Care Home Reclining Chairs

Why reclining chairs matter in care settings

Elderly residents naturally have extended periods of sitting. This can place pressure on the lower back, legs, and circulation, so reclining chairs address this by allowing residents to adjust their position throughout the day. Moving improves comfort and blood flow. Our electronic riser models also aid patient transfers, making them an essential tool for carers working in nursing homes, supported living, and residential facilities.

Key features to look for include waterproof and fire-retardant upholstery, solid hardwood or steel frames. Other features include high-resilience foam for long-term durability and easy-clean fabrics suitable for contract use. Seat height, arm height, and recline angle are also important when matching a chair to a resident's individual needs. 

Some styles are more suitable than others for different needs. Speak to us if you would like more information. Key suitability is listed below to help you.

Reclining chair options for care homes

Furncare offers three core types of reclining chairs, each suited to different levels of resident mobility and care needs:

Manual Recliner

Operated by the resident using a side handle or lever. Ideal for those with sufficient upper body strength and independence.

Electric Recliner

These recliners are controlled via a handset, allowing effortless adjustment at the touch of a button. Electric recliners are perfect for residents with limited mobility or dexterity, and the hand controls are conveniently placed for access. 

Rise and Recliner

Combines reclining functionality with a powered seat-tilt mechanism that gently assists residents to a standing position, reducing fall risk and supporting carer safety.

Our collection of care home reclining chairs

Furncare offers nine reclining chairs purpose-built for care environments. Each model is available in a choice of contract-grade upholstery fabrics that are waterproof, fire-retardant and compliant. 

Wood finishes are available, including beech, oak, walnut, and wenge; these can be selected to complement existing furniture throughout your care home.

All nine chairs in the Furncare range are constructed to contract standards, combining comfort with the durability required for day-to-day use in care homes. Whether you are furnishing a single room or outfitting an entire facility, the range offers the flexibility to meet varying resident requirements across manual, electric, and rise-and-recline functions.
