Freya

Practical comfort. Thoughtful support. Built for everyday life.

The Freya riser recliner is designed for people who want a reliable, well-rounded chair that covers every base. Two-tier back cushions give targeted support across four zones - head, neck, shoulders and lower back - while wooden arm knuckles in a choice of three wood finishes provide a solid grip point when sitting down or rising. Single or triple motor options, including Tilt-in-Space functionality, let you choose exactly how much motorised control you need. Practical, adaptable and built to accommodate a wide range of users, the Freya is a chair that simply gets on with the job.

  • Two-tier back cushions support the head, neck, shoulders and lower back as four distinct zones
  • Wooden arm knuckles in 3 wood colour options offer a firm grip and a quality furniture finish
  • Dual Motor Tilt-in-Space functionality assists a safe, controlled sit-to-stand transition
  • Single or triple motor options to match your level of required positional control
  • Standard weight capacity of 25 stone, with up to 70 stone available on request
  • 4 standard sizes plus Made to Measure - so the chair fits the person, every time

The Freya brings together multi-zone back support, practical wooden arm knuckles and flexible motor options in a single chair — a dependable all-rounder that adapts to the needs of the person sitting in it.

Your chair, bespoke to you

Working in close collaboration with Occupational Therapists, Channel Healthcare ensures that seating isn’t just off-the-shelf. Every seating consultation with a Channel Healthcare seating consultant combines clinical insight with emotional understanding. Every chair in the range is built (or adjusted) with your body, your health, and your lifestyle in mind.

Finding the right fit

Seating specialist helping client choose a chair

A Clinically Informed Approach

Establishing the best seating solution for your needs starts with understanding your lived experience: how long you sit, how you shift, how you use the chair.
Seating specialist showing fabric options to client

Listen and Assess

It’s not just asking “what do you need?”, it’s about understanding the user’s day-to-day: how long they sit, what positions they favour, what causes discomfort, what health issues matter.

Pressure Mapping & Posture

Using specialist tools, we can see where pressure builds up and which seating adjustments will relieve it.

Tailored Recommendations

Based on that assessment, we can then suggest the  seating solutions that would be the best fit. That could be riser recliners, tilt-in-space or bespoke chairs - always with an eye to both comfort and clinical benefit.

Fine Tuning

Once your chair is delivered, the team will re-check your posture, make small adjustments, and help you to understand how to use its features best (tilt, recline, pressure cushions) to stay well supported.

Product FAQ's

How long will it take to receive my Freya once I’ve ordered and do you install the chair when you deliver it?

Standard Freya models are typically ready for delivery within 7 days. Made-to-Measure builds or less common configurations generally take around 6 weeks. Your confirmed lead time will be provided at the point of order. Every Freya is delivered as part of our white-glove service. Our team will place the chair in the room of your choice, set it up fully and walk you through the handset controls before leaving. We deliver and install across the whole of the UK.

How do I find out which Freya is right for me?

A home visit from one of our seating consultants is the most thorough way to find the right size, motor option and configuration. They’ll take your measurements, assess your posture and mobility, and demonstrate the difference between the single and triple motor options so you can make an informed decision. If you’d prefer to explore options first, our Chair Selector Tool lets you filter by height, weight, health conditions and symptoms to generate recommendations. You can also call the team directly for guidance before committing to a visit.

Do you sell sofas that match the Freya?

Yes - matching 2-seater and 3-seater sofas are available in the same fabric and finish as your Freya. With over 200 fabric options to choose from, coordinating your suite is straightforward. Both sofas are available in manual or motorised recline.

Is the Freya suitable for users with specific health conditions?

The Freya is used by people managing a range of conditions where reliable postural support, ease of movement and all-day comfort are important - including Arthritis, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Kyphosis, Lordosis, Heart Disease and those recovering from stroke. The two-tier back cushion system provides consistent upper and lower back support across long periods of sitting, while the wooden arm knuckles assist users with reduced grip or arm strength when rising. For tailored guidance on whether the Freya suits a specific condition, our seating specialists can advise directly, or you can use the Chair Selector Tool online.

What are the wooden arm knuckles on the Freya?

The Freya’s wooden arm knuckles are hardwood inserts positioned at the front of each armrest, available in a choice of three wood colour finishes. They provide a firm, non-slip surface to push against when getting in and out of the chair - useful for anyone with limited hand strength, joint pain or reduced upper body power. They also give the Freya a more considered, furniture-quality appearance that distinguishes it from more purely functional seating. The choice of three wood colours means the knuckles can be matched to existing furniture in the room.

What is the Freya’s Tilt-in-Space functionality and what does it do?

Tilt-in-Space is included as part of the Freya’s triple motor option. Rather than reclining the backrest alone, it tilts the entire seat unit - seat base, backrest and footrest together - as a single controlled movement. This brings the user into a more forward and upright orientation that significantly reduces the effort needed to stand, and lowers the risk of unsteadiness during the transition. It can also be used throughout the day to periodically shift weight and reduce pressure on any one area.

What is the difference between the Freya’s single motor and triple motor options?

The Freya’s single motor option moves the backrest and footrest together as one action, controlled by a single button press. It’s a straightforward, easy-to-use option that suits users who want simple recline without managing multiple controls. The triple motor option separates the backrest and footrest so they can be adjusted independently, and adds Tilt-in-Space functionality to assist with the sit-to-stand transition. With the triple motor, you can raise just the footrest to reduce swelling, recline the back without lifting the legs, or use the Tilt-in-Space to help you stand without putting strain on your arms. The triple motor is the better choice for users who need more precise positional control throughout the day.

How do the Freya’s two-tier back cushions work?

The Freya uses a two-tier back cushion system in which the upper and lower sections of the backrest are independently constructed to support different areas of the body. The upper tier covers the head, neck and shoulder region, while the lower tier supports the lumbar area and lower back. This zoned approach means each part of the back receives support that is sized and positioned for it, rather than relying on a single flat surface to cover the whole back. For users who spend extended periods seated, or those who experience upper and lower back discomfort at the same time, the two-tier system provides a more attentive and comfortable sitting experience.

What is the maximum weight capacity of the Freya?

The Freya’s standard build supports users up to 25 stone. For users who require a higher weight-rated chair, the Freya can be built to accommodate up to 70 stone. Please get in touch with our team to discuss your specific requirements.

What sizes is the Freya available in?

The Freya comes in four standard sizes - Super Petit, Compact, Medium and Large - as well as a Made-to-Measure upgrade for a chair built to your exact measurements. Super Petit suits shorter users, with a lower seat height that allows feet to rest flat on the floor without the footrest extended, which supports good posture and leg circulation. Compact has a narrower overall footprint, making it a practical choice where space is at a premium. Medium is suited to the majority of average-height users, with seat proportions designed to keep the hips, spine and knees in a comfortable alignment. Large offers greater width and depth for taller or broader frames. If a standard size doesn’t quite fit your needs, Made-to-Measure removes the guesswork entirely.
