Mobility Furniture

Our range of furniture for disabled people and elderly users helps create comfortable, accessible living spaces that support independence and wellbeing. Whether you’re furnishing a care home, adapting a family home for an ageing relative, or looking for specialist seating that offers therapeutic support, our collection of elderly furniture and handicap furniture is designed to combine practical functionality with genuine comfort.

From rise and recline chairs that help users stand up safely to healthcare chairs built for extended sitting, and from specialist seating with postural support to over-bed tables that bring activities within easy reach, every piece is chosen for its quality construction and user-focused design. Our rise and recline chairs feature smooth electric mechanisms that gently lift users to a standing position, reducing strain on joints and making sitting down and standing up significantly easier for those with limited mobility.

We stock adapted furniture from trusted manufacturers, with options to suit different care needs and home environments. Our healthcare chairs are built with pressure-relieving cushions, wipe-clean fabrics for easy maintenance, and sturdy frames that provide reliable support day after day. Specialist seating options include models with adjustable positioning, lateral supports and pressure care features for users who spend extended periods seated.

No two users have identical needs, which is why our range spans simple supportive chairs through to fully adjustable specialist seating systems. Browse below to find furniture for disabled people that matches your requirements, or call our team on 08000 250 999 for personalised advice.

FAQs

What are rise and recline chairs?

Rise and recline chairs are electrically operated armchairs that tilt backwards for comfortable reclining and lift forwards to help users stand up safely. They’re particularly valuable for elderly furniture users or those with joint pain, arthritis, or limited leg strength. The gentle lifting motion reduces strain on knees and hips, making it easier to get in and out of the chair independently without assistance.

How do I choose between standard and specialist seating?

Standard elderly furniture like rise and recline chairs suits most users who need help standing but don’t require postural support. Specialist seating is designed for users with specific postural needs, pressure care requirements, or those who spend many hours seated. Healthcare chairs fall between these categories, offering enhanced support and durability for care settings. Consider the user’s mobility level, time spent seated, and any postural or pressure care needs.

Are healthcare chairs suitable for home use?

Absolutely. Healthcare chairs are built to professional standards with durable construction and easy-clean fabrics, making them excellent for home use, especially where daily care is provided. They offer superior support and longevity compared to standard furniture, and many models are designed to look attractive in domestic settings whilst providing the practical benefits needed for furniture for disabled people.

Can adapted furniture be used with hoists?

Some specialist seating and healthcare chairs are designed to be compatible with hoists, featuring reinforced frames and appropriate clearances. If you need to transfer a user with a hoist, check the product specifications or speak with our team to ensure compatibility. We can recommend handicap furniture that works alongside your existing moving and handling equipment.

What’s the difference between elderly furniture and standard furniture?

Elderly furniture and furniture for disabled people are specifically designed with features that support reduced mobility, such as higher seat heights for easier standing, firmer cushions for better support, and sturdy armrests for leverage. Rise and recline mechanisms, pressure-relieving materials, and easy-clean fabrics are common features. Standard furniture may look similar but lacks these practical adaptations that make daily living easier.
