Seating Chairs and Aids for the Elderly and Disabled

We offer a wide selection of seating aids designed to enhance comfort, safety, and independence at home. Our range includes high back chairs, riser recliners, specialist chairs, porter chairs, leg rests and footstools, and pressure care cushions. Each product is designed to meet different needs, whether for long-term comfort, support with standing, or posture improvement. You can browse our full Seating Aids range to find the right solution.

A high back chair is a static seat with firm support, ideal for maintaining good posture and often used for extended periods of sitting. A riser recliner, on the other hand, is motorised and allows the user to recline or be gently raised to a standing position at the touch of a button—ideal for individuals with limited mobility who need assistance with transfers.

Yes, we offer posture-support chairs including orthopaedic seating, high back chairs with lumbar support, and chairs with adjustable features such as seat depth and tilt. These are suitable for users with spinal issues, postural needs, or long-term care requirements. Product listings provide details to help you choose the most appropriate option.

Choosing the right seat cushion depends on the user's mobility, time spent seated, and risk level for pressure sores. We offer foam cushions for low-risk users, gel and air cushions for moderate to high-risk individuals, and alternating air cushions for those requiring advanced pressure care. Each product page provides detailed guidance on suitability.

Lifting cushions are portable aids designed to help users rise from a seated position more easily. They typically use foam, pneumatic, or spring mechanisms to provide gentle upward support as the user stands. They’re ideal for those who find it difficult to get out of a standard chair but don’t require a full riser recliner.

Yes, most of our overchair tables feature adjustable height and tilt functions, allowing them to be positioned comfortably over chairs or beds. These tables are useful for meals, reading, and hobbies, and many include raised edges to help prevent items from slipping.

While porter chairs are primarily designed for indoor use, some models may be used outdoors on flat, even surfaces for short periods. Always check the product description for specific usage guidance. They’re ideal for transferring users within a home or care environment and often include adjustable recline and wheeled mobility.

Elevating the legs can help reduce swelling and promote better circulation, especially for users with limited mobility or circulation concerns. Our range includes height-adjustable leg rests and padded footstools designed to support comfortable leg elevation throughout the day.

Weight capacities vary depending on the chair model. Standard chairs typically support up to 18–21 stone (114–133kg), while bariatric options can accommodate higher weights. Each product page clearly lists the weight limit—please ensure you select a chair that suits your needs.

Some chairs, such as riser recliners, may require minor assembly or positioning of parts like the backrest or arm sections. Many high back chairs and specialist seating options are delivered fully assembled. Please refer to the product description or our Delivery & Returns page for specific information.
