Comfortable Chair for brother, just diagnosed for 3rd time

I am new to the page and althought i myself am not being treated for Cancer My Brother John has been diagnosed for the third time in 15 years. 

I Know what he has to go through whilst going through the treatment and i am hoping  if it is ok for me to ask a question in regards to his care.

One of the ways i can help him is in that he knows due to previous treatments that he will spend a lot of time sitting and his idea is to sit in his bedroom which is downstairs for long periods of time, save him struggling walking. 

We live on the Isle of Man and one thing we are short of over here is furniture shops. He is trying to find a comfortable chair to sit in for long periods of time and as i say there are not many shops that sell chairs that he can try out. 

Would anyone be able to advise me through themselves or a relative/friend a chair (not leather) that would be comfortable enough for him. We can order from the UK which is not a problem.

Thank you for reading my post

  • Hello berty61,

                         l know where you are coming from with this,having previously spent way too long stuck in chairs.The thing l found that l was stuck in one facing position and had difficulty reaching things around me,so had you considered having a swivelling reclining chair,but ensure you get one that locks the swivel easily in position for getting in and out of,just a thought.

                    

    l understand the limitations of island life,but also appreciate the upsides,living as l do on the Outer Hebrides, and remember your island with great affection from my days spent on fast moving two wheels, the images burnt strongly on my mind,its a very special place,

  • Hi David

    i will mention this to him and his wife also all other advice, this page is so helpful, lovely people.

    To be honest i love island and its little shops and way of life and would never change it. I love the TT i colect all the memorabilia and hopefully one day they will open a TT Museum where i can donate it to.

    Stay safe and thank you
