Why Buying the Wrong Chair Size is Costly – And How We Make Sure You Get the Right Fit

When it comes to riser recliner chairs, one size certainly does not fit all. We see it time and time again — customers coming to us after buying a chair that was either too big, too small, or simply the wrong shape for their needs. The result? Wasted money, daily discomfort, and sometimes even health problems that could have been avoided.

So why does chair size matter so much, and how do we make sure our customers always get the right fit?

The Problem With the Wrong Chair Size

Too Big – If a chair is oversized, you’ll struggle to sit upright properly. Your feet may dangle, your back won’t be fully supported, and the rise-and-recline function won’t feel natural. Over time, this can cause back pain, poor posture, and reduced circulation.
Too Small – A chair that’s too small can be just as bad. You may feel cramped, your weight won’t be supported evenly, and the leg rest may not support your legs properly. This leads to pressure points, hip discomfort, and a chair you’ll avoid sitting in.
The Costly Mistake – A poorly fitted chair often ends up unused in the corner, or replaced far sooner than expected. What looked like a “bargain” quickly becomes wasted money.

How We Make Sure You Get the Right Fit

At YouFirst Chairs, we believe a riser recliner should feel like it was made for you. That’s why we’ve developed a unique sizing station — the only one of its kind in Sussex.

Here’s how it works:

Precise Measurements – We check your height, leg length, seat width, and posture.
Test & Adjust – You can try different chair sizes in our showroom — from petite to super Grande — and feel the difference instantly.
Tailored Choice – Once we know your measurements, we guide you towards the models that will keep you properly supported and comfortable.

The difference is remarkable. Many customers are shocked at how much easier it is to stand, how much better their posture feels, and how much longer they can sit comfortably when the chair is the right size.

More Than Comfort — It’s About Health

A well-fitted riser recliner doesn’t just make life easier. It can also help with:

Improved circulation from proper leg elevation.
Better posture and reduced back strain.
Easier standing with the rise function at the right angle.
Long-term savings because your chair will support you for years, not months.
