Our Take
The Companion Freecurve is a single rail curved stairlift with several benefits and considerations to keep in mind:
Benefits
Compact Design
The Companion Freecurve Straight Stairlift is known for its slim and compact design, which helps save space on the staircase and keeps it less obstructive when not in use.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
The stairlift operates quietly and smoothly, providing a comfortable and enjoyable ride.
Safety Features
The Companion Freecurve is equipped with safety features such as seatbelts, sensors, and a swivel seat, ensuring a secure and safe user experience.
Customization
The Companion Freecurve Straight Stairlift is designed for curved staircases, offering a high level of customization to fit unique and complex staircase configurations.
The Freecurve offers a selection of seat styles with a choice seat colour including luxury modern designs including a wood and leather design all available with a choice of manual or power swivel seating.
A Perch Seat option may also be available.
Considerations
Curved stairlift installations, including the Companion Freecurve, can be more complex and time-consuming compared to straight stairlift installations. This might lead to longer installation times and potential disruption during the process.
Curved stairlifts tend to be more expensive than straight stairlifts due to their customization requirements and installation complexity. The Companion Freecurve might have a higher cost associated with its specialized design.
While the Companion Freecurve offers customization, it might not be suitable for individuals with extremely narrow or unusually shaped curved staircases.
While Companion stairlifts are generally known to be reliable, curved stairlifts might require more frequent maintenance due to the complexity of the design and the potential for more moving parts.
