A month or more ago there was a discussion about an Up Easy cushion on the forum. Quite an expensive item, it contains a gas lift mechanism that helps propel you out of a low chair and into a standing position. I’ve been having increasing difficulty recently getting out of normal height chairs, so I found one online and bought it. It’s brilliant and it really has made a difference. I thought I should share the tip in case anyone is interested.
I didn’t buy the Up Easy for £155 from a leading retailer of equipment for the disabled. I found essentially the same thing with the name Aidapt Lift Assist Cushion at Amazon for £59.99. In fact I was lucky and bought one in a damaged box for £43.
We call it my ‘ejector seat’ and have taken it to to a few pubs and restaurants. You get a few funny looks, but what’s new? Worth a look, I think if you’re having difficulty standing up from sitting.
