Felix School Chair by Smirthwaite – Active Classroom Seating with Armrests

The Felix School Chair by Smirthwaite is a supportive, everyday classroom armchair for active children and young people who need just a little help sitting well. Its gently contoured seat and backrest encourage a healthy, upright posture, while lateral armrests give steady support during lessons and a helping hand for sitting down and standing up. For children who are close to using standard classroom furniture but benefit from a bit more stability, the Felix is a friendly, natural fit.

At Independent Living Superstore, we see the Felix as the ideal entry point into supportive seating. It brings the reassurance of armrests, an anti-tip wide-base frame, and wipe-clean cushioning into a simple stackable chair that looks right at home in any classroom, therapy room, or family space – without feeling clinical.

All-in-one wipe-clean cushion – a single removable seat-and-back cushion with a wipeable cover for easy hygiene

Support / Performance

The Felix is built to give steady, dependable support for children who need a little extra help staying comfortably seated. The contoured seat and back guide the body into a healthier upright position, and the lateral armrests provide something reassuring to rest on – and to push up from when it's time to stand. The wide, splayed leg base is designed to keep the chair stable and resist tipping, so children can lean and reach with confidence. For children who need a bit more security, an optional pelvic strap adds gentle positioning support.

Comfort / Usability

Both the seat and backrest are fully cushioned for comfortable sitting through lessons, mealtimes, and play. The all-in-one cushion lifts out and the cover wipes clean in seconds, which makes day-to-day care simple in busy classroom and home settings. Because cushions are interchangeable between same-sized Felix chairs, replacements and swaps are quick and fuss-free.

Design & Convenience

The Felix pairs a warm wooden frame with bright, hard-wearing cushion covers, so it feels welcoming rather than institutional. It comes in four cheerful colors from Smirthwaite's Just Colour range – Sea Green, Candy (Pink), Citrus Green, and Black – to suit any room. And because same-sized chairs stack up to five high, the Felix tidies away easily at the end of the day.

The Felix comes in five sizes, so you can match the chair to the child. Not sure which size is right? Call us and we'll be glad to help you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a postural school chair?

A postural school chair is a supportive classroom seat that helps a child sit in a healthier, more stable position than a standard chair. The Felix does this with a contoured seat and back, lateral armrests, and a wide anti-tip base, making it a good fit for children who need just a little extra support.

Is the Felix School Chair suitable for children with special needs?

Yes. The Felix is designed for children who need minimal postural support, including many children with special needs who can sit fairly independently. It offers armrests, a contoured seat and back, and an optional lap strap. For significant positioning needs, a therapist can advise whether a more adjustable chair is a better fit.

What age or size child is the Felix chair for?

The Felix suits children from around preschool age through the teenage years, since it comes in five sizes with seat heights from 10.2 to 18.4 inches. Rather than choosing by age, match the child's seated measurements to the seat height. Call us and we will gladly help you pick the right size.

ow is the Felix different from a standard classroom chair?

The Felix adds support a standard chair does not. It has lateral armrests for stability and easier sit-to-stand, a gently contoured seat and back that encourages healthy posture, and wide anti-tip legs for a stable base. It is a supportive step up while still looking like everyday classroom furniture.

Can the Felix chair be used at home as well as at school?

Yes. While the Felix is designed as a classroom chair, it works just as well at home for meals, homework, and play. It is intended for indoor use on a flat, level surface. The wipe-clean cushion and stackable frame make it practical in busy family spaces as well as schools.

How do I add more support if my child needs it?

The Felix offers an optional lap strap, sold separately, that adds gentle pelvic support and helps a child stay comfortably positioned. The chair's wide anti-tip base already adds stability. If you are unsure whether a lap strap is needed, give us a call and we will help you decide what is right.
