got this product for a 90 year old lady with bad knees, etc. She says it really helps her get up easier with much less strain on her joints. its' very portable so she carries it with her. We like it.
It changed my husband's life 2007-03-19
My husband broke his arm and couldn't get out of his chair without help. I bought this product for him and it honestly changed his life. Instead of having to ask me to help him stand up, he could get up and sit down by himself. It gave him a measure of freedom that he desperately needed when he really wasn't feeling well.
Now I can't get it away from him.
Works, but not very comfortable

I bought this product for my mom. It did help her tremendously with sitting and standing.
However, it was too uncomfortable for her to sit on so I ended up returning it.
Also, it does not work well on sofas. It needs a very solid firm surface in order to work properly. If used on a soft sofa, it wobbles and tilts and could be a bit dangerous for her.
making life much easier 2008-03-19
One of my patients is not able to get out of a chair without assistance. His wife now has problems with her shoulder and is not able to help him out of chairs. After telling me their situation, I ordered this product for them. They LOVE it. Jack is now able to get up and down without assistance and without any struggles. The only thing that he says could be considered a problem is that if he bends over to tie his shoes the lift assumes that he is trying to get up and "boosts" him out of the chair. He figures out that the way around that is to lift out of his chair, sit in his wheelchair and then bend over to tie his shoes. Jack's only complaint is that he didn't discover this product years ago!!
Cushion / seller good but... will never buy from Amazon again because they sell books and magazines on ANIMAL FIGHTING! 2008-03-11
I bought this before I heard Amazon has been asked many times
to stop selling Animal Fighting information, books and magazines
to people that abuse animals. I guess Michael Vick is their best
customer. I have heard that Amazon has a law suit in the courts
but still refuse to stop selling this information. Animal fighting
is against the law so why are they selling this???? What's next child
porn?
Shame on Amazon - Sorry I bought this through them it won't happen again.
If you have a pet
and love animals don't buy from them and spread the word.
Shame on Amazon!!!!!!!!!!

It does what is supposed to do. My 92 year old mom is able to get up unassisted which she was not able to do previously. A plus is that it is portable.
Handy, not perfect.

I purchased this for my mom, who is 80 and barely walks due to parkinsons and an old broken back. It is fine for boosting her out of the chair, and sitting more gently. It is not terribly comfortable to sit on, and I am nervous about it throwing her off balance. You have to sit on it very upright, which can be a problem.
