Stairlifts usually have a fold down seat where you sit during the ascent and descent. However, some of the stairlifts in Stafford may just have a platform where you stand and a pad which you lean against. You may prefer this type of stairlift if you are able to stand but have difficulty bending your knees to sit. It is not the ideal choice, however, if you suffer from dizziness. A standing lift has the added advantage of requiring less operating width. That makes it a good choice if your stairs are narrow.

Always wear your seatbelts for your own safety

The manufacturer's priority in coming up with the stairlift is the safety of the customers who will be using it regularly. Whether you choose a seated or standing stairlift in Stafford, you will feel quite safe during the ascent or descent as it moves quite slowly and smoothly. All stairlifts are fitted with a safety belt and you should always put it on for added security. When you use a stairlift unaided, you will need to be able to get on and off without help, secure the seatbelt and to operate the controls. On some stairlifts, the foot platform is levelled with the floor to make mounting and dismounting easier.
