Lifting Seat Assists (Lifting Cushions)

Lifting Seat Assists Help Those Mobility Challenged

Mom loved her easy chair. Here she is sharing it with Rita.

My Mom had a hard time getting up from her easy chair toward her later years. I wanted to buy her one of those fancy power lift electric chairs, but she repeatedly said ‘No.’ I knew that she was firmly rooted in her beloved easy chair so, the next best thing I could figure out was to buy her one of these spring powered lifting seats, aka seat assists, aka, lifting cushions.

There are basically two types of lifting seats on the market – those that use no electricity and those that do use electricity. I chose the simpler model which uses no electricity as we didn’t have an outlet by her chair (all I needed was for Mom to trip over a cord….)

The lifting seat I chose for Mom was spring powered and assisted in lifting when she started to get up. This spring powered seat assist worked perfectly to give Mom just the little boost she needed to get up and on her feet on her own. In looking back though, I probably would have gotten the electric seat assist, especially since, as she aged, she needed a bit more of a ‘boost.’
