Can it really be used on a sofa? My Mom is having a hard time getting off the sofa.....will it work with softer style cushions

Yes it can. I have difficulty rising & I bought this to allow me to have other seating arrangements. Also, being portable it can go with me & I don't have to worry about getting "stuck" and not being able to rise.

I found I had to take a soft cushion off the chair/sofa and place on the item then it worked fine.

Always ensure you have something to hold on to when using the Upeasy lifting cushion. For best results, use in a stable armchair or sofa.Upeasy is not recommended for use in wheelchairs, automobiles or office chairs with non-lockable wheels.Upeasy may be used in a reclining style chair, but only in the upright position.

The manufacturer recommends using it on a stable sofa. As long as the cushions aren't too soft for the lift base to be able to use the lift arm, it should work.

It probably can be used on a sofa bed, but would not nearly be as safe. It uses the box spring for stability. I would not advise it. Andrew Wright (occupational therapist)

I am not sure, I use mine on a sofa, 2 legs of mine sit on the edge of a wool area rug and will not move easily. Perhaps with all 4 on carpet might make a difference. There are sliders that you can put on the bottom which would allow them to easily be moved. I love mine!

The material it is made of is very thick. I'm not sure of the poundage it would hold but I think it could stand up to a lot of 'rough' use. I think, personally, it would work just fine for a cushion, just don't inflate it all the way.

I use mine on a lazy boy recliner chair which works well for me. I've never used it on a dining chair or a sofa, but imagine it would work well with those too.

I would suggest you remove mattress support. I used with my sofa bed when I have guests. Great support, but it may compromise the support boards if you fold in with sofa bed, because they have a certain pattern that it is pre-folded into.

I bought this for my mom. I think she used it on cushions. I know she used it on an indoor rug with great success. Took the rug outside, washed it and let it dry in the sun. Now it's as good as new.

I have used it on couch cushions with good results. As with any product, I would try a little in an inconspicuous area first.

were you thinking about hanging it off the egde? I would think as long as it has something behind it to support it somehow, just so it's not just hanging there flapping around, it would still work ok. I suppose you could put the most of it on the couch and let part of it drape down the side where she scratches.

My son never uses this in a the sofa position, but he says with his type of mattress, it probably would slip/overhang the bottom some, with nothing to stop it. He uses the thicker/firmer type futon mattress.... In the flat position, we give it 5*'s though.... nice and solid!!

I have a cheap sofa and even before I added the padding a board fell off. I take the memory foam off and roll it up and keep it in the spare bedroom. It rolls up pretty good.

I would not use this cushion for this sofa. I suggest you put a piece of plywood under the cushions. This will raise it up somewhat.

I have the exact same question. Did you end up buying it AnnD? Did it work? I would like to use it in my fabric sofa as well... Thank you in advance

I suppose you could try...it has ties which you typically place along the box spring and then place the mattress on top of it to anchor it, but I imagine you could tuck it or wrap it somehow into the back of the couch cushions and have it be secure enough. Not completely sure it would stay up.

Yes, this will make it better, but I wouldn't recommend keeping it on the sofabed when it is in sofa mode. These pads take a while to flatten after being curled.

The memory foam has a lot of form or 'body' if that's the right word, so I think there might be some resistance - particularly against your bedding.It would bend, certainly, but I'm not sure it would easlily fold and unfold in a sleeper sofa.

This is really made for chairs and runs really big, it drags on the ground but has cords to tie it up with. Not sure of the measurements as it is packed away still for the summer but with the way it slopes in the front I don't think it would work for a sofa....It is as wide on as a outdoor patio chair....
