The UpEasy is a portable seat assist cushion that has no cords and can be taken with you wherever you go. It weighs less than 10 pound but uses a pneumatic piston that supports up to 80% of your weight and gently lowers you into a sitting position. When it's time to get up, simply release the safety mechanism and you will be raised securely from your seat. Ideal for use on firm seating surfaces such as wooden chairs, park benches, and movie theater seats.
