The ergonomic ACT5 is a multi-adjustable high back orthopaedic posture chair suitable for users between 5’ 6" (1.67m) and 6’ 2" (1.88m) tall.

Do you have an existing condition that would benefit from using an orthopaedic posture chair or are you just trying to improve your posture to prevent a problem occurring?

If so, the chances are the ACT5 is exactly what you are looking for.

Please Note
If you are below 5’ 6” (1.67m) tall, or you prefer a medium rather than a high back orthopaedic posture chair, then you probably require the ACT6. Click HERE for more information.

This ACT5 high back orthopaedic posture chair is ideal if you remain seated for long periods of time. The best sitting position for your body to reduce pressure on your discs has you with the seat tilted slightly forward and the seat and back angle between 90 and 105 degrees. Both seat and back angles can be adjusted independently so you can adjust to your most comfortable position.

The back cushion is curved to surround and support your back and the optional inflatable lumbar - in conjunction with the back height adjustment - targets lower back pain. Inflatable lumbar support, seat depth adjustment and a choice of arms are all available in this format - with Advantage Cobalt Blue (AD004) and Black (AD055) often already in stock.

In full, this ACT5 high back orthopaedic posture chair has the following standard specification:

Fully upholstered tri-curved high backrest shaped for shoulders & the kidney area. Tension control adjustable to bodyweight to ensure smooth movement.
Back height adjustment to ensure correct positioning of the inflatable lumbar support. Seat depth adjustment helps ensure correct leg positioning and support.
Independent seat and back angle adjustment, lockable in any position. Seat height adjustment to help ensure you are at the right desk height.

In addition, you can choose from any of the following Options:

Inflatable Lumbar Support can increase or decrease back support as you require. Foldaway Height Adjustable arms can be lowered flat to ensure access under the desk.
T-Shaped Height Adjustable arms can be set at 7 different levels to aid comfort. Slide-Back Adjustable arms adjust height and slide backwards or forwards for depth.
5-Spoke Black Base with smooth running castors for carpet or hard floors. Chrome Base looks great & gives added strength & support to chair for heavier users.

The Options for this item include:

Inflatable Lumbar

Inflatable Lumbar pump

This is not a gimic. The inflatable lumbar feature is an inflatable bag that runs horizontally within the lower part of the back cushion upholstery itself. It is inflated by squeezing a hand ball, very much like someone taking your blood pressure. The air is then released by simply squeezing a valve.

In conjunction with back height adjustment, it allows you to adjust and specifically target the amount of lower lumbar support into the small of your back. It also gives you the flexibility of adjusting the amount of support required at different times during the day. More than 90% of customers select this option.


Arms

Foldaway Arms
T-Shape Arms
Slideback Arms

Most Physiotherapists and DSE assessors recommend arms for you chair. They help reduce fatigue in the neck and shoulders and also help you get in and out of your chair.

Choose from "T-shaped" height adjustable arms, "Foldaway" height and foldaway adjustable arms or "Slide-back" height and sliding adjustable arms.

The T-shaped arms adjust to 6 different heights. Many people find that chair arms hit the leading edge of their desk.

Foldaway arms adjust to 6 heights and also rotate through 90-degrees allowing you to get right up to your desk, negating this problem, and allowing you to get to the optimum distance from your keyboard and screen.

Slide-back arms adjust to 6 different heights and also get around the desk problem by the arm pad sliding back, away from the desktop. This again allows you to adjust your sitting position to the correct distance from your keyboard and screen whilst maintaining elbow support the whole time.


Air-Care Technology


As you change body position during the course of the working day, Air-Care is designed to enhance support and follow your natural body movements with the continual distribution of air between the foam encapsulated chambers contained within the seat upholstery.

  • Unique system
  • Superior enhanced comfort
  • Pressure sensitive coccyx relief
  • Encourages correct posture
  • Offers superior weight distribution
  • Encourages active sitting
  • Aids in reduction of spinal compression and improves core stability

To make it easy for you to identify which chairs are available to test drive, these are clearly marked with a green star. Simply email us at info@badbackchairs.co.uk, send us your details and the chair you would like to try and we'll do the rest. Loan Chairs come in the most popular colour, Royal Blue, but when you order you'll have the full choice of fabric colour options.

** For organisations or individuals where an existing trading relationship is not already in place, we reserve the right to request a 50% deposit that we will hold during the term of the trial. Should you decide not to proceed with the purchase of the chair, upon the chair being received back in stock in good condition, you will receive a 100% refund of the deposit you have paid.

There is a non-refundable £20 delivery charge for all chairs sent out on a Try Before You Buy basis. This amount is payable at the time of paying the refundable deposit.

We send all of our items either via third party courier or using our own transport so that they are both traceable and insured against damage in transit.

Most furniture items are delivered flat-packed and require basic assembly skills. Please e-mail us at info@badbackchairs.co.uk for more information.

We hold the majority of the products we are selling in stock but obviously not in all of the different colours, arms, styles etc that are available. If we do not have the exact item you order in stock, we will advise you of any additional delays over and above the Estimated Delivery Time stated in the item specification above in your confirmation email.

We are sorry but we must be in possession of cleared funds before any item can be despatched.

All delivery charges are subject to VAT at the current rate.

Delivery Charges

There are a number of levels of delivery charges for items which are charged based on weight and size of the items ordered. Multiple items will unfortunately incur multiple delivery charges.

However, if ordering multiple items please call us before ordering on 01423 359070 to discuss the delivery charges as we may be able to reduce this cost depending upon requirements and delivery destination.

The Shipping charge including VAT for this item is £24.00

Delivery Lead Times

Depending upon your location the vast majority of our products will be delivered to you within 3 - 5 business days. However some specialist and larger items may take longer รขโ‚ฌโ€œ normally no longer than 10 working days. These estimated delivery times are shown within each relevant listing. Please Contact Us for a more accurate delivery expectation.

Delivery Times

We use a number of different carriers to deliver your items and deliveries take place between 8.00am - 6.00pm Monday to Friday. Unfortunately as they will be delivering a number of items during a day - and will plan their route accordingly - it is not possible to estimate accurately exactly at what time they may be delivering to you.

Delivery Destinations

We are sorry but we do not offer delivery outside the United Kingdom. However, we can deliver to any destination on the mainland. Unfortunately excessive courier charges and poor reliability mean that we cannot deliver to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, Isle of Man, Isles of Scilly and the Channel Islands. If in any doubt please Contact Us.

Delivery of Items

Depending upon what items you have ordered, it is quite possible that they may be coming from different warehouses - especially if you have ordered a mixture of seating and furniture items. In this case you will probably get 2 separate deliveries.

All items must be signed for and the courier will not leave any goods without obtaining a proof of delivery signature. Due to insurance reasons we are sorry but we cannot deliver to PO Box numbers.
