Discover supportive sofas and chairs designed for easier everyday sitting, with high backs, upright seating positions, firm armrests and comfortable support. Ideal for older people, those with reduced mobility, or anyone who prefers a firmer, more supportive seat.
Beige Fabric High Back 3 and 2 Seater Recliner Suite
A firm, supportive high back fabric suite, made up of a three seater and a two seater in a soft, warm beige chenille. Both sofas have reclining ends, so you can put your feet up at either side, while the deep buttoned backrests support you all the way up to the head and shoulders. Wing sides and neat scroll arms give it a classic, cosy fireside look. The firmer seats and higher seat height make it much easier to get in and out of, which is exactly why this style is such a favourite with older customers and anyone who struggles with a low, soft sofa. It is built from hardwearing, easy-care fabric that stands up to daily use, and both pieces are in stock now for immediate delivery.

High Back Riser Recliner Chairs
A large selection of high back riser recliner chairs, always in stock at our Bolton warehouse. These are the supportive, high backed chairs designed with older customers and anyone with limited mobility in mind. At the touch of a button the chair reclines back for a proper rest, then rises and tilts gently forward to help you get to your feet with ease. Firm, supportive padding and a tall wingback design make them as comfortable as they are practical. We keep plenty on the floor in a range of fabrics and colours, so you can see them, try them and take one home the same day rather than waiting weeks for a special order. Priced around £500 to £600, they cost a fraction of what specialist mobility stores charge for a similar chair, often as much as four times the price. Come and sit in one, or give us a call and we will talk you through what is in stock. Same-day delivery available across the North West.

Oatmeal Fabric High Back 2 Seater and Armchair Set

The tall, well-padded backrests give proper support right up to the head and shoulders, making this a comfortable, easy choice for anyone who likes to sit upright and properly supported. The firmer seats and slightly higher seat height make it much easier to get in and out of, which is why sets like this are so popular with older customers and anyone who finds a low, squashy sofa a struggle. Neat wooden knuckle arm caps add a traditional touch and give you something solid to push up from. A practical, hardwearing everyday set, in stock now for immediate delivery.

Not everyone wants a sofa you disappear into.
For older people, those who are less mobile, or anyone who simply finds getting in and out of low, deep furniture more difficult, the right sofa or chair can make a real difference.
This collection brings together supportive sofas and armchairs with features such as high backs, firmer seats, upright sitting positions and sturdy armrests that can make sitting down and standing back up that little bit easier.
You’ll find high back sofas, supportive armchairs and matching sofa sets chosen with comfort and practicality in mind. Many offer a more traditional seating position, with better back support and less of the deep, soft cushioning found on some modern sofa designs.
These styles can be particularly suitable for elderly customers and people with reduced mobility, but they are also a great choice for anyone who simply prefers a firmer, more upright and supportive sofa.
As always at Alec’s, our stock includes ex-display, clearance and one-off furniture, so there are often some excellent-value sofas and chairs to be found. Stock changes regularly, so if you spot one that looks right for you or a family member, it is worth taking a closer look.
