A 16″ (41 cm) wheelchair is considered a narrow adult size, while an 18″ (46 cm) wheelchair is the standard adult width. To determine the best fit, measure the user’s hips at their widest point while seated. The general guideline is to add approximately 5 cm (2″) to this measurement. A seat that is too wide makes self-propelling difficult, while one that is too narrow can cause pressure on the outer thighs. The CH1090 economy wheelchair is available in both sizes so you can choose the optimal fit.
Wheelchairs are typically grouped into categories based on their features and intended use. Category 1 covers basic manual wheelchairs without customisation; Category 2 includes standard manual wheelchairs with some adjustable components; and Category 3 refers to lightweight manual wheelchairs designed for users who are more active and require a chair with enhanced manoeuvrability and reduced weight. The EZee Life CH1090 is a standard economy manual wheelchair built for dependable everyday use, offering essential comfort and safety features at an accessible price point.
Standard wheelchairs are manufactured in 5 cm (2″) increments of seat width, typically ranging from 14″ (36 cm) to 22″ (56 cm). The most common adult sizes are 16″ (41 cm) for a narrower fit and 18″ (46 cm) for a standard fit. Odd sizes such as 15″ or 17″ are usually available only in higher-priced custom models. The CH1090 is available in the two most popular standard sizes — 16″ and 18″ — covering the needs of the majority of adult users across Canada.

Choosing the right size wheelchair is important to the comfort and functionality of the wheelchair user. Wheelchairs are generally sized by seat dimensions. When a wheelchair is described as an 18" wheelchair it will have an 18" seat width.
If the wheelchair is too wide the user will have difficulty propelling the wheelchair and manoeuvrings through tight areas may be impossible. If the wheelchair is too narrow the user's outer thighs will be pushed against the armrests of the wheelchair causing discomfort and in extreme cases skin breakdown.
The first step in determining the needed seat width for a user is to measure the width of their hips, at their widest point, while they are sitting.
The general rule of thumb is to add 2" to the user's width to determine the wheelchair seat size. However, if the user will not normally be going out wearing a heavy coat this added 2" may not be needed. Ideally, the seat width of the wheelchair should be as narrow as possible without causing pressure on the user's hips.
Wheelchairs are manufactured in 2" increments of seat width (14", 16", 18", etc.) with 16" being considered a narrow adult size and 18" being a normal seat width. Odd sizes (15", 17", 19", etc) are available in the much higher priced custom wheelchairs.
