Buyer’s guide
Specifying care home seating
Fire safety
Care settings typically specify seating to BS 7176 and curtains to BS 5867. See our UK fire-safety guide and confirm with your fire risk assessor.
Choosing foam
Tell us the seat type and residents' needs, and we'll recommend a firmness and thickness.
How it works
From your brief to your door
- 01
Send your brief
Sizes, quantities, fabric ideas and your deadline. Photos, drawings or old covers all work. We reply the same day during business hours.
- 02
Approve the spec and quote
You get a spec sheet with every dimension and option, plus a project quote. Nothing is cut until you sign off. Order swatches if you'd like to see the fabric first.
- 03
We make it
A deposit starts production, which takes 2–3 weeks for standard shapes, 5–6 weeks for custom shapes made from your template, and 8–12 weeks for Ultraleather and Gabriel. Rush production is available for standard shapes. If anything slips, you hear from us before the date, not after.
- 04
Delivered, tracked and insured
The balance is due before dispatch. Every delivery is tracked and insured. Covers and foam may arrive separately, and foam needs 12–18 hours to expand once unpacked.

Do your fabrics meet UK fire regulations?
Tell us your requirement (for example BS 7176 for seating or BS 5867 for curtains) and we confirm which fabrics have test documentation before you order. See our UK fire-safety guide.

Standard shapes are made and dispatched in 2–3 weeks from spec approval. Custom shapes made from your template take 5–6 weeks from when we receive it, and Ultraleather and Gabriel take 8–12 weeks. Rush production is available for standard shapes. See how commercial orders work.
How does payment work for projects?
Quoted projects are invoiced: a deposit starts production and the balance is due before dispatch. Card payment is available for smaller orders.
Is there trade pricing?
Yes. Approved trade accounts get 10% off from approval, rising to 15% and 20% as your 12-month spend grows. There's no minimum order. See the trade programme.
