Why do care home chairs cost what they do?

If there is one question, we get asked more than any other it is, why do care home chairs cost so much? We would just like to take a few minutes to briefly explain why care home chairs cost what they do and then where we fit in too.

There’s the old saying, “you get what you pay for” and that’s exactly the reason care home chairs are priced the way they are. In the care home furniture market, there are different levels of quality across the different suppliers and manufacturers in the UK. One key reason for this is down to whether the company is a supplier or a manufacturer. In most cases, not all, someone who doesn’t manufacture furniture in-house cannot fully control their quality as it’s made by a 3rd party which can therefore mean the quality isn’t as high as someone who manufactures in-house which can then lead to them being able to offer the product at a cheaper price.

There are many ways in which care home chairs could be made less expensive such as by using lower quality foam, by using a lower grade of timber or by simply leaving out parts from the chairs that may not change the overall appearance of the chair but ultimately make it less comfortable and could lead to them not lasting very long. All these parts however are absolutely essential in creating the ultimate experience for your residents and making sure they are kept as comfortable as possible.
