Click to zoomNova Steel Wheelchair with Extra Wide Seat
The seat is 22" or 24" across and 18" deep, where every narrower chair in the line is 16" deep. Nova rate the 22" at 350 lbs. and the 24" at 425 lbs., which is a real difference rather than a rounding.
Nova's wide steel chair, with removable arms and an 18 inch deep seat.
What stands out
Read the capacity line before you pick a width. The 22" chair is rated 350 lbs. and the 24" is rated 425 lbs., a 75 lbs. gap for $40 more, so if the rider is anywhere near 350 lbs. the 24" is the order to place. On our capacity bands the 22" is a heavy duty chair and the 24" is a bariatric one, and they are the same product page because they are the same chair with a wider seat. Then measure the doorways. Open, the 22" chair is 31.25" across and the 24" is 32.25", so a 32" interior door is tight and a 30" one will not pass. That is the constraint that sends most buyers back to a narrower chair, and it is worth checking with a tape measure before ordering. Folded both chairs come down to 14.5" wide. At about 53 lbs. this is not a chair one person lifts into a car on their own.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- A rider who measures more than 20" across the hips seated
- A rider up to 425 lbs. at the 24" seat width, or up to 350 lbs. at 22"
- Someone who needs an 18" deep seat to support more of the thigh
- A household with doorways of 33" or more on the route the chair has to take
Look elsewhere if you
- A home with 30" interior doors, because the chair is over 31" wide open
- A rider who needs the chair lifted into a car by one person, at about 53 lbs.
- Anyone under 20" across the hips seated, where a narrower chair rides better
- A rider over 425 lbs.
- A rider who needs the back to recline
