Customer Reviews of UPLIFT Seat Assist with Memory Foam, 80-230 lb. Capacity
Customer Review: Chair Uplift-Assist Review
Summary: 4 Stars
The Uplift-Assist seems to have an air/spring pneumatic tube that lets you sit with all your weight on it and then "slowly and safely" lets you down into the chair. When you lean forward to get up out of the chair, the spring takes over and assists you in getting up out of the chair by pushing you somewhat to aid you getting up.
I bought my Uplift-Assist (85-220 lb) a few weeks ago and found the device excellent for my use. I find my Uplift-Assist to be an excellent assist when sitting down in a chair and getting up from the chair. It took me a few days of learning to get its maximum benefit. I have weak upper leg muscles and normally have to use my hands and arms to "push" myself up and out of a chair. That was doable for me until I recently had open chest heart surgery. After the operation I cannot use my arms any longer to "push" myself out of a chair until my chest fully heals, which will take weeks. With the Uplift-Assist, I have no problem getting up out of my chair since I don't have to put stress on my arms to get up.
I also found some helpful points in using the Uplift-Assist: 1. Make sure you have the Uplift-Assist sitting on a hard seat chair so it won't sink down in the chair causing you to lose your chair height advantage; 2. Use one or both of your hands for stability when getting up from the chair using the Uplift-Assist. My kitchen chair does not have arms so when I want to get up out of the chair, I place one hand on the table and the other hand on a hand rail next to my chair for stability when getting up out of the chair. If your chair has arm rests, use your hands on the chair arms to aid stability when getting out of the chair; 3. Finally, you will have to experiment to get the proper Uplift-Assist tension for your weight. I weigh 176 pounds and therefore first used the 180 lb Uplift-Assist setting. I found this setting to be too high for me, since it took a long time for the Uplift-Assist to lower me down into the chair. I then set the Uplift-Assist setting to less than my weight and it works fine. With my weight of 176 pounds, the best setting for me is the 150 pound setting, slightly less than my weight.
Again, I have found the Uplift-Assist to be an excellent device for my special needs.
