At Duncan’s of Banchory, we understand that choosing the right chair is about more than just comfort. It’s about finding something that supports your lifestyle, your space, and your well-being. That’s why we’re proud to stock Sherborne Upholstery, a long-established British brand known for its exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and attention to detail.
If you’re considering investing in a Sherborne chair, here’s what to look out for to help you choose the perfect fit for your home and needs.
1. Comfort That’s Tailored to You
One of the biggest advantages of Sherborne chairs is their choice of sizes. Many models come in petite, standard, and royale options to suit all shapes and statures. Whether you're looking for a rise and recline chair for ease of movement or a traditional fireside chair with firm lumbar support, Sherborne offers solutions designed around your comfort.
At Duncan’s, we’ll help you sit, test, and choose a style that gives the right support for your posture and day-to-day needs.
2. Aquaclean Fabrics: Stress-Free and Stylish
Love the look of fabric but worry about spills or stains? Sherborne’s Aquaclean fabric technology is a smart solution. With just water, you can easily wipe away everyday stains like tea, red wine, or even ink, making it ideal for busy homes, family visits, or simply peace of mind.
It’s also pet-friendly, offering extra protection against claws and mess without compromising on softness or appearance.
3. Craftsmanship That Lasts a Lifetime
Sherborne chairs are made with care in the UK using solid, seasoned beech timber for all key load-bearing areas. With every frame glued, screwed, and double-reinforced, you’re investing in a piece of furniture built to last not just for years, but for decades.
Sherborne has over 90 years of experience, and their commitment to quality shows in every stitch and spring.
4. A Greener Way to Furnish Your Home
If you’re looking to make more eco-conscious choices, Sherborne is a brand to feel good about. Their factory recycling programme repurposes all wood, foam, and card offcuts, helping reduce waste at every stage of production.
And because each chair is made right here in the UK, you’re also supporting local craftsmanship with a smaller carbon footprint.
5. Design Features That Make Life Easier
Sherborne’s chairs aren’t just comfortable, they’re cleverly designed. From dual-motor rise and recline actions to optional lumbar cushions and built-in USB charging, many models come with thoughtful extras to make everyday living simpler.
Whether you're looking for a classic wing-back chair for reading or a motorised recliner to help with mobility, you’ll find smart solutions that blend beautifully into your home.
Final Thoughts
Buying a chair, especially one as well-made as a Sherborne, is an investment in your comfort, your home, and your lifestyle. At Duncan’s of Banchory, we’re here to guide you through every step, from testing different styles in-store to helping you choose the right fabric and fit.
