The UpEasy Lifting Seat is the proven solution for individuals with lower body weakness that leaves them unable to get into or out of a chair or sofa on their own. The UpEasy Lifting Seat allows the user to remain independent while lifting up to 80% of their weight. The UpEasy is self-powered and does not require any electrical connections or special installation. This is due to the UpEasy's pneumatic pistons that contract in a controlled, steady manner as the user sits down and then release slowly and gently to provide assistance when standing.
