Buying guide

Help getting up without a lift

A stand aid gives someone a solid handhold to push or pull against while they get up from a bed, sofa or chair under their own strength. It is the simplest step before a powered lift. If a caregiver has to take the person's weight, look at sit-to-stand lifts or full-body patient lifts instead.

Choose by where you get up

Check the weight rating on each product page against the user's weight. For support in the bathroom, see bath and shower safety.

Frequently asked questions

What is a stand assist device?
A handle, rail or pole that gives someone a firm grip to push or pull against while standing up from a bed, sofa or chair under their own strength. It does not lift the person.
Do stand aids need tools or drilling?
Most do not. Couch and chair stand assists slide under the furniture, bed rails fit between the mattress and box spring or frame, and tension poles fit between floor and ceiling. Follow each product's installation instructions.
What is the difference between a manual standing aid and a sit-to-stand lift?
With a manual standing aid such as the BestMove STA400, the user pulls up to standing using their own strength and the caregiver wheels them. A sit-to-stand lift raises the person mechanically, for people who cannot rise on their own.
