The Furniture Care Crisis: Why Rise-Recliners And Supportive Mattresses Are Keeping Older Brits Independent

Rise-Recliner Chairs | Practical Furniture Solutions by Your Home Furniture“With Britain's 75+ aged population growing rapidly, Your Home Furniture announced its Wellness Living Room expansion with practical furniture solutions to help older adults stay safe, confident, and comfortable at home.”
Newark, UK - As Britain's population ages and more families take on the role of caring for elderly relatives at home, Your Home Furniture has expanded its Wellness Living Room campaign as an initiative dedicated to helping older adults live safely, comfortably, and independently. The campaign highlights the practical furniture innovations such as rise-recliner chairs, pressure-relieving mattresses, and ergonomic living-room workstations, especially designed to support older adults' everyday movement and wellbeing.
The expansion comes at a crucial time. The number of people aged 75 and over is expected to rise sharply in the coming decades, while falls and mobility challenges continue to threaten independence for many. For families supporting loved ones at home, the right chair or mattress is no longer just considered for comfort but as a lifeline. The one that enables safety for older adults, helping them live more confidently, independently, and with dignity in their own homes.
Rise-recliners: A Simple Change with Life-changing Impact
Rise-recliners assist the sit-to-stand movement, one of the most important daily actions for an older person's independence, reducing strain, improving posture, and lowering the risk of falls. Your Home Furniture's curated rise-recliner collection includes models that combine dignity, comfort, and style:
-
La-Z-Boy Paris (fabric or leather): Generous padding, targeted lumbar support, and an adjustable head tilt for everyday comfort and versatility.
La-Z-Boy Bella: Similar to the Paris collection but with the option of heated seats for therapeutic warmth.
Sherborne Roma: Available in fixed, power, and lift & rise formats and in multiple sizes (petite to royale), with easy-clean aqua fabrics, soft chenilles, and leather options.
Sherborne Comfi-Sit: Lift & rise is currently online, featuring a waterfall-stitched back with the option to specify a full suite.
Buoyant Fantasia (in-store): Family-friendly, featuring plush fabrics, a choice of cushion or standard backs, and corner sofas with integrated sofa-beds, providing a practical, value-driven choice for multi-generational homes.
The company, Your Home Furniture, offers in-store demonstrations and honest, jargon-free buying guidance, so carers and families can test lift heights, seat depth, and control simplicity before making a purchase.
Mattresses: Sleep, Skin Health, and Pressure Relief
Pressure-relieving Mattresses | Your Home Furniture
For older adults, mattresses do more than just to provide comfort. They help to protect skin integrity, support restful sleep, and reduce pressure-related harm. The Wellness Living Room mattress collection features supportive foam, hybrid, and pressure-relief options, along with clear, plain-English guidance on firmness, overlays, and cover care for caregivers and family members.
Multi-Use Living Rooms & Ergonomics: Working, Resting and Caring at Home
With many households combining work, care, and relaxation in one room, small ergonomic changes can make a huge difference. Your Home Furniture recommends compact, supportive seating and practical desks to create safe, DSE-friendly living spaces without requiring a full office conversion.
Featured multi-use and ergonomic pieces:
-
Ashwood Designs Hansson: Soft-edged, modular seating in smaller proportions with chaise options for stretch-out comfort and flexible layouts.
Buoyant Fantasia: Durable, soft-touch fabrics and versatile layouts that suit family life and frequent visitors.
Fireside Chairs: Posture, Tradition and Practical Support
For those who prefer a classic look, fireside and wing chairs by the company can provide upright support and firm posture for safer transfers:
-
Regency Patchwork Fireside Chair bold or mono patchwork choices for characterful support.
Chichester Wing Chair is a traditional wingback suited to reading rooms, cottages, and smaller lounges.
