Designed with strength in mind, featuring a supportive fifth middle leg for added durability and everyday comfort. Beautiful pleated detailing across the seat, arms and back enhances its sleek, compact silhouette with a generous feel.

Our Stylist Says
I really like this chaise longue for its versatile and contemporary design, making it a great anchor piece for both modern and mid-century inspired interiors. The boucle fabric adds texture and coziness, ideal for creating a relaxed, inviting space. It works particularly well in open-plan living areas, lounge corners, or even bedrooms where you want a statement piece that is both stylish and practical. Styling tip: pair it with a couple of textured cushions and a soft throw to soften the look, or position it near a statement coffee table or with some greenery to bring it to life. Its sleek black legs give it a subtle sophistication that complements various colour schemes, from muted neutrals to richer tones.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
