An up and down chair can give you the freedom to handle daily tasks without any help from others. In addition, it can help with:
Many of the above points are easy to handle by people without disabilities, but if you have a disability, you may struggle in this respect. That is what can make everyday life difficult.
An easy sit-stand chair with electric height adjustment offers the opportunity to push your disability into the distance, as you can extend your energy for a longer time and do more of the things you enjoy. A sit to stand chair can be an invaluable tool, helping you maintain independence and move more easily around your home.
For many seniors, the kitchen is the heart of the home, but it can also be a challenging place when mobility or balance is an issue. The VELA stand-up chair is designed to provide stability and support, making it easier to carry out daily kitchen tasks safely and comfortably.
Imagine preparing dinner: standing at the counter can be tiring, especially if your legs need a break. With the sit stand chair, you have the option to use it as a kitchen stool to sit on while cooking. This allows you to chop vegetables, stir pots, and access ingredients with ease, all while maintaining stability and conserving energy. Its adjustable height ensures that everything on the counter or stove remains within easy reach, and the central brake keeps the chair securely in place while you work.
While both a sit to stand chair and a person lift provide valuable support, they serve very different purposes. A sit to stand chair or an electric lift chair is designed to help individuals transition smoothly from sitting to standing, offering support during daily activities like getting up from a chair, reaching for a cupboard, or moving to a nearby surface.
In contrast, a portable person lift is used to assist with transferring individuals between furniture, such as from a bed to a chair or from a wheelchair to a car. The VELA person lift can be mounted on walls or installed in vehicles to provide this specific type of assistance.
For those who require gentle support to regain independence in standing or transitioning, a sit-to-stand chair is the ideal solution. Meanwhile, person lifts are better suited for situations where full assistance with transfers is required, ensuring safety and comfort for both the individual and the caregiver.

A bariatric lift chair with a stable base and electric seat height adjustment takes this independence to the next level. Specifically designed to support users with greater weight or mobility challenges, it serves as an excellent sit-to-stand guide, significantly reducing strain on the knees during transitions. This feature not only promotes comfort and safety but also enables users to perform everyday activities – such as getting up for cooking or personal care – with greater ease and less physical exertion. By minimising the risk of strain or injury, such a chair empowers users to remain active and self-reliant in their daily routines.
