Uplift Seat Assist Heavy Duty, Manual Spring-Assisted, 350 lb

The Uplift Seat Assist Heavy Duty is a manual, spring-assisted lifting cushion that converts any standard armchair, sofa, or recliner into a lifting chair without electricity or batteries. Its reinforced spring mechanism lifts up to 80% of the user's body weight up to 10 inches, giving users weighing 200 to 350 lbs the support they need to rise safely and independently. High-density memory foam provides a comfortable seating surface, and the included black waterproof cover keeps the cushion clean and protected. The built-in carry handle makes it easy to move between rooms or bring along to appointments. A practical, affordable alternative to a full power lift chair for larger users. Backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty.

Caregivers managing a family member's mobility at home will find this cushion easy to reposition between the living room, bedroom, or any other seating area as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Regular and Heavy Duty Uplift Seat Assist?

The Regular model (UL100) supports users weighing 80–230 lbs. The Heavy Duty model (UL300) is reinforced to support users weighing 200–350 lbs. Both share the same seat dimensions, lift height, and spring-assist mechanism — the difference is the weight rating of the internal spring system.

Does the Heavy Duty model work on any chair?

Yes. The Uplift Seat Assist Heavy Duty is designed to work on any standard armchair, sofa, loveseat, or recliner. It sits on top of the existing seat cushion and requires no installation or modification to the chair.

How does the spring-assist mechanism work?

When the user sits down, their body weight compresses the internal spring mechanism, storing energy. When the user leans forward to stand, the spring gradually releases that energy to provide a controlled, gentle lift — no power source required. The mechanism resets automatically each time the user sits.

Is this covered by insurance?

Coverage for seat lift mechanisms varies by insurance plan and requires a physician's prescription and documentation of medical necessity. Contact your insurance provider or a DME billing specialist to verify your specific eligibility and documentation requirements before purchasing.
