Matrx Elite Deep Back

The Invacare Matrx Elite Deep Backrest is a contoured wheelchair backrest designed for users who need greater lateral trunk support, improved pelvic stability, and a more secure seated posture. Built with deep lateral supports, the Elite Deep helps provide optimal trunk support while still allowing clearance at the shoulders and hips for functional movement, transfers, and daily mobility.

With its 6″ contour depth, the Elite Deep offers more postural control than the standard contour Matrx Elite Back while maintaining the lightweight, attractive design that makes the Elite series well suited for active users. The contoured shell helps reduce side-to-side movement, improve seated alignment, and support the pelvis and trunk throughout daily wheelchair use. Easy Set hardware allows precise backrest positioning, while the oversized foam and cover design help improve comfort and reduce contact with hard shell edges.

Deep Contour Support for Improved Stability

The Matrx Elite Deep Back is designed for users who need a more supportive seating surface than a standard contour backrest can provide. Its 6″ deep contour creates greater contact around the trunk, helping improve lateral stability and maintain a more secure seated position throughout the day.

This added support can be especially helpful for users who experience trunk weakness, fatigue, leaning, or difficulty maintaining upright posture in standard sling upholstery. At the same time, the shell design allows clearance at the shoulders and hips, helping users maintain the movement needed for reaching, propulsion, transfers, and daily activities.

Lightweight Support for Active Users

The Elite Deep offers enhanced postural support without the bulky feel of some high-support backrests. Its attractive, lightweight shell design makes it a practical option for users who want increased trunk stability while maintaining an active, functional wheelchair setup.

For users who need more support than the standard Elite Back but still value mobility, comfort, and freedom of movement, the Elite Deep provides a strong balance of positioning and daily usability.

Easy Set Hardware & Positioning

The Elite Deep Back uses Easy Set hardware designed to make installation and adjustment straightforward. The hardware allows the backrest to be positioned for improved height, depth, and angle, helping match the backrest to the user’s posture, wheelchair frame, and support needs.

This adjustability allows providers to fine-tune the backrest for a more secure, comfortable, and functional seating setup.

Cover, Comfort & Lumbar Support

The Matrx Elite Deep Back includes a breathable, moisture-resistant cover designed for daily wheelchair use. The oversized foam and cover overlap the shell edges to improve comfort and help protect the user from hard contact points around the shell.

A removable lumbar positioning pad is included to provide added lower-back support and allow minor comfort adjustments during setup.
