Stand up easier. On your own terms.
The Carex Seat Assist Plus is a portable lifting cushion that helps you rise from a chair or sofa without an expensive power lift chair. It activates automatically as you lean forward to stand, providing up to 70% of the lift you need — gently and without pushing you off-balance.
- Lifts up to 70% of body weight — supports users up to 340 lbs
- Patented LeveLift Technology curves the seat without pitching you forward
- Self-powered — no electricity, no batteries, no outlet required
- Weighs 9 lbs with a built-in carry handle for easy transport
- Washable, waterproof polyester cover included
How LeveLift
works.
Most cheap alternatives push the seat up and forward, which can throw the user off balance. LeveLift uses a hydro-pneumatic gas spring to curve the seat upward in a controlled arc — following the natural motion of standing, not fighting it.
- Hydro-pneumatic gas spring — the same technology used in office chairs and hospital beds; smooth, reliable, no mechanical wear
- Adjustable weight settings — tuned to the user's body weight for a consistent, controlled lift
- Automatically activates — no buttons or handles to operate; responds to the natural shift in weight as the user leans forward
- Safe lift arc — seat curves up without tipping forward, keeping the user centered over their feet
No Power Needed
Self-powered by a hydro-pneumatic gas spring. No outlet, no batteries, no cords — works anywhere you sit.
340 lb Capacity
Supports users from 200 to 340 lbs. Adjustable weight settings let you dial in the lift assist to the right level.
Easy to Clean
The removable waterproof polyester cover wipes clean with a damp cloth or can be fully removed and washed.
Compatibility and Use Requirements
The Seat Assist Plus is designed for use on firm seating surfaces. It works correctly on:
- Most standard armchairs with firm cushions
- Firm sofas and loveseats
- Hard wooden or upholstered chairs
It should not be used on:
- Wheelchair seats
- Very soft or plush cushions (the seat needs a firm base to compress against)
- Reclining chairs or chairs without a solid seat base
If the cushion sinks too far into the seat, the spring cannot compress and the lift will not activate correctly.
Who This Is For
The Seat Assist Plus is designed for people who can walk independently (with or without a cane or walker) but find sitting down and standing back up difficult due to:
- Arthritis or joint pain in the knees or hips
- Reduced leg strength or general deconditioning
- Post-surgical recovery (hip replacement, knee replacement)
- Balance concerns when transitioning from sitting to standing
It is not intended for users who cannot bear weight on their legs or who require full transfer assistance. For those users, a full power lift chair or caregiver transfer is more appropriate.
FSA & HSA Eligibility
Mobility aids such as lift cushions may be eligible for reimbursement under Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) when used to manage a qualifying medical condition. Confirm eligibility with your plan administrator before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a power lift chair?
A power lift chair replaces your existing chair and costs $500–$2,000+. The Seat Assist Plus works with your existing furniture, costs a fraction of the price, and is portable. The trade-off is that it provides partial lift assist (up to 70%) rather than full powered lifting.
Does it work if I weigh less than 200 lbs?
The Seat Assist Plus is calibrated for users between 200 and 340 lbs. Users below 200 lbs should consider the standard Seat Assist (non-Plus), which is tuned for lighter users.
How do I adjust the lift level?
The unit has an adjustable weight range dial that allows you to set the spring tension to your body weight. This ensures the lift is firm enough to assist without feeling abrupt.
Is it loud when it activates?
No. The hydro-pneumatic mechanism is quiet — similar to a desk chair lowering slowly. There is no clicking or banging.
Can I take it on a plane?
The unit is under 9 lbs and fits in a carry-on or checked bag. There are no lithium batteries or pressurized components that would be flagged by TSA. Confirm with your airline if unsure.
