Reliable access for your home
A straight stair lift makes it simple to move between floors safely and comfortably. Designed for straight staircases without turns or landings, Leaf Home’s Comfort Lift and Comfort Lift HD models provide smooth, quiet travel and dependable performance. Each lift combines high-quality engineering with a slim rail that keeps your stairs open and easy to use. Installed by trained Leaf Home experts, each lift provides a safer, more stylish way to stay independent at home — with fast installation and lasting peace of mind.
Why choose a straight stair lift?
A straight stair lift is the simplest and most practical choice for staircases without curves or turns. Because the rail runs in a direct path, installation is faster and more cost-effective than with a curved model. The design is easier to service and fits neatly along your stairs without major changes to your home. Leaf Home’s Comfort Lift and Comfort Lift HD indoor straight stair lifts are built for everyday use, giving you or your loved one a dependable, low-maintenance way to move between floors.
Key features & benefits
Industry-leading design
Each model is built to fit your home and your needs. The Comfort Lift features the narrowest rail width in the industry, measuring at 10.5” when folded, keeping your stairs open and easy to walk through. The Comfort Lift HD (heavy-duty) version offers the same clean, vertical layout but offers the heaviest weight capacity industry-wide at up to 600 pounds. Both hug the wall closely to leave maximum space on your staircase.
Smooth, quiet operation
The ride feels steady from start to finish. The motor is soft and quiet, and the lift is powered by a battery, so it still works even if the power goes out. It charges while parked, so it’s always ready when you are.
Safety & control
Sensors detect if something is in the way and immediately stop the lift. The seat swivels to help you get on and off, and the seatbelt keeps you secure while you ride. It’s built for everyday comfort and peace of mind.
Benefits of a straight stair lift for your home

Experience greater peace of mind
Safety brings peace of mind for everyone under your roof. You can go about your day confidently, and your loved ones can relax knowing the stairs are no longer a source of stress.

Hassle-free straight stair lift installation
Installing a straight stair lift is quick and tidy. The rail mounts directly to your steps — not the wall — so there’s no drywall work or remodeling. Our professional installers handle the entire process carefully, keeping your home clean and making sure the lift fits your staircase perfectly.
We start by visiting your home to assess your stairs and discuss your needs. The installer takes detailed measurements of the angle, width, and landings to plan a rail that matches your staircase and ensures a smooth, secure fit.
After measuring, we help you choose the option that feels right for you. That includes control setup and any comfort or safety features that make daily use easier. Everything is tailored during this step so your lift works exactly the way you need it to.
Once the installation is complete, we walk through the system together. You’ll see how the lift moves, learn how to use the controls, and test the safety features. Before leaving, our team checks every detail and ensures you feel confident using it on your own.
