The genius of du is how it moves you so easily and gracefully. But the beauty of du is that it works for everyone.
Every chair can be customised and adapted to whoever is using it. A few twists of the dial and it doesn’t matter if you’re five foot one and 50kg wringing wet or 6 feet two and a strapping 100kg … anyone can make friends with du.
So whatever shape or size you are, the key to du is just having a desire to stay active and to live independently the way you want.

du vs electric lift assist chairs …
it’s almost unfair to compare
I believe the du chair is actually keeping me active and keeping me using my muscles. I've got muscular dystrophy… I find that I can put the energy into sitting down easily, and I can also stand quite easily. And it's tailored for my particular weight. I find that it's a lot better than the electric lifter chairs that I've tried. I think you become a bit too reliant on them.
Electric lift assist chairs have never been the right solution for people needing some movement in and out of chairs but wanting to retain independence.
Electric chairs work for you, not with you, consume expensive power, and are traditionally very large and bulky.
Conversely, owning a du chair means you’re maintaining core body strength and muscle condition as your body works in sync with the chair to sit down and stand up in real time. For your general health and wellbeing and life expectancy, an electric chair is just no match for the du chair.
