"After struggling with a bad back for years, I decided to visit the showroom to try out the Canterbury riser recliner in person. I’m so glad I did; the tiered backrest offers incredible lumbar support that you just can’t appreciate from a photo. The staff were brilliant, helping me find the 'Standard' size which fits me perfectly. It’s been a total game-changer for my evening relaxation."

"We’d heard great things about Celebrity furniture, so we popped into our local Hi-Sell to see if the Canterbury lived up to the hype. The quality of the British craftsmanship was evident the moment we sat down. We opted for a 3-seater sofa in one of the Aquaclean fabrics, and it looks stunning in our lounge. It’s firm enough to be supportive but has that lovely cushioned feel for a Sunday afternoon nap."

"I wanted a chair that was easy to get out of but didn't look like a typical 'medical' chair. I spent some time in-store testing the different actions and settled on the Canterbury Petite. The scroll arms give it such a classic, elegant look. Dealing with the team face-to-face made the whole process so much easier, and the delivery was spot on. My cat has even tried her best to snag it, but the fabric is as tough as they promised!"

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.
