The Cura Porta Select has a choice of backrests

Cura Porta select neuro chair waterfall backrest optionWaterfall backrests are composed of a three-tier arrangement of cushions. Each cushion goes across the backrest horizontally and provides support to different parts of the back.

The cushions are also very soft so that you can well and truly sink into them. Not only is this very comfortable, but it’s also a great way to provide bespoke support to all areas of your spine.

Waterfall backrests are one of the most popular options we provide because of how versatile they are. Padding can be added or taken out of the cushions to provide customised comfort and support to suit you.

This backrest is particularly good for people with scoliosis and osteoporosis because it can easily be changed to provide support in the right areas.

Cura Porta select neuro chair lateral support backrest optionThoracic backrests offer more support up and down the sides of your back, which is great for people with trunk instability.

The lateral cushions stretch further up the backrest, from the hips right up to shoulder height. There’s then a horizontal cushion for the neck and head. As you can see here, the extended lateral supports will help to keep you upright and central in the seat itself.

The lateral cushions sit on either side of a traditional backrest cushion. The wings can be fitted with zips so that you can change the amount of stuffing depending on your comfort and needs.

Lateral backrests are usually better suited to people with more complex postural needs like scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis. This backrest will help to maintain a healthy midline position from the hips upwards, for good posture. A key hole cut-out neck cushion can also be fitted allowing the head to sink further into the cushion if required

Cura Porta select neuro chair butterfly backrest optionButterfly backrests are similar to thoracic support backrests and offer support up and down the sides of your back, which is great for people with trunk and head/neck instability.

The lateral cushions stretch all the way up the backrest, from the hips right up to and past neck height. As you can see here, the extended lateral supports will help to keep you upright and central in the seat itself while also keeping the head and neck more central and in line with the spine. The backrest is designed to allow the occupant to sink deeper into the cushion than a thoracic support backrest and allow the occupant to “sink” into the backrest.

The lateral cushions sit on either side of a the backrest cushion. The wings can be fitted with zips so that you can change the amount of stuffing depending on your comfort and needs.

Butterfly backrests are usually better suited to people with more complex postural needs like scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis, who also need lateral guidance to keep their neck & head more central in the chair. This backrest will help to maintain a healthy midline position from the hips upwards, which is key for good posture.

Available colours & fabrics

We can bring the actual material swatches with us when we carry out a seating assessment for you.

VP colour options

VP is short for vapour permeable. Having the seating surface finished in a VP material has many advantages as this type of fabric is waterproof and at the same time breathable. As it allows vapour to travel right through the cover at a controlled rate it reduces risk of internal infection entrapment and optimises core micro-climate

Cura Porta Chair's VP Layer

VP fabrics are also 4 way stretch

Our VP material has the benefit of being able to stretch is 4 directions (4 way stretch) which means it is flexible, has low friction, so avoids skin abrasions and is kind & gentle to the skin. 

We are able to provide the outer surfaces of your chair in any of the materials shown above plus a layer of VP material on the contact areas of the chair, i.e. seat base and backrest. Or the complete chair can have VP material.
