Up N Go Cushion Review

Many users have a “mixed” reviews about the Up N Go cushion. Most users find it moderately useful. Some users claim in their reviews that it does not provide the lift they had expected. There are various reasons why Up N Go cushion works in certain cases and does not work in some. Mostly it has to do with the chairs.

Sitting Assist – Users reviews has confirmed that Up N Go cushion is not very supportive when you have to actually sit on it. It comes into the picture at the very last stage of the sitting activity. You still have to use the power of your leg muscles to bend down to seat. According to the reviews, the Up N Go cushion is more useful as a lift assist than a “sitting assist”.

Comfort and Support – Almost all the Up N Go cushion reviews confirm that the seat is comfortable to sit on. And provides adequate support.

Here are the excerpts of Up N Go Cushion Reviews

“Up N Go cushion does not really provide the upward force to truly assist in sitting. It provides lift but no assistance in sitting down. So the claims made in the infomercial video are not truly correct.”

Tyrone Glover mentions in his review – “The spring and hydraulic rod mechanism will soon wear out rendering the Up N Go cushion in-usable.”

Kenneth Duncan mentions in his review that it is very tricky to use. In his review he instructs on how to effectively use the Up N Go cushion. He says – “You will not notice the lift until you lean forward and ease some of the pressure from the cushion, once you reach this point it opens up gently.”

Matt Carter mentions in his Up N Go review that the lift offered by the cushion is not enough to get off the hair. You still have to rely up on a cane, chair arms or someone’s help.

Hilda Bryant reveals in her review that she was misled by the Up N Go infomercial. In her review she says – “I was a fool to think that this cushion would get rid of all other aids. Nope, you still have to use your arms and legs. It is not very useful to me because I needed something that would help me in my first effort and not something that would help only when the weight has been transferred to the legs.”

Some Up N Go reviews mention the fact that for the cushion to work properly, you have to sit way back on it. So shot people have to struggle to get their bum to the tip of the cushion.

Though the official Up N Go website claims that it can be carried anywhere, its kind of awkward and bulky to carry. Certainly not to be carried by the person who is actually going to sit on it.

Wanda Conner warns people on using the Up N Go cushion. In her review she states that you need to be very particular about the setting. Improper setting can cause it to exert more force on the person using it, causing him to loose balance.

Erin Burgess says in his Up N Go review that he has Parkinson’s and this cushion is not of great help for him. He states in his review that older people like him kind of slump in the chair at the last stage of their sitting action. So you have to be very careful you fall on the right place. If you are not at the center of the cushion you end up in a very uncomfortable and unbalanced position.

Ollie Dunn mentions in his review the Up N Go cushion would not be of much help to people who have balance issue. He says while sitting on the Up N Go cushion you have take help of some support an arm, a cane or a person. It is relatively easier to get up from the Up N Go cushion than sitting on it. But for people with Parkinson’s and balance issues, even getting up from is tricky and can even make them fall down to floor.

Lula Young mentions in her review that Up N Go cushion is certainly not an alternative to electric powered lift chairs.

Our Verdict

Before choosing to buy the Up N Go you have to understand its limitation, don’t get tricked into believing that it is an alternative to lift chairs. As the reviews have confirmed and as the name itself suggest – the Up N Go is a “lift assist” and nothing more. It only helps people who have “moderate” mobility and health issues. It is almost useless for people with serious health issues.
