Description
The Lunar Heavy Duty Mid Support backrest is Future Mobility's 500 lb (227 kg) mid-height foam wheelchair back support for aggressive lateral support under high load. Westin Healthcare fits it in Brampton and across the Greater Toronto Area after a seating check on the chair.
This is the Lunar HD mid-back height (16 to 18 in) from 22 in wide. It is not the HD full height, and it is not the 250 lb Lunar Basic Mid.
Who this back support is for
The Lunar Heavy Duty Mid Support backrest is for a person at or under 500 lb (227 kg) whose seating therapist wants a ribbed extra-large Lunar shell in a mid height, with basic or ultra laterals.
A seating therapist should confirm the height and the lateral style. Westin does not give clinical positioning advice. If you have questions about posture or transfers, ask the therapist who assessed you, or call us and we will book that conversation.
Hardware, laterals, and fit
The shell is aluminum with reinforcement ribs. Foam is replaceable. Pins take up to a 2 in (5 cm) seat-width difference. Height, depth, and recline angle adjust on the hardware. Lower latch levers release the back. Hardware fits 3/4 in, 7/8 in, and 1 in canes.
Use Model Choice for Basic Lateral or Ultra Lateral. Lunar HD does not offer a no-lateral factory style.
- Mid-back heights 16 and 18 in (41 and 46 cm)
- Widths 22 to 32 in (56 to 81 cm)
- Cover colours: black, navy blue, burgundy, royal blue, dark green

Sizes, colours, and laterals

HD Mid, HD Full, or Lunar Basic Mid

Funding help for a wheelchair cushion or back support in Ontario
This cushion or back support is an ADP positioning device category item. Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) can fund 75% of the cost of positioning devices such as cushions and back supports when they are prescribed through an assessment by an ADP-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist with an eligible mobility device, and some income-support programs cover the full cost. Not every product qualifies, so talk to us before you buy. March of Dimes Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), and community programs can also help. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through.
Delivery and setup in Brampton and the GTA
Westin's own team delivers and fits this back support across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. We bring it in, mount it on the wheelchair canes, and show you the quick-release latches before we leave.
We have three stores in the Brampton and Toronto area if you would rather see a wheelchair back support first.
