The rechargeable lithium-ion battery lasts up to 70 inflation cycles or up to 7 days per charge, depending on usage, with the battery connected to the unit. Charge it when the orange Charge Battery light on the remote comes on. Before first use, charge the battery for at least 12 hours. After that, charge until the light on the charger changes from red to green, up to 5 hours from empty, with the included wall charger (100-240V compatible). The battery slides easily into place and can be removed even with arthritic hands. LED indicators show battery status and operation mode.

Classic for Home ($649): Features a long cloth back flap with moldable sides. Best for home furniture like dining chairs, sofas, and recliners.

Compact for Travel ($649): Same functionality but ultra-lightweight design with included backpack. TSA-compliant for airline travel, perfect for restaurants, theaters, and social outings.

Wheelchair Model ($649): Includes 2-inch viscoelastic memory foam cushion for extended sitting comfort. Specifically engineered for wheelchair compatibility with adjustable strapping system.

All models feature a simple remote control with up/down arrows. The Classic and Compact have 4 inflation levels, while the Wheelchair model has 3 levels. The system includes automatic pressure control, a reset for the error state (when the red and green lights flash, press both buttons for 10 seconds), and quiet operation under 70 dB.

SitnStand significantly reduces manual handling and lifting requirements for caregivers. Instead of providing physical assistance or using transfer belts, caregivers can simply help position the device and let the user stand independently. This reduces back injury risk for caregivers while maintaining user dignity and autonomy.

Yes, when used properly. The device provides true vertical lift that keeps feet on the ground for better stability. However, users should have both feet flat on the floor before activation, and someone should be present during initial learning. The lift time of about 25 seconds allows users to adjust their position safely.

In the case of cognitive impairment, use the Lift Assist Classic only with a caregiver, as stated in the user manual. With a caregiver present, the device can still reduce physical lifting requirements.

Absolutely. The 400-pound weight capacity and adjustable height settings accommodate users of different sizes. The device works on various chair types throughout the home, making it practical for multiple family members with different mobility needs.

Ideal candidates can walk short distances but struggle with the sitting-to-standing transition due to muscle weakness, joint pain, or balance issues. They should be able to follow simple instructions and operate a basic remote control. The 60-day satisfaction guarantee allows families to try it risk-free.

Primary conditions that benefit:

• Arthritis (especially hip and knee)
• Neuromuscular diseases (ALS, MS, muscular dystrophy)
• Parkinson's disease and movement disorders
• Post-surgical recovery (joint replacement, spinal surgery)
• Inclusion Body Myositis and other inflammatory muscle conditions
• General muscle weakness from aging or illness
• Balance disorders that make standing transitions risky

Very suitable for post-operative recovery, especially after hip, knee, or back surgery when patients need to limit bending and strain. It maintains independence during recovery while reducing stress on healing surgical sites. Always consult with the surgical team before use.

SitnStand is designed for people who retain some walking ability but struggle with the sit-to-stand transition. It's not suitable for individuals who are completely bedridden or unable to bear weight on their legs. For severe mobility limitations, a hoyer lift or similar patient lift may be more appropriate.

Contraindications (from the user manual):

• Do not use the Lift Assist Classic while under the influence of narcotics or alcohol.
• Do not use the Lift Assist Classic while holding a child or infant.
• Do not use the Lift Assist Classic inside a car.
• Do not use the Lift Assist Classic without clothing.
• In the case of cognitive impairment, use the Lift Assist Classic only with a caregiver.

Read the Safety chapter of the user manual before first use.

Current pricing: $649 (regularly $699, saving $50). This includes the device with its attached remote control, a rechargeable Li-ion battery, a wall charger with cable, the user manual, and for the Compact model, a carrying backpack. All models come with a 2-year full warranty and 60-day satisfaction guarantee with free shipping and returns.

To qualify for Medicare coverage of lift mechanisms:

• Severe arthritis of hip/knee OR severe neuromuscular disease
• Complete inability to stand from regular chair without assistance
• Ability to walk once standing (with or without assistive devices)
• Face-to-face physician examination within 6 months
• Form CMS-849 (Certificate of Medical Necessity) completed by doctor
• Device must be part of physician's treatment plan

If covered, Medicare pays 80% of approved amount after $257 deductible (2025 rates). Patients pay 20% coinsurance plus any amount above Medicare's approved rate. Since SitnStand costs $649 and traditional lift mechanisms are valued around $300-500, significant out-of-pocket costs are likely.

Private insurance coverage varies widely. Some plans may cover durable medical equipment with physician prescription. Medicaid may provide coverage in some states. Veterans Affairs may cover for eligible veterans. Contact your insurance provider with the specific product information and physician prescription to determine coverage.

We also offer flexible payment plans through Affirm based on your purchasing power, allowing you to split your purchase into manageable monthly installments. Some medical supply companies offer additional payment plans. HSA/FSA funds may be used if prescribed by a physician for medical necessity. Check with your HSA/FSA administrator for specific requirements.

Regular cleaning (from the user manual):

• Before cleaning: disconnect the charger from the power mains
• Fabric surfaces: Clean with a soft, dry brush
• Plastic components: Wipe with a damp cloth
• Do not use solvents or detergents to clean any part, and do not iron the fabric surface

• Keep dry and away from dust or dirt

Optimize battery life by:

• Charging when the orange Charge Battery light on the remote comes on (up to 7 days between charges)
• Charging for at least 12 hours before first use; after that, until the charger light changes from red to green (up to 5 hours from empty)
• Store in dry environment when not in use
• Use provided wall charger only (100-240V compatible)
• Battery is easily removable for charging or replacement

Storage guidelines:

• Keep completely dry and protect from dust/dirt
• Store deflated in provided backpack (Compact model)
• Room temperature storage recommended
• Avoid extreme temperatures or humidity
• Minimal storage space required (0.4 inches thick when deflated)

Minimal maintenance required:

• Test remote control functionality regularly
• Check battery charge level before extended travel
• Keep air supply unit intake vents clear of debris
• Professional service available if mechanical issues arise. They can be contacted through this warranty claim form

Replacement indicators:

• Battery won't hold charge after proper care
• Air leaks (contact your seller or SitnStand support)
• Remote control unresponsive to troubleshooting
• Visible damage to air bladders or housing
• 2-year warranty covers all manufacturing defects and component failures when used properly

Battery optimization steps:

• Charge when the orange Charge Battery light on the remote comes on
• Charge fully, until the charger light changes from red to green (up to 5 hours from empty)
• Check that wall charger connection is secure
• LED indicators should show charging status
• If battery is over 2 years old, consider replacement
• Contact support if battery won't hold charge after proper care

Normal operation produces less than 70 dB of noise (similar to normal conversation). Increased noise might indicate:

• Blockage in air intake vents - contact support
• Overloading - check weight limit (400 lbs max)
• Air leak - contact support
• Normal wear - some noise increase expected over time

Potential causes and solutions:

• Uneven weight distribution - recenter user on device
• Furniture instability - check chair/wheelchair stability
• Partial air leak - contact support
• Low battery - charge fully and test again
• Damaged remote -contact support

Troubleshooting steps:

1. Charge the battery - make sure the battery is attached and charged (the orange Charge Battery light is off and the green light is flashing). With a depleted battery the cushion can only be deflated.
2. Reset the system - if the red and green lights on the remote are flashing, press the Up and Down buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds.
3. Check the cable - the remote is connected to the unit by a cable. Do not operate with damaged cords or plugs.
4. Contact your seller or SitnStand support if these steps don't work
