We will often recommend the best stairlifts for curved stairs according to your staircase, circumstances and budget. Give us a call and we will help you choose a suitable stairlift. There are also a few models we might recommend which are particularly suitable for curved stairs.
Certain models in particular are good for narrow, curved staircases, or awkward staircases. Here’s one we have found to be very popular, the Thyssen Flow 2. It’s great at dealing with awkward curved staircases and has a number of features which makes it perfect for most curved staircases.
Best Stairlifts For Curved Stairs
The Flow 2 stairlift is particularly good at navigating tight, curved staircases because of it’s patented ASL technology. This allows it a smooth ride while ascending and pivoting the seat simultaneously. It levels the chair, maintains tilt and rises and swivels in a smooth motion, even in narrow tricky corners and while avoiding obstacles.
Here’s an engineer installing a Thyssen Flow 2 on a tricky corner. Programming of the stairlift to individual stairways allows them to be customised to your staircase to navigate awkward motions around tricky obstacles, such as this newel post.
Best Stairlift For Curved Stairs & Narrow Staircases
The Flow 2 is also very good for a narrow staircase, as you can see. It can even function on staircases as little as 61cm wide.
Here’s the Flow 2 on a tight stairlift both parked at the top and moving down the stairs. When not in use the stairlift can be parked and folds down to just 38 cm in width – making it perfect if you have a very narrow staircase and want to save space.
Best Stairlifts For Curved Stairs – The Flow X
Another similar model of stairlift which is particularly good for curved staircases is the Flow X stairlift. This is the newer model of the Flow 2 and is basically the updated version with more “bells and whistles”. So if you’re after the newest stairlift on the market, the Flow X fits the bill.
The Flow X even has an option to connect the lift with your phone for emergency phone calls. You can automate the chair swivel and foldaway as an optional extras as well as choose the rail colour and even choose a leather seat!

Best Stairlifts For Curved Stairs – Other Models
There’s various other makes and models too which cater for curved staircases such as Acorn, Stannah, Handicare and Brooks. But here at UK stairlifts we like the Thyssen stairlift range of curved stairlifts because they are the most versatile and agile when it comes to a curved staircase!
With its patented technology the Thyssen Flow 2 and Thyssen Flow X offer the smoothest ride when it comes to curved staircases and they are particularly useful when it comes to narrow or awkward staircases.
They can even navigate spiral staircases!
