Dining Chairs
Refresh the feel of your dining area with dining chairs from Heavenly Beds in Cheltenham, serving Gloucestershire with UK-wide delivery.
New seating can bring a different texture or colour to a table you already love, or complete a dining arrangement chosen piece by piece. Explore upholstered and wooden designs, from a coordinated set of chairs to a combination that gives your room a more individual look.
Compare seat height, back shape and overall width, checking how each chair fits beneath and around your table. Armrests, table rails and leg positions can all affect the usable space, while upholstery care matters for everyday meals. Our Cheltenham team can help you review single and paired options, confirm measurements and explore finishes that work with your furniture, so comfort and appearance are considered together.
BUYING GUIDE
Check the height against your table
The gap between the seat and the underside of the table should be about 30cm. Less and your legs are trapped. More and you are eating with the table at chest height.
Most dining tables sit around 75cm high and most chairs are made to suit that. It goes wrong with a table that is not standard height, so measure yours before ordering rather than after.
Also check for an apron or rail under the table edge. A chair with arms will not slide under a table with a deep apron, and that is the most common reason a chair that should fit does not.
Upholstered or wooden seat
Upholstered is more comfortable for long meals and quieter in the room. It stains, and with young children that matters.
Wooden offers a different surface feel and visual finish from upholstery. Compare the shape of the seat and follow the care instructions for the particular material and coating.
A wipe clean upholstery is the middle ground and worth asking about if you want both.
Plan seating for everyday use and visitors
Think about how many chairs you use regularly and whether you have space to keep additional seating for guests. Ask about current availability and matching options, particularly when adding to an existing set.
How do I check that dining chairs will fit my table?
Compare seat height with the underside of the table, allowing comfortable legroom beneath any apron or support rail. Check armrest height and chair width against the gap between table legs. Finally, allow enough room to pull the chair out; fitting beneath the tabletop is only one part of a comfortable dining arrangement.
Can I buy a single chair?
The sale quantity depends on the chosen model, so check whether the listed price covers one chair, a pair or a larger set. Ask us about the quantity you need before ordering. This is particularly useful when replacing one chair or adding extra seating to an existing dining arrangement.
Can I remove and wash the dining-chair covers?
Only remove covers where the manufacturer says they are designed to come off, and check the care label before washing. A removable cover may still require specialist cleaning rather than a machine wash. For fixed upholstery, use the recommended cleaning method and ask for guidance before applying a stain treatment.
Will they match a set I bought previously?
Send Heavenly Beds in Cheltenham the original range name, finish and order details so we can check current availability. Changes between production batches and wear on existing pieces can affect the match. Compare samples where possible, or consider a deliberate complementary finish when the original chair is no longer available.
