High Back Chairs for Increased Comfort & Mobility
Finding a comfortable chair is important – not only for being able to relax, uncomfortable or poor fitting seats can cause stress and increase the risk of developing posture, balance and flexibility problems.
How to Choose a High Back Chair
The correct size and style of chair can make the world of difference to physical health and comfort.
Our team based in Whitton, West London have the knowledge and qualifications to help you choose the right size and style of chair to ensure your health and comfort, or that of a loved one. We stock a wide range of high back and recliner chairs in a range of colours and fabrics that customers are able to try in-store.
We are also able to order tailor made chairs that are measured to fit an individual’s size and needs. These can be manufactured with wings, filled in sides or other specifications that enhance safety and comfort when sitting.
Seat height – This can impact how easy it is to get in and out of the chair.
Armrest height – These should be at an elevation that allows you to rest the full length of the forearm without raising or lowering shoulders.
Seat depth – the full length of thighs should be supported without the need to lean back and a small gap of 2.5cm (1 inch) should be left behind the knees. This gap aids foot movement when it is time to get out of the chair.
Seat width – Seats should be wide enough for comfort, yet narrow enough to make use of armrests easily.
Posture – A good quality high back chair should support your spine in an ‘S’ position along all curves.
Support – Head and arms should be supported while hips and knees are kept level with each other when feet are resting on the floor.
