Ergonomic, durable, and built for learning. Cobolt Furniture is a trusted partner for educational institutions across the UK. Our comprehensive range of school chairs and classroom seating solutions is designed to support students from their first day at primary school right through to university lecture halls. We prioritise posture, concentration, and extreme durability in every design.
Our collection features industry-leading models, including the iconic Postura+ one-piece moulded chair, alongside versatile stacking stools for science labs and art rooms. With reinforced frames, skid base options to protect flooring, and extensive warranties, our furniture is engineered to withstand the rigours of daily student life.
Postura+ Range
The UK's #1 choice. The Postura+ chair is the gold standard for classroom seating. Ergonomically designed, stain-resistant, and virtually indestructible, it comes with a market-leading 20-year warranty.
Science & Art Stools
Practical learning. Our classroom stools are designed for high-bench environments. Choose from standard 4-leg stacking options or skid base stools that prevent tipping and protect laboratory flooring.
Space Saving
Stack & store. Space is premium in modern schools. The majority of our chairs and stools are fully stackable (up to 10-12 high), allowing halls to be cleared quickly for assemblies or cleaning.
One-Piece Moulded
Hygiene first. Our one-piece moulded chairs have no crevices for dirt to hide in. Easy to wipe down and sanitize, they are the ideal solution for maintaining hygiene in busy school environments.
Primary to University
Every size catered for. We stock chairs in all BS EN 1729 heights. From Size 1 (Nursery) to Size 6 (Adult/University), ensuring students of all ages sit with correct posture.
Reinforced Frames
Built to last. For older students and colleges, our reinforced chairs feature heavy-gauge steel legs and tamper-proof fixings, minimizing maintenance costs and replacement cycles.

School Seating FAQs
What is a Postura+ Chair?
The Postura+ is the UK's most popular classroom chair. It is a one-piece, injection-moulded polypropylene chair that is ergonomic, stain-resistant, anti-static, and virtually unbreakable. It is lightweight, stacks easily, and comes with a 20-year warranty.
How do I know what size chair to buy?
School chairs follow European Standard BS EN 1729.
• Size 1-2: Nursery & Reception (3-6 yrs)
• Size 3-4: Primary School (7-11 yrs)
• Size 5-6: Secondary School & Adult (11+ yrs).
Check our sizing guide for exact height measurements.
What is a skid base stool?
Unlike 4-leg stools, a skid base stool has a continuous metal loop at the bottom. This design is superior for protecting vinyl or wooden floors from scratches and prevents students from tipping backward, making them ideal for science labs and art rooms.
Do you accept school Purchase Orders?
Yes. We accept official Purchase Orders from all UK state schools, academies, universities, and NHS trusts. You automatically qualify for 30-day payment terms.
Are these chairs stackable?
Yes, the vast majority of our school chairs and stools are designed to stack safely. Postura+ chairs, for example, can be stacked up to 12 high, allowing for flexible use of multi-purpose halls and easy floor cleaning.
