compact folding seating

compact jump seat chairs for business offices patient waiting rooms lecture hall seatingSeating that is compact while also being flexible and durable in space-limited areas is difficult. Compact folding seating provide comfortable folding seats for healthcare, education, and corporations that maximize space by folding up to a profile of just four inches. The seats have a wide variety of applications, including patient rooms, waiting rooms, and other areas where space is constrained.

Compact folding seating can be used in any environment that requires condensed seating. Flex springs are based on the movements of the spine and cantilever into position using plywood slats instead of hinges or hardware. When the compact seats are folded up and not in use, the seats nearly disappear. Floor-mounted, wall-mounted, unmounted, or a combination of these options are all available depending on your specific seating needs. Read more about fold-down seating here.

Types Of compact folding seats Configurations

compact folding chairs for auditoriums corridors conference rooms librariesUnmounted compact folding seating are ideal for spaces that require flexibility and are available with fixed or movable bases. Each chair sits at a compact 10-degree pitch, and the fixed base features center-to-center seat spacing that makes them perfect for lecture halls, auditoriums, and reception areas. 

Wall-mounted folding seats cantilever off the walls and fold into four inches of space, which makes them ideal for corridors, patient waiting rooms, and other public areas where space is at a premium. The chair is mounted 6″ off the floor for ease of cleaning.

Floor-mounted options provide the same space-saving benefits of unmounted and wall-mounted options. They sit at 90 degrees and can be mounted to the floor and flush to a wall or used with a movable base. They are ideal to use as additional seating in narrow corridors, boardrooms, small offices, and library stacks.
