A Small Trade Off. A Big Difference.

By choosing a chair with a modest increase in overall width and footprint, venues can provide significantly more usable seat width, greater foam volume, and a more comfortable experience for today’s guests.

A modest increase in chair width and footprint delivers significantly more usable seat width, greater foam volume, and a more comfortable experience for today's hospitality guests.

More Guest Comfort. Same Seating Footprint.

A wider chair doesn’t necessarily require a wider seating row. See how 18″, 18.5″, and 20″ hospitality chairs can each seat five guests within the same 109″ row giving more space to the guest and less to the gaps between chairs.

Wider seating puts more of the available floor space where it matters—in the chair. Guests sit slightly closer together, while each guest receives a wider seat, more cushioning, and greater seating comfort.
