What Happened to Easy X Chair After Dragons’ Den?
Easy X Chair appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 2. The business was a sofa chair incorporated with exercise tools. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Peter Ashley walked into the Den in 2006 with a sofa chair incorporated with exercise tools. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 15% of the business.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Peter Ashley left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Easy X Chair is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2006, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Easy X Chair Still in Business?
Yes. Easy X Chair appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
