Fireside Chairs

If you’re looking for a bit more comfort and support from your chair, but don’t have the space in your living room or the budget to stretch to a dual motor riser recliner, you might consider one of our fireside chairs. You’ll also see these referred to as high seat or high back seat chairs, as they feature higher, straighter backrests designed to encourage good sitting posture. Fireside chairs come in many different shapes, sizes and styles, and you should base your decision on the kind of support you need as well as your lifestyle and the level of mobility you currently enjoy.

It’s no good buying a chair you like the look of if it won’t offer good support and pressure relief in the long term! A contoured backrest, like that found on the Dorset Fireside Chair, will have extra padding in the lumbar area for more support to a key area. Button backrest designs, like on the Wentwood Fireside Chair, offer a more traditional style as well as pressure relieving padding throughout. We also stock waterfall backrests, which allow you to adjust the padding in the neck, back and lumbar regions. Further to this, our comfort living section also has a range of support pillows available.

While it seems like a small decision, you’ll also want to think about which style of armrest best suits your mobility and lifestyle, too. Filled armrests work well with winged backrests to trap warmth, stop draughts and keep you cosy, while solid knuckle armrests can help you lever yourself out of the chair, especially useful for those with weaker hands, wrists and knees. The CareCo range of high-back fireside chairs is available in a huge selection of upholsteries, colours and styles, so you can find the chair that suits your home as well as keeping yourself comfortable and free from aches and pains.

Should you require any extra support and assistance, our living aids section has a wide range of items, such as handy reacher grabbers and reading lamps, to help make everyday living easier.
