"I wasn’t sure about the side bolsters until I visited the store to try the Farndon for myself. The moment I sat back, I felt completely supported; it’s like the chair gives you a gentle hug. It keeps my posture much straighter than my old sofa, and seeing the different wood finishes for the grab handles in person really helped me match it to my coffee table."

"We popped into the showroom specifically to compare the Farndon sizes. I’m quite petite, so being able to sit in the 'Small' version made all the difference. It’s a firmer feel than the Hollingwell, which I prefer as it makes getting in and out so much easier. The lateral cushions really support my sides, which helps with my hip pain. Highly recommend a store visit to get the sizing right!"

"After spending some time in-store testing the various Celebrity models, the Farndon won me over with its sleek, compact look and supportive back. It doesn't feel bulky in the room, yet the seat is incredibly deep and comfortable. The staff showed me how the 'Bolt-on' arms work for easy delivery, which was a relief. It feels like a solid, well-made piece of British furniture that’s built to last."

Farndon Range - Frequently Asked Questions
What does Farndon feel like?
The Farndon range offers a uniquely "cocooned" sitting experience, distinguished by its lateral back cushions that gently hug your torso for added stability. Unlike more open designs, the Farndon provides a firm and secure sensation, making it an excellent choice if you prefer to feel "tucked in" rather than simply sitting on top of the seat. The dual-tiered backrest is specifically engineered to provide targeted support to the mid-back and neck, ensuring you remain comfortably aligned whether you are sitting upright or fully reclined.

Are Celebrity cushions supppotive for daily use?
Absolutely. Celebrity cushions are specifically designed for long-term daily use, striking a balance between plush comfort and lasting durability. Most models feature high-grade foam—and often NHS-award-winning Mammoth Medical Grade™ Foam, which uses pressure-relieving technology to distribute weight evenly. This ensures the seating remains supportive and retains its shape even with frequent use, providing excellent posture support for those who spend extended periods relaxing or rising from their chair.
Are Celebrity fabrics suitable for pets/kids?
Celebrity offers a wide range of Life-Proof fabrics specifically designed to withstand the rigours of a busy family home. Their Aquaclean Extreme collection is particularly ideal for pets and children, as it features a physical protector that prevents claws from snagging and allows most stains to be removed using just water. Additionally, these fabrics incorporate Safe Front® technology, which provides a built-in shield against bacteria and mites, ensuring your furniture remains hygienic and hard-wearing despite spills, muddy paws, or heavy daily use.
