As the name suggests, fireside chairs are chairs that are traditionally made to be placed next to the fireplace so that the user can be warm and comfortable on cold evenings.
This type of fireside armchair can be purchased either individually or in pairs and can provide an interesting and cosy focus point for any room.
The humble rocking chair is perhaps the earliest example of the fireside chair and a number of models of this type are still available to choose from.
While fire side chairs were traditionally made from wood, these days they are comprised of a wide range of materials for extra comfort such as padded fabric and leather.
A number of other additions have also been made to this type of chair such as adjustable headrests and footrests that allow the chair to be adapted to perfectly fit the height of the user.
One or two motors are also fitted in many models so that the chair can rise or recline at the single touch of a button, while other useful additions that are often made to fireside chairs include cup holders that are placed in the armrests and reading lights.
While some models come with traditional legs, others feature a solid base that can swing out to provide extra support for the legs.
Another benefit is that they are useful if you are looking at chair exercises for the elderly.

Fireside chairs are ideal for anyone who is looking for a comfortable and stylish new seat for their home. There are so many different models and styles to choose from, virtually anyone is likely to find a type of fireside chair that appeals to them.
They are different to electric recliner chairs or riser recliner chairs as they do not have any motors on them to make them move position.
Fireside chairs for the elderly are usually specially adapted to make them easy for elderly people to get in and out of and they provide enhanced support for the back, neck and hips to help older people who suffer from aches and pains.
Elderly people who find it difficult to get in and out of bed tend to find that fireside chairs that boast a reclining feature allow them to nap during the daytime without having to move, while they can also serve as a convenient bed for a longer sleep.
Anyone who requires extra comfort and support while lounging is sure to find that fireside chairs are an excellent option.
The cost of this type of product tends to vary widely and will depend on a number of factors such as the size of the chair, the materials that it is made from and whether it includes any special features such as a motor that allows the chair to rise and recline easily.
For example, it stands to reason that leather fireside chairs are likely to cost a little more than those that are made solely from wood, while the addition of one or two motors is also likely to increase the price.
People who want to make sure that they get the best value for money should take the time to check out the full range of cheap fireside chairs and read the various customer reviews carefully before making a purchase.
There are also special deals and discounts for shoppers to take advantage of that will affect the price of their new fireside chair. It is important to note that the price of the fireside chair is not necessarily an indication of quality and some top of the range models are very reasonably priced these days.
Because fireside chairs come in all shapes, sizes and designs, the most important thing to consider when purchasing this type of product is the unique needs of the individual
Those who are taller and slightly heavier than usual are likely to find that they require a padded chair that has a high back and headrest, while shorter and slighter people are likely to find that a smaller chair is more comfortable.
People who have limited mobility will benefit from a fireside chair that has a motor so that it can rise and recline at the touch of a button to make getting into and out of the chair much easier.
Some chairs also have a gentle massage function to help ease aches and pains, while others recline far enough so that they can serve as a makeshift bed for elderly people who find it difficult to get in and out of their regular bed.
Small fireside chairs are ideal for people who have limited space in their home and need a small fireside chair that will fit easily into the room without making it feel cluttered, while people who have a much larger space are likely to love one of the top of the range fireside chairs that feature footrests that can be extended fully.
People who live alone should also make sure that the fireside chair they choose either comes fully assembled or is light enough and simple enough to assemble by themselves, while they should also make sure that the model is sturdy enough so that it will provide a comfortable place to sit for many years.
