Getting out of bed shouldn’t be a daily challenge. But for many people living with a disability, chronic condition, or recovering from surgery, even something as simple as sitting up can cause discomfort, slipping, or muscle strain.
That’s where the Powered Backrest with Anti-Slip Support comes in. Designed with comfort and ease in mind, this device offers gentle powered assistance to help you rise and recline without effort. It also helps reduce the risk of slipping and sliding, so you can start your mornings feeling secure and supported.
If you’ve been looking for a solution to help you or a loved one feel more confident in bed, this could be the answer.
Start the Day Without the Usual Struggle
Waking up should be a smooth transition, not a physical strain. This powered backrest helps reduce the need for manual effort, making it easier to sit up, readjust your position, or move to your automatic wheelchair or reclining electric wheelchair safely.
It’s particularly helpful for people who:
- Experience joint pain, fatigue, or weakness
- Are recovering from injury or surgery
- Have limited mobility due to age or disability
- Use a wheelchair with battery or drive power wheelchair as part of daily life
When paired with a fully automatic wheelchair or tech 4 wheelchair, this product becomes part of a complete assistive solution designed to support independence and mobility at home.
Features That Make a Difference
This isn’t just another support cushion. It’s a well-designed, powered assistive product made for real people and real needs.
Stable, Anti-Slip Design
One of the most common issues people face when sitting up is sliding down the mattress or feeling unstable. The anti-slip base and side support prevent this, offering a firm, secure sitting position.
Smooth Powered Adjustment
With the touch of a button, the backrest lifts your upper body slowly and gently, helping you reach a comfortable upright position. This means no awkward pulling or pushing, reducing pressure on the back and shoulders.
Lightweight and Portable
It’s easy to move and store. Whether you use it every morning or just on days you need extra help, the compact size makes it simple to reposition or take along when travelling.
Works with Most Beds
The design fits standard flat surfaces, making it compatible with most mattresses, adjustable beds, or aged care setups.
Prevents Strain for Both Users and Carers
This powered backrest doesn’t just support users—it also reduces the lifting strain on carers and family members. Whether you’re assisting a loved one or managing a professional care routine, this tool helps prevent unnecessary physical effort.
Supporting someone into a seated position without proper equipment can increase the risk of injury for both parties. Adding this backrest can improve comfort and safety on both sides.
