Welcome news for the disabled or even just for those whose joints are stiffening up a bit.

The Mobility Furniture Company has today opened a new flagship store in Tunbridge Wells.

The shop in Monson Road features bespoke rise and recline chairs and adjustable beds, alongside stair-lifts, mobility scooters, and bathroom gardening products.

Company spokesman Bryony Bell said: "Our research shows that people with mobility issues want somewhere they can go to look at furniture and other items that can help them.

"There is no need for anyone to live in discomfort when there are many innovative and well-designed products that improve quality of life. Our shop and brilliant team will showcase these solutions."

The shop is directly opposite Crescent Road car park.

Shoppers calling in today or tomorrow between 11am and 4.30pm will be offered free tea and cakes and given the chance to enter a prize draw to win a £500 voucher to spend on the company’s range.
