Seniors and their guests are looking for the same properties in furniture they always have – durability, cleanability and high style. Senior-friendly furniture is resistant to the scuffmarks, scratches and daily bumps of walkers and wheelchairs. Preferred, comfortable seating for seniors should be easy to clean, maintain, and look like new, year after year. Today’s designs have added stylish chairs, recliners, stools, and benches to give seniors a wide variety of seating options. The bench in senior living is perhaps the most versatile seating option of all.
1. The transitional Antillo Bench
Many benches come with or without backs. The Antillo Bench by Kwalu offers a high back that wings to achieve a bit of privacy. This stately bench comes in four widths and is best identified by the crisscrossed underframe. The collection includes a dining option. The Antillo without a back has upholstered arms and may also have bolster pillows, attached but easily removed for cleaning.
2. The versatility of the Falmenta Bench
This is a luxurious bench that would look good in someone’s home, which is why it is a great choice for senior living. Another reason is the Falmenta by Kwalu gives choices that work for whatever space it is assigned, providing fit for the space and the people using it. This bench can be styled with buttons or stitching detail on the back and can be outfitted with attached removable bolster pillows. Two back heights and several arm heights are available.
3. The convenience of the Convesso Bench
A bench in senior living can meet many needs. With the option to choose from two arm heights, Kwalu’s Convesso is a very versatile seating option. It provides additional seating in waiting and common areas as well as in resident rooms. It is also a convenient resting place in hallways or near elevators. Adding piping and nail head trim elevates the luxury level of this bench.
4. The mid-century modern Tindari Bench
Here is a very nice place to sit and take in the view. It’s the Tindari Bench by Kwalu and it also makes for a rest stop in a senior living hallway. This bench has a back and is available backless, arms can be upholstered, and have arm caps or not. The bolstered pillows at the arms are attached but can be removed for cleaning. The bench is part of a Tindari lounge collection that includes a chair, love seat and a sofa.
