Freedom Stairlifts ~ Straight Stairlift Perch Seat SP
The SP is a specialised straight stairlift designed with a perch seat, offering a practical solution for users who find it difficult to bend their knees or prefer a more upright position. By combining the reliable mechanics of our S3 model with the added benefit of a perch-style seat, the SP ensures you can move between floors in comfort and security—without needing to fully sit down. If the user of the stairlift has restricted knee flexion or movement in the hip joints and the sitting position is painful, a perch seat may be the solution. It also provides more clearance on narrow stairs.
