The Easy Rise Cushion is very simple an remarkably effective and having no moving parts to go wrong, it should offer the user many years of reliable service. The cushion\"s multiple layers of foam provide excellent comfort and also raise the effective height of the seat or chair by 100mm (4\") and this, in itself, also acts as a useful aid to standing.
