The UPEASY manual lifting cushion provides up to 80% lift assist for users who otherwise would need help getting up from a seated position. Equipped with an hydraulic lifting mechanism, no electricity is required for operation. Users choose the model appropriate for their weight. Before use, the lifting mechanism must also be set in the most appropriate weight slot. The patented cushion design ensures a flat lifting surface while rising.
A seat lift is a great option for providing assistance to those who have trouble moving from a seated to a standing position, due to worsening back and leg conditions. Seat lifts are different than power lift chairs in that they don't require the complete mechanism of a full chair and can also be used on almost all types of existing chairs.
One of the most important features to consider when selecting a seat lift is how easy it is to move from chair to chair. Most will require no permanent or even temporary attachment to the chair itself, but sit entirely on the seat. This also works on couches and other softer types of padded seats. Extremely padded seats such as an overstuffed couch or very deep type of chair may not always be suited for use with seat lifts, but these are typically not chairs that a person requiring minor assistance to stand would typically choose to sit in.
