Are You Sitting Comfortably? You’ll have noticed many retailers sell a dizzying range of sofas in an array of styles and fabrics. Many are complex affairs replete with cushions, ornamentation and fashionable frilly bits. They all look pretty good in the adverts to be fair. Indeed, they may feel great when you sample them in the store. Unfortunately, for long-term use, an elaborate sofa can be disastrous for your back. If a sofa is too soft or if it’s piled with pretty cushions that constantly shift and need adjustment then problems may ensue. You’ll struggle to get your back aligned. Fussy sofas encourage slouching or leaning to one side. You shuffle around trying to get comfortable. You start to stuff loose cushions into gaps to compensate for where the support is uneven. All of this is bad news for your back. The more you move around, the more you stress your spine. Gradually your core rigidity will ebb away. All this unnatural movement makes you more prone to back discomfort or injury. In short, some trendy sofas do not do what they’re supposed to do. That is, help you to sit comfortably.

Great Support As Standard

Happily, there is a sofa that puts less stress on your spine. A magnificent Chesterfield. The classic sofa design that’s versatile in any setting. It’s back-friendly too. Chesterfield furniture encourages you to sit well. It’s built into the tried and tested heritage design. A Chesterfield is from an age when people sat more formally. In days gone by, there was no TV to encourage long-term sofa use. And none of the indolence that has transformed us into couch potatoes with terrible posture. A Chesterfield’s firm seats, upright backrest and recessed buttons help you to sit at the right angle. A position that naturally supports your bodyweight. The low back lets you get comfortable. The armrests are at the perfect height to offer both comfort and support. But don’t mistake a Chesterfield sofa for an austere seating experience! In fact, you’ll feel infinitely better for much longer with one of these welcoming pieces. They’ll be no groaning as you get up from your sofa. No fighting to get free. You can stand up easily with a relaxed, unstressed back. Lovely! And yes, if you want to have a lie-down, no problem. You’ll still get the same benefits. Even stretched out you’ll get even support and be able to get up with little strain. All great Chesterfield features that reduce the chances of hurting your back.
