Frequently Asked Questions

We've spent over a decade trading as Dayex® establishing our place in the market as the fast, easy and reliable supplier of goods in 5 days. In 2016 we launched Edison & Day® and operated as two brands. We have spent 2020/2021 reflecting, researching and perfecting what we feel is a way of housing both brands together under one roof. So yes, we're still Dayex® but we're operating as Edison & Day® with Dayex® moving to our fast delivery service.

Yes As a contract furniture supplier to the healthcare industry, we provide care home fire retardant curtains and soft furnishings that all comply with industry standards including BS5867 & BS5852 CRIB5.

This is a question we get a lot. All of our chairs are made from either waterproof fabrics or faux leather vinyl. This makes them very easy to clean and protects the insides from any liquids. Often in the event of spillage on furniture, it is the first instinct to remove the fabrics from the cushions and stick them in the washing machine. This can however take the waterproofing out of the fabrics and does more harm than good. We find that the best way to clean the chairs is to dry up any liquids on the surface, spray with cold water or antibacterial solution and wipe with a micro-fibre cloth such as an e-cloth or similar. If using any cleaning solution it is vital to make sure you thoroughly rinse the fabric with cold, clean water. Solution left in the fabric will begin to attract dirt. This is both a quick and effective way to clean the chair, as well as preserving the chair for continued use.

All of the furniture you see on our site, or in our brochure, is care home specific. This means that the furniture has been designed for durability, ease of use, cleanliness and most importantly; comfort. All of our chairs are made from waterproof materials and sturdy hardwood hard wood frames. Within our range we have developed ranges that are specific to dementia patients. This includes furniture with a separate hanging space on wardrobes for “todays clothes”, cutaway handles on drawers so residents can see and recognise their function, and furniture with high contrasting colours to aid visibility. We’ve identified dementia friendly furniture with a yellow D symbol. Visit our dementia range section here.
