Our Take
The Companion 950+ Straight Stairlift is an affordable model with a low-intrusion track. It fits straight staircases and carries users up to 140 kg (22 stone). Moreover, the slim rail keeps the steps clear for the household.
Benefits
Ease of Installation
Fitting is quick and simple. Because it needs only minor changes to your stairs, most installs finish in one visit.
Compact Design
The slim rail barely intrudes on the staircase. As a result, others can still use the stairs easily.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
The lift runs quietly and smoothly from step to step. Therefore, every journey feels calm and comfortable.
Safety Features
A seatbelt, sensors and a swivel seat come as standard. Together, they help you get on and off safely.
Customisable Options
Despite the low price, it takes useful extras. For example, you can add a perch seat, a powered footrest, a powered swivel seat or a body harness.
Considerations
It covers the essentials but lacks the advanced options of higher-end lifts.
The seat is also plainer than on top models, so longer rides may feel less cushioned.
This reliable but basic model can need more frequent servicing over time.
Other Models to Consider
The Companion 950+ Straight is one of several straight-rail options worth considering side by side. The Companion 1100 Straight is a close match on size and capacity and the Bruno Elan Straight folds slimmer at 305mm for tighter stairs, while the Acorn Superglide 120 Slimline Straight is rated to 127kg. A home survey will confirm the best fit.
