SitnStand – Portable Rising Seats for Safe, Independent Transfers

Getting up from a chair sounds simple. Well, until it isn't. For anyone dealing with reduced leg strength, recovering from surgery, or managing a condition that affects mobility, that moment of standing up can be the most difficult part of the day. SitnStand was designed specifically for that moment. It's a portable, battery-powered rising seat cushion that gently lifts you to a standing position — so you can get up safely, on your own, without calling for help.

What Is a SitnStand Rising Seat?

SitnStand cushions sit on top of your existing chair — dining chair, recliner, lounge, wheelchair, or car seat — and use a quiet air-inflation system to gradually raise you to a standing position. No motors, no complicated setup, no permanent modifications to your furniture. Just place it, sit on it, and when you're ready to stand, it does the work.

It's discreet, it's travel-friendly, and it works on pretty much any seat you'd encounter in everyday life. That's what makes it genuinely different from most lift chairs or transfer aids; you're not tied to one piece of equipment in one room. SitnStand goes where you go.

The SitnStand Range

There are a few different SitnStand models designed for different situations, and a range of accessories to keep everything running smoothly.

• SitnStand for Home - Built for everyday use on armchairs, recliners, and sofas. If sitting down and getting back up is a daily challenge at home, this is the one to start with. It fits most standard seat widths and works quietly enough that you won't feel self-conscious using it with people around.
• SitnStand for Wheelchairs - Designed to make transfers easier for wheelchair users — whether you're moving to a dining chair, a toilet seat, or a vehicle. Reduces the physical effort for the user and lowers the manual handling load on carers too.
• SitnStand for Travel - A more compact version built for life on the go. Fits in a bag, works on car seats, café chairs, and public seating. If you or someone you care for travels regularly and needs consistent support, this one's worth a look.
• Accessories - Replacement air pumps, carry bags, and spare parts to keep your SitnStand in good shape long-term.
  

Who Uses SitnStand?

SitnStand suits a pretty wide range of people. Older Australians who've noticed their legs aren't quite as reliable as they used to be. People recovering from a hip or knee replacement who need a bit of lift while they rebuild strength. Anyone with a condition — arthritis, Parkinson's, MS, or reduced lower-body strength — that makes standing from a seated position difficult or risky.

It's also a practical tool for carers and support workers. Helping someone stand from a low chair puts real strain on your body over time. SitnStand takes that load off, which is better for the person you're supporting and better for you.

And because it's NDIS-approved and often recommended by occupational therapists as part of a home safety plan, it's a product that ticks a lot of boxes for participants and their coordinators.

Why SitnStand Works So Well in Real Life

Most mobility aids solve one specific problem in one specific place. SitnStand solves the same problem everywhere you sit down. That portability is what makes it stand out — and why it's so widely recommended by OTs and aged care professionals across Australia.
A few things worth knowing:

• No installation required — sits on top of any chair, no tools, no modifications
• Battery-powered — charges like a phone, lasts for multiple uses between charges
• Quiet operation — inflates gradually and discreetly, no sudden jolts or loud motors
• NDIS-approved — eligible for funding under Assistive Technology in most plans
• Travel-ready — compact enough to take to a restaurant, a friend's place, or on holiday
• Reduces carer strain — lowers the manual handling risk for support workers and family carers

SitnStand as Assistive Technology

Assistive technology, or AT, is the broader term for any product that helps someone do something they'd otherwise find difficult or impossible to do independently. SitnStand fits squarely into that category. For people with reduced lower-body strength, mobility conditions, or post-surgical restrictions, a rising seat cushion isn't a luxury. It's a practical tool that makes safe, independent transfers possible.

Is SitnStand Funded by the NDIS?

SitnStand products are NDIS-approved and frequently included in AT plans for participants with mobility-related support needs. Lower-cost models can often be purchased directly using AT funding without a formal assessment. If you're looking at multiple SitnStand products or a higher-tier model, an OT recommendation can help support your funding request.

We offer NDIS instant checkout on eligible SitnStand products, so if you're a plan-managed or self-managed participant, you can order without the back-and-forth. Not sure where SitnStand fits in your plan? Your support coordinator can help, or give us a call.

SitnStand for Mobility & Daily Living

Rising seats like SitnStand sit within the broader Mobility & Daily Living assistive technology category. The same category that covers walkers, wheelchairs, shower chairs, and transfer aids. If you're building out a home care setup or putting together an AT plan, it's worth exploring the full range to make sure every transfer point in the home is covered.
