Chair Styles
The most comfortable chair you'll ever sit in
From the moment you sit down, you'll feel the difference. The Steadfast supports you in all the right places - and when you want to change position, the smooth dual tilt-in-space mechanism moves with you, not against you.
Swivel to face the window. Recline a little further. Everything feels easy because it's engineered to be. No rattling, no jolting. Just quiet, steady comfort that makes you wonder how you ever sat in anything else. But don't just take our word for it!
A chair that fits your home, not the other way around
With a carefully considered design and hundreds of fabrics to choose from, your Steadfast will look exactly the way you want it to.
Pick the colour, the texture, the finish - whether that's a classic leather, a soft chenille, or something altogether bolder, it's your chair, your way.
The technology is hidden, but the comfort is obvious.
The Steadfast uses tilt-in-space technology - the kind normally reserved for specialist seating. Instead of pushing you forward or cranking your back flat, the whole chair rises and reclines together, keeping your hips, knees, and ankles at the same comfortable angle throughout. Less strain. More support. In every position.
And because The Steadfast swivels a full 360°, you can turn to face any direction without standing up. The moment you rise or recline, the swivel locks on its own — so you move freely when you want to, and stay steady when it matters.
Try one at home - and feel the difference for yourself.
Frequently asked questions
What makes The Steadfast different from other riser recliners?
Most riser recliners do one thing: they sit still, facing one direction, tethered to the nearest wall socket. The Steadfast was designed from the ground up to be different.
It swivels smoothly, so you can turn to face the television, the window, or whoever's just come through the door — without getting up. And because it runs on a built-in rechargeable battery, there's no cable to the wall. Just charge it once a week with the magnetic charger that clips onto the back, and place it wherever you like in the room.
Everything is operated from an easy-to-hold handset — raise, recline, rise. Clearly laid out, obvious at a glance, always to hand.
The clever dual tilt-in-space mechanism that powers the movement is completely hidden — no visible mechanics, no industrial look. Just smooth, steady motion you can trust.
Perhaps the biggest difference is how it looks. The Steadfast was designed to be a beautiful piece of furniture — clean lines, quality materials, the kind of chair you're happy to have in your living room. A chair you choose, not one you settled for.
Why does it swivel? Do I really need that?
You might be surprised how much you use it. The 360° swivel means you can turn to face the television, the window, or whoever just walked through the door - without getting up. It's a small freedom that makes a genuine difference to how you use your living room. No more twisting in your seat or craning your neck.
I've heard riser recliners can creak or feel flimsy over time. Is that an issue?
Build quality varies enormously in this market, and we won't pretend otherwise. Some chairs are built to a price; The Steadfast is built to a standard. Quality materials, a solid frame, and a smooth mechanism mean it's designed to feel as good in year five as it does on day one. That's what you should expect from a chair you'll use every day.
Where is The Steadfast made?
Every Steadfast is built in Nottinghamshire - right in the heartland of British furniture making. The region has been home to skilled upholsterers and furniture craftspeople for generations, and that heritage runs through every chair we produce. Each one is finished in the fabric and colour you choose. Keeping production local means better quality control, shorter delivery times, and easier access to support and spare parts if you ever need them. In an industry where many chairs are imported and assembled from overseas components, we're proud that ours are built right here in Britain.
How do the controls work?
Everything sits on a single handset: raise, recline, and rise. The buttons are clearly laid out and comfortable to hold, so it's obvious at a glance which one you want — no menus, no guesswork. Press and the chair moves gently; release and it stops exactly where you are.
I'm worried a riser recliner will make me look old. Is this really for me?
We hear this a lot, and we understand it completely. Nobody wants their living room to feel like a waiting room. That's exactly why we made The Steadfast the way we did - it looks like a chair you'd choose because you love it, not because you needed it. Our customers are active, engaged people who value good design and happen to want more comfort or a bit of help standing. There's nothing to apologise for in that.
Does The Steadfast need to be plugged in?
No. The Steadfast is fully wireless - it runs on a built-in rechargeable battery, so there's no cable to the wall and no socket to plan around. You just clip the magnetic charger onto the back of the chair to charge it once a week, and that's it. The rest of the time, it's completely cable-free. Place it wherever you like in the room.
What happens if there's a power cut?
It makes no difference. The Steadfast is fully wireless - it runs on a built-in rechargeable battery, not a mains connection. So whether the power's on or off, your chair works exactly the same way. You're never left stuck.
Am I eligible for VAT relief?
If you have a long-term health condition or disability - such as arthritis, diabetes, or a condition that affects your ability to carry out everyday activities - you may be eligible to purchase The Steadfast without paying VAT. You don't need a doctor's letter; you simply complete a short VAT exemption declaration. It's a straightforward process, and we're happy to walk you through it.
Can someone help me try the chair before I buy it?
Absolutely. We know this is a big decision, and sitting in a chair is worth a thousand photographs. We'd never want you to commit to something you haven't experienced. Visit the Try at Home page to book or request an appointment.
