Lift Cushions
Lift cushions lend a boost to people who need help getting up and sitting down. Lift cushions turn any seated surface into a lift chair, with an automatic drop-seat base that gently lowers and raises the user from seated positions .
Lift cushions will typically elevate 80 to 100% of the user's weight, but will only aid when necessary, allowing the user to make the most use of their residual muscle strength.
Most lift cushions fold flat for easy transportation and can be used atop any seated surface - your sofa, dining room chair, wheelchair, restaurant chairs, even theater seats.
When using a lift cushion, simply sit down on the lift cushion and allow it to ease you gently into your chair. To get up, begin to stand and the lift mechanism will automatically raise you gently from your chair into a standing position. Lift cushions cost between $150 and $250 online.
Lift cushions are good for:
- Wheelchair users that can propel with their feet
- Caregivers who require aid when transferring patients to and from their wheelchair
- Wheelchair users with insufficient upper or lower body strength
- People with stressed or strained joints
- Wheelchair users with leg braces or stiff knees
