Product Description
Product Description
The Carex Upeasy Seat Assist (Standard) is an economical portable lifting seat for those who need help to stand. Using a hydro-pneumatic gas spring, it is fully self-powered and does not require electricity. Activates automatically as the user stands, lifting up to 70% of their weight up to 200 lbs. Patented LeveLift Technology ensures a safe, gentle lift without pushing you forward. Truly portable, it weighs just 9 pounds, has a built-in carry handle and works on most armchairs or sofas. The standard Upeasy Seat Assist features a washable 100-percent polyester cover and polyurethane foam cushion for easy care. PLEASE NOTE: If, after setting your Upeasy to the proper weight setting, the cushion does not go down when you sit on it, the lifting mechanism may be stiff from prolonged inactivity. In this case, simply set the weight setting at the lowest level, and sit on the cushion a few times until you feel it moving freely again. Then reset for your weight.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
She finally came to the realization that she was going to have to have surgery to get better and out of pain. She also realized that she was not going to be able to strain like she was to get out of the chair when she had surgery. She saw an ad for this upeasy lift chair and asked me to order it. I read the reviews and cautioned her that she would have to be careful with it and it could throw her out if she was not careful leaning forward or leaning over the side to reach for something. And yes I know it says not to use it with recliners. So we threw caution to the wind and ordered it off amazon.
The ones on amazon were less expensive than the ad she showed me. The device came very quickly. It was very easy to setup and the video was very easy to follow. We practiced with the seat in a hard chair first and got the setting right for her weight. On average she weighs 155lbs. We have had it about a month and I am happy to see her not flopping down in the chair and not having to rock to get out of the chair. It lets her down easy and pops her right up.
She has had her neck surgery and I think it has been a god send to have her using this uplifting seat at this time. The device just lifts her up as she steads herself on the arms of the recliner. The surgery did not fix the right shoulder issues and she is looking to have more surgery where this device is probably going to more invaluable as she recovers from a future rotator cuff surgery.
After neck surgery, she was having trouble getting out of the hard kitchen chair she uses to eat her meals. She carried the seat into the kitchen several times and said I guess we better order another one so I can get out of this chair. We tried putting a few seat cushions in that chair to see if that helped and it did, so at this time we are not ordering another one. We might have to reconsider if she ends up having to have surgery on her right shoulder and she is not able to use her arm to push herself up out of the kitchen chair.
When I was researching this device I wondered how comfortable this would be because it did not look as comfortable as a recliner seat. This was a big concern as she spends most of her day and evening in this chair until she goes to bed. She reports that it is comfortable.
I have seen her lean to the side to reach for something and has not had a problem and she has used caution regarding activities that would require her to lean forward. She takes the lift seat out of the recliner to do activities like putting on shoes and socks. I am not seeing why it is not recommended for a recliner.
I give it a thumbs up for setup and easy of use in our application. Hoping it will remain operational and in good condition over time.
A few thoughts:
The weight adjustment is not intuitive but somewhat difficult. If you need assistance standing up there is a decent chance you will have a difficult time adjusting the weight setting on this and will need assistance. Because it is a gas shock I expect it would need adjustment over time and temperature. I had to go down a setting or two from the labels to get the shocks to retract.
As you are sitting down on it you have to bounce a bit to get it to start and then it lowers slowly. Until about the last 2 inches where it just drops. You are still on a cushion but it is a bit jarring and unexpected the first time at least.
As you are standing up it was hard for me to tell how much assistance it offered. I am able to stand on my own and purchased this for a family member. They were not willing to try it after seeing me use it.
My family was also concerned about the weight of moving this around. The box says 9 lbs and that seems about right.
This is a really great idea for a product that could be very helpful in the right situation. I feel like it needs a little more smoothness to be effective in its intended application.
