Tropitone Furniture Company, Inc., has announced the endorsement of its innovative URComfort™ self-adjusting seating by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA). This endorsement is a first for outdoor casual seating and one of very few for seating in general. Frank Verna, director of consumer sales and business development, says, “We are extremely pleased that the ACA has endorsed Tropitone URComfort seating. The ACA endorsement process is very rigorous. They want to ensure that any product that carries their endorsement label satisfies the high expectations of the buying public. Their reputation is at stake.” The ACA is based in Arlington, Virginia and is the largest professional association in the United States representing doctors of chiropractic. Its mission is to preserve, protect, improve, and promote chiropractic professionals for the benefit of the patients they serve. The ACA provides leadership in health care and a positive vision for chiropractic’s natural approach to health and wellness. A full line of URComfort cushion and sling seating was introduced in 2011. A patent for the revolutionary URComfort seat-adjustment system has been published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and is pending final approval. The URComfort seat-adjustment system uses multiple pivot points to allow articulated movement of both the back and the seat. This concept is starting to emerge in such advanced products as aviation seats. Richard Rivera, Tropitone’s vice president of engineering, says, “We have uniquely applied the multiple-pivot-point idea to the outdoor environment. One of our critical engineering design objectives was to make the articulatedmovement system simple and durable.” URComfort can be adapted to any body size and weight with the simple adjustment of a single knob on each side of the seat. The multiple-pivotpoint seat-adjustment system allows the user to find the most comfortable position without getting out of the chair. The few moving parts are elegantly simple and easy to maintain. Verna says, “One of the unique characteristics of the URComfort system is that it naturally finds your center of gravity and distributes your weight comfortably. People with or without back pain can easily find a comfortable position. URComfort seating is also offered in a range of firmness levels, from softer cushions to intermediate padded slings or firm slings and duplex slings. We have teamed with the ACA in an effort to communicate these critical benefits better.”
