Looking for a seat lift?
Here's what actually works.
Most people searching for a "seat lift" end up with a giant lift chair they didn't want. SitnStand is different. It's a seat lift mechanism that goes on top of the chair you already have.

They brought it to dinner.
On a plane. To Grandma's.
"I take this everywhere. My husband uses it at restaurants and at church. Seats that would have been impossible before. Nobody even notices it."
"I got this for my 100-year-old father. After looking at the very large lift chairs, this seems the best solution for him to get up off the sofa. He likes it."
"It has provided an important aid for my husband to get himself up from the dining room chair and the sofa. Less stress for me, his caregiver!"

What people ask
before they buy.
What exactly is a seat lift for a chair?
A seat lift (also called a seat lift mechanism or lift seat) is a powered device that sits on top of your existing chair. When you press a button, it inflates and raises you to a standing position. SitnStand works on dining chairs, sofas, recliners, and most other flat-seat furniture, no new chair required.
Do I have to replace my chair?
No. SitnStand sits on top of your existing chair. Keep all your furniture. Just add the lift. Move it from room to room or take it wherever you go.
Will it work on restaurant chairs or seats when traveling?
Yes. The Compact model is specifically designed for this. It weighs 6.6 lbs, folds flat, and is TSA-approved for carry-on. Take it to restaurants, on flights, to family dinners, anywhere you sit.
How is this different from a passive lift cushion?
A passive lift cushion uses a foam wedge or spring to tilt you forward. It relies on your own strength. SitnStand uses a battery-powered motor to actively raise you from sitting to standing. No effort on your part beyond pressing a button.
Is it easy to bring on a plane?
Yes. The Compact is TSA-approved for carry-on luggage, weighs 6.6 lbs, and comes with a backpack carry case. Unpack it at your seat, use it, fold it flat, and carry it to your next destination.
What is the weight limit?
All three SitnStand models support up to 400 lbs (180 kg).
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. 60-day money-back guarantee. If it doesn't work for you for any reason, return it for a full refund. We cover return shipping. No questions asked.
Your chair. Our lift.
Your independence.
No new chair. No installation. Just a seat lift that works on the furniture you already have, and goes with you everywhere.
