The EnhanSit provides a clear example of how a seemingly small accommodation can make a big difference in people’s lives.
The EnhanSit is an electric lift frame to which consumers can easily mount their recliner. In fact, its universal design safely fits over 95% of recliners worldwide. The only information anyone needs to verify is whether the solid wood or metal base of their recliner is 28 inches wide or less. The device arrives fully assembled and ready to slide under the recliner, mount to its base and plug into an outlet.
With the press of a button on a remote control, EnhanSit gently lifts and tilts the recliner forward, making it easier and safer to transition from a sitting position. This device helps a wide range of people with mobility issues.
“Anybody that’s trying to age in place, obviously that’s a key demographic for us,” said EnhanSit Director of Customer Engagement Matt Cavanaugh. “It’s something that might make the difference between somebody having to relocate to an assisted living facility or being able to stay at home. But there’s also people that are recovering from surgery or have some kind of disability. It helps ease the burden on caregivers trying to help their loved ones or patients as well.”
Customer testimonials support these statements. Here are just a few:
“I’m 84 and still living in my home. The EnhanSit helps me get out of my recliner safely without calling my daughter every time I want to stand. I feel more independent again.” — Edna J., Asheville, NC
“Watching my husband struggle to stand was breaking my heart. The EnhanSit brought back his confidence — and gave me some peace of mind.” — Susan F., Reading, PA
“As a physical therapist, I’ve recommended the EnhanSit to several clients. It promotes safe transitions without compromising comfort. Great product.” — Rebecca L., PT, Lancaster, PA
