experience whilst sitting in it. Because it is shaped to the natural contours of the back, this new and improved backrest offers a more supportive seating experience. The upholstery on the comfort backrest covers a layer of soft, breathable foam. Because the foam is breathable, temperature regulation becomes much easier for the user.

As you can also see from the reverse side of the Comfort Backrest Upholstery option on the Q50 R Carbon Comfort shown on the right, it is removable if needed. That feature is invaluable for as and when this cushion needs to be cleaned. Another little aspect of convenience which makes a big difference!
