The Austen Armchair offers a properly supportive, stately sit that photos simply cannot capture. With its reassuring "hug" and perfect balance of sumptuous cushioning and lumbar support, the true magic lies in the tactile weight of the fabric. Visit our showroom to take a "proper" seat and experience this definitive British classic firsthand.

Are G Plan cushions supportive for daily use?
G Plan cushions are widely regarded as highly supportive, featuring premium materials designed to maintain their shape and provide specific ergonomic benefits. While support levels vary by collection, the brand typically uses high-density foam for seat cushions to ensure long-term durability and "recovery" (the ability to bounce back after use).
Are G Plan fabrics suitable for pets/kids?
G Plan Upholstery is a robust choice for families, featuring hardwood frames and high-density foam designed to survive years of active use. Their "Snug" and "Lounge" collections are particularly pet-friendly, utilising tight-weave fabrics that resist snagging and trapped hair. For added durability, many models offer reversible cushions to hide or rotate wear, all backed by a 25-year frame and spring guarantee.
