“We're getting a lot more calls for specialty seating — which is something we've always manufactured — not in a rehab seat necessarily, but also for a person who just wants a better seat. The [seating and positioning] market is growing, and people are catching on that they can get a seat with the proper depth and width, if they just ask.”
— DuWayne Kramer, president, Leisure-Lift, Kansas City, Kan.
