We’re delighted to report that our team at Healthcare Design Expo & Conference 2025 in Kansas City, MO (October 25-28, Booth #2129) had a productive and inspiring time engaging with healthcare facility professionals, designers, architects, and procurement teams.

Highlights & Takeaways:

• At our booth, we presented a robust range of seating solutions tailored for healthcare settings: lounge seating for waiting areas, ergonomic conference and staff chairs, high-traffic guest seating — all built with cleanability, comfort, and durability in mind. 9to5 Seating
• We discussed how seating isn’t just furniture—it plays a role in patient comfort, staff efficiency, infection control (via clean-out spaces and performance textiles), and even the overall perception of a care environment. Our refreshed Healthcare Brochure (2025 edition) supports this mission with detailed specs and design rationales. 9to5 Seating
• The common thread among attendees: a growing emphasis on human-centered design in healthcare facilities. Spaces must support healing, collaboration, movement, and adaptability. Seating that stays performing under rigorous use and cleaning protocols is now a baseline expectation, not an add-on.
• We heard from many facility planners how durability and ease of maintenance are as important as aesthetics. This aligns neatly with our commitment to serving healthcare-specific demands with seating engineered for the environment. 9to5 Seating

Why It Matters
In healthcare, seating often lives in the most demanding zones: patient rooms, waiting areas, nursing stations, dining lounges, and staff breakout zones. These spaces require furniture designed for endurance, comfort, and flexibility—seating that supports human needs and operational realities.

Thank you to everyone at HCD Expo 2025 who visited our booth, shared challenges and visions, and explored ways to elevate care through better seating solutions. We’re excited for what comes next and the role we’ll play together in transforming healthcare environments.
