Available in low, mid and high back models, our height adjustable chairs are perfect for anyone who finds their current chairs too low or is unable to bend as far as they used to. View our range of height adjustable chairs in different styles and upholstery below.
As we get older or manage health conditions, everyday actions like sitting and standing can become harder on the body.
A height-adjustable chair can help take the strain off your joints, offer the right level of postural support, and make rest time safer and more comfortable. Whether you're choosing for yourself, a loved one, or a client, the right chair makes a real difference in maintaining independence at home.
Who Needs a Height-Adjustable Chair?
High chairs for seniors and adjustable chairs are commonly used by:
- Older adults who struggle with low seating
- People recovering from surgery or managing musculoskeletal conditions
- NDIS or Home Care Package clients/participants
-
Carers and allied health professionals seeking safe, supportive seating solutions
If someone finds it harder to stand from soft or low furniture, avoids sitting for long periods, or experiences back and hip strain, a height-adjustable chair can offer practical support.
Why Chair Height Matters
Chair height impacts how safely and easily you can stand or sit without putting pressure on your knees, hips, or back.
The right chair can help:
- Reduce strain on joints and muscles
- Minimise the risk of falls or awkward movements
- Improve posture and comfort during rest
- Make it easier to move between sitting and standing without assistance
Adjustable Chairs for People with Disabilities
We offer adjustable chairs for elderly users and those with disabilities, with features designed for real-world use:
- Height adjustments to match leg length and seating position
- Armrests and backrests for extra support and comfort
- Wide seats and reinforced frames for safety and durability
- Wipeable, medical-grade upholstery to suit clinical and home settings
Some of our height-adjustable chairs for elderly people also feature angled or contoured seating to distribute pressure better, which is especially useful for those with circulation issues or spending extended time seated.
How to Choose the Right Height-Adjustable Chair
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to supportive seating.
To choose the right height-adjustable chair, consider where it will be used – whether that’s in the living room, bedroom, or a clinical setting, how much time will be spent sitting in it each day, the person’s mobility level, posture, and any personal care needs.
It’s also important to think about how the chair will work alongside existing equipment, such as electric lift chairs or other mobility walking aids.
If you’re not sure what’s best, contact us directly via our website for further advice or alternatively arrange an obligation free 1-hour consulation at our Balwyn showroom. We’ll listen to your goals and health needs to help match you with a supportive chair that works for your current situation, and any changes down the track.
Pairing Your Chair with Other Mobility Supports
An adjustable chair for elderly people often forms part of a broader home care setup. That might include:
- Electric lift chairs for the elderly for extra ease of standing
- Mobility walking aids for safer movement between rooms
- Pressure care cushions or overlays for comfort and circulation
We help ensure these products work well together, making life more seamless, especially for carers or those clients/participants receiving NDIS or DVA funding support.
