I bought a kneeler for indoors.

I've had a kneeler for outdoor use for years. I doubt I'd be able to even accomplish half of my gardening chores without it. My knees are so creaky and I have trouble getting up from a kneeling position. I thought since it works so well outside why not get one for inside. I ordered one from Amazon.
My son put pieces of foam insulation on all the sides and attached it with plastic straps so it wouldn't scratch my floors or tile.
So far it is working great. No more crawling across the room to get to a chair so I can pull myself up from a kneeling position.
I can turn it over andnew kneeler.JPG use it as a stool as well.

we have this exact same one for outdoors...very useful to help me get up when my back and knee are playing up. The good thing is that you can use it to kneel and use the arms to help you up, and tip it up the other way and use it as a seat :D....and it's so lightweight too
 
eat. Trying to retrieve books from under your bed that kneeling on the floor keeps you stuck to get up off the floor. On my case I need to lay on my stomach and then try to use a mop handle to try to grab these many things that refuses to leave their hideout. So frustrated

That's really something useful to consider. I've never seen one of those. I can't get up off the floor without using upper body strength anymore.

Please do get one of these, I have one..I use it in the garden so it's stored in the shed , but it's small and light enough to use in the house or anywhere you need help to rise from the floor... It folds up almost totally flat as well

@hollydolly I didn't realize they can fold. That's great to know. Just like a step stool.

oh yes, and very lightweight too... I have mine hanging on a hook in the shed..if it wasn't dark now I'd go and take a photo for you..but here's one from the web....also as I said already, you can use it to kneel on with the arms side by side to support you to get up, or use it the other way round with the arms as legs , and as a stool to sit on..

My problem is I cannot kneel on my knees anymore without a lot of pain. I would swear my kneecaps are broken but doctor says "no, just arthritis".

I'll bet it is Arthritis as well.. I have my right knee which gives me horrible pain at times, and hurts like the devil if I kneel... but according to the Top London Harley street doctor who X-rayed my knee, it's just wear & tear.. but it's astonishing just how painful it is... so I feel for you if you have it in both knees..
