Choosing a comfortable chair

Look at Stressless, not the copies but the real thing.

Go to a good stockist and they will talk you through the right chair, they come in different sizes.

From experience, don’t buy a Rise and Recline Chair. We bought my late Mum one and although we tested it in the shop and the assistant was happy she knew how to operate it, within weeks she could not remember. She had Alzheimer's but not too bad.

Several times she couldn’t work it out and ended up trying to climb out of it while the leg section was about 3ft in the air! Very dangerous. We had to disconnect the power supply and when she went into a care home she took it and they said they no longer use them unless power is disconnected because they are not safe for people with dementia.

I was given a wing chair post hip surgery but found it very uncomfortable because of it’s straight back. So I gave it away, clearly not the only one who found it uncomfortable.

HSL. Take your husband along and they will “fit” him to a suitable chair.

P.S - HSL sell “stress less”

I agree re proper Stressless recliners

Try British heart foundation they had some beautiful chairs in for a fraction of the price. I think it was a job lot!
