Many people struggle with the routine task of standing up or sitting down, especially from low seating like sofas or armchairs.
Aside from electric or hydraulic powered rising seats, there are other pieces of equipment which attempt to help with the same issue.
Height booster cushions - these are essentially firm cushions which are usually placed between the sofa seat and its own removable cushion.
This raises the height of the sitter, meaning there is less distance of travel from sitting to standing.
Elephant feet or chair raisers - plastic or wooden blocks which have indentations into which the feet of furniture can fit.
Suitable for chairs or beds, again their chief purpose is to raise the height of the user’s sitting position, making it more manageable to sit down and back up again.
