Which is the best stairlift for me?

Choosing the Best Stairlift

What do you need?

Why have the stairs become a problem? Is it a lack of energy? Is it your knees? Is it your heart? Is it a fear of falling? The answer to this question will help our specialist advise you which chair would suit you best.

For example if a mobility problem affects your knees, maybe a perch-seat like The Sadler would be best. It supports your weight, so it’s easy on your knees, but also means you don’t have to sit down completely. It’s that much easier to get in and out of. Our specialist can even advise you about mobility aids and grants to help you purchase a stairlift.

The Siena is the Choice For You

If you want that extra bit of room, or in the case your stairs are very steep or narrow, the Siena is the choice for you – it comes in two widths. The Siena might also be a good choice if you’re unsteady getting up and down as its longer arms offer you extra support as you get in and out of the chair.

We can help you choose the options that would make you feel safe and confident.

Booking a home visit is easy, just give us a call us now. Our consultant will be with you in no time, asking you the right questions to find out what would work for you. Before you know it, your stairlift will be installed and you’ll have no idea what you did without it.

What does your house need?

Every staircase is different. As you can imagine, what your staircase is like is a very important factor in choosing the right stairlift for you. To decide which type of lift you need, start thinking about these questions:

• Is there room to get in and out of the chair at the bottom of the stairs?
• Is there a landing halfway up?
• How many steps in the staircase?
• Are your stairs straight or curved?
• Are there any obstacles in the way?
• Are there more than one set of stairs?
• Where will the chair sit when it’s not in use?
• Which side of the stairs should your stairlift go on?

Our sales consultant will help you answer any questions you are unsure of. They measure your staircase from top to bottom to work out the best options.

Start looking at your staircase and thinking about what would work best for you. During your home visit, our consultant will talk you through what they think will work best. Then you can decide together what suits your wants and needs.

Home Visit: Measuring your Stairs

When you call us, we’ll schedule your home visit. That’s when we send a specialist advisor to your house to help you work out what you want and need. From the rail to the type of chair, every part of a stairlift can be changed to suit you better. If your stairs are straight, a straight rail will be cut down to the millimeter to fit your stairs. If they turn, a rail will be bent to hug every curve.

Then you have your choice of chairs that fit onto the rail. Do you want longer arms on the chair? A wider seat? A perch seat? A wide range of upholsteries? A wider footrest or a footrest that’s angled to your left or to your right?
