Quality standards - Anti-microbial & Fire Retardant

Anti-microbial fabric.

The fabric that Pozi Posture dental chair cushions are covered with, is impregnated with a high performing nanotechnology coating, which makes it permanently anti-microbial, and will last for the lifetime of the fabric. It has the broadest spectrum of effectiveness against 64 bacteria, 2 yeast, 8 algae, CDiff Spore, Norovirus, Coronavirus (including Covid 19) E-coli and MRSA.

The anti-microbial protection literally attracts microbes (viruses, fungi & bacteria) and physically destroys them immediately on impact. The efficiency of this protection has been tested for continued performance after years of use.

 

Durable and abrasion resistant.

Fire Retardant

As we are selling our products to clinical practices, both privately owned and in NHS hospitals, we feel that it’s important to stay abreast of health and safety standards, for everyone's sake. So it’s good to know that the materials in Pozi Posture memory foam cushions comply with UK fire regulations and will stand up to scrutiny if the need arises. Even though we produce a simply product, we have taken care to produce a good, simple product, taking the time to make sure it’s strong, safe and attractive, and good for years of reliable service.
