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.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the product. Some mention it's very sturdy, stable, and provides great support for their grandma. They say it helps them continue an independent lifestyle.

Seems Wacky, But Works Amazingly Well
OK, my wife came back from the hospital too weak to get out of her favorite overstuffed chair. In have tendinitis myself, so helping her out was not easy for me either. Saw this Capex UpEasy and thought, it seemed hokey but might work. We're amazed how well this works. She just slowly starts to stand up and it gives just enough gentile boost to help her up without any fear it might launch her. We are also quite surprised how comfortable it is when sat upon. She thought it would be like sitting on an extra lump, but its almost unnoticeable.
