What is a perching stool used for? A perching stool supports tasks that are usually done standing, such as cooking, washing up or ironing, by letting you lean or perch and take some of the weight off your legs while staying at a similar height to standing.
How is a perching stool different from a regular stool? A perching stool has a sloped or tilted seat designed to encourage a semi-standing posture, rather than the fully seated position of a regular stool. Many models also offer adjustable height and some include a backrest for extra support.
Are perching stools height adjustable? Most perching stools offer adjustable height, allowing you to match the stool to your worktop, sink or other task area. It's worth checking the available height range against your work surface before ordering.
Can a perching stool be used in the bathroom? Yes, many perching stools can be used in the bathroom, but it's worth choosing one with a water-resistant or easy-to-wipe seat, along with non-slip feet, to help keep it stable and hygienic in a wet area.
Am I eligible for VAT relief on a perching stool? If you have a disability or a long-term illness, you may qualify for VAT relief on an eligible perching stool. This usually involves completing a simple eligibility declaration at checkout, with the VAT removed at the point of sale.
