Description
This is a standing handle for the person who can sit down in a couch or recliner but struggles to get back out of it.
Who is the CouchCane for?
- Adults who need a steady grip at chest height to rise from a couch, recliner or lift chair, and the family who help them.
- It is a handle, not a lift. It does not raise you, so you still need leg strength to stand.
- Someone over 250 lb (113 kg) needs a different aid.
Will it work with your chair?
- Measure from the front of the chair to the back of its feet. The base reaches 17-33 in (43-84 cm) deep.
- The pads sit under the chair's front and back feet, so your chair needs feet with room to slide the pads beneath.
- Stand beside the chair and check that the top of the handle lands near your hip or waist.
Compatibility and limits
- The handle works with a couch, a recliner and a lift chair, according to the maker.
- It moves between chairs, but it holds only where the pads are under the feet.
- The maker gives no warranty term on the pages we read, so ask us before you buy.

Frequently asked questions
Will the pads fit under a chair with short legs?
Only if the pads, 5.5 in wide, slide under the feet. Measure the gap under the chair's feet before you order.
Can I use one handle on two chairs?
Yes. The handle moves between chairs, but the pads must sit under the feet of the chair you are using.
Is it safe to push down on it while standing?
It is made to take a push from a standing person up to 250 lb (113 kg). Never lean on it beyond that.
