—A base for the table
A clamp holder keeps the drink with you while you move. About $34 buys one and it does a job this cannot — because this has no clamp, no bracket, and nothing to attach.
This is the other half of the day. The table you pull up to, the one by the bed, the desk. A base 5.2 inches across that the glass stands in.

—Read this before anything else
Search this category and you get clamps. They are good products and they solve the moving half. This solves the other one, and it is worth knowing which you are buying before you spend anything.
A clamp holder.
Fitted to tubing, usually between five-eighths of an inch and one inch. The drink goes where the chair goes.
This is not that. There is no clamp on it and nothing to attach it with. About $34 buys one that does this job properly.
A base on the table.
The table it pulls up to. The one by the bed. The desk. Any surface that is standing still.
This is that. Five-point-two inches across, and the glass you already own stands in it.
Most people who need the first also have the second. They are not alternatives, and nothing here asks you to choose.
—Where a glass on a table goes wrong
The glass lands about where it was aimed. A 5.2-inch base is wider than the difference.
Something catches the rim on the way past. On a wide base the glass rocks and settles rather than going over.
The table gets bumped by somebody else entirely, which is the one nobody can do anything about.
—Does it actually work
Someone sits down beside it. The base spreads the load across the surface and the drink comes back level.
Filmed on a couch cushion — a soft surface, and a harder test than the standing-still table this page is about.
—How it holds
5.2 inches across and fixed. It moves the edge the glass would have to tip over much farther out, so the whole thing has to lean much farther before it goes.
Six of them, holding the bottom inch. Glasses and tumblers drop in; cans and bottles slide on. Glass and base then rock as one piece.
The rubber plants the base where it is set and lifts away clean. It marks nothing and there is nothing to adjust.
—The object
There is nothing to assemble, nothing to set up, nothing to fit and nothing to put away. It goes on the table and the glass goes in it.
—What seats and what does not
Nothing here needs replacing. What seats is a glass, a tumbler, a can, a bottle, or a lightweight plastic cup. A mug with a handle does not seat — the handle lands exactly where the fins grip — and that includes the two-handle mugs this aisle sells.
Containers are physical truth; drink names are aliases for them.
A width across the bottom of the glass, in inches.
A standard sticky note is three inches square. A glass standing on one with its base inside the paper will seat.
Anything that overhangs, or anything borderline — hello@steadilabs.com reaches a person, and the answer will be honest either way, including a no.
—Where they end up
The table that gets used. The one by the bed. A desk, a side table, a tray that is standing still. They stay where they are put, which is the point — a thing that lives in a drawer is a thing that is in the drawer on the day it was needed.
—What the aisle costs
Prices were looked up, not estimated, on 3 September 2026. Everything above the line does a different job from everything below it.
| The product | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Clamp-mount cup holder | $34.44 | Attaches to tubing. The drink travels with the chair. One retailer's price on 3 September 2026; the same holder lists at $53.04. |
| Non-slip matting, by the roll | $35.70 – $384.69 | Grip, cut to any length. |
| Non-slip mat, single | $14.70 – $33.00 | Grip, in a mat. |
| The Adaptive Cup Holder | $14.95 · two for $24.95, $12.48 each | Not a mount and not a mat. A base the glass stands in. |
A mat grips. This grips and is 5.2 inches wide. Those are two different jobs, and a mat is the right buy if what you need is for things to stop sliding on a tray.
Nothing on that list is meaningfully cheaper — the least expensive mat undercuts us by twenty-five cents — and most of it costs twice what this does or more. That is a fact about the aisle rather than an argument.

They say so themselves; we have not inferred it and we have not asked anybody. They are here because they describe the surface and the reach, which is what this page claims. Verbatim, unedited, not filtered by rating.

I love my Steadi can holder. I use an ottoman beside my couch for drinks and remotes. This keeps a can steady and allows me to have a can of soda or water nearby. Im disabled and its hard to get up repeatedly for a drink!

Literally love these. Living with chronic illness sucks and often means dinner in bed, and limiting my beverage to my side table when I have the whole mattress to picnic? I was wishing something like this existed and the algorithm delivered. Simple, lightweight, flexible! Immediately rec’d to all my friends, regardless of ability. Two thoughts- a version for mugs? Also, bright color options so I can have a hilighter orange to match my aesthetic.

Steadi works very well in stabilizing my drinks on soft surfaces, like the couch or by the chair I use as a nightstand.

OMG!!!!! YOU HAVE TO BUY THESE!!!!!! i tested it out today on an old tv tray (wood and very slippery) and put a soda in it and played like “oops i bumped my tray” (and really hard) and NADA, NOPE, NOT AN INCH OF MOVEMENT from the STEADI. everything else went flying!!! cuz dummy me didn’t remove those other items first 🙃 duh!!! and no it was not suctioned to my tray cuz it doesn’t do that. but WOW!!!!! what a great invention. wish i was thinking up this GREAT IDEA, instead of binge watching TRAITORS tv shows and SPILLING my soda as i jump with excitement/anger over the show. the plus side, while flipping thru FB (while the commercial is on) or i’m cleaning up my spilt soda 🤪….. i saw this ad and it was like angels were singing “BUY ME AND UR PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED”. so glad i did. they work great!!! i bought the 4ct from actual website and it shipped quick and packaging was perfect. all 4 colors are great!! black, white, deep terracotta (plant holder) color. very very nice color. especially during the fall. and a muted warm sage color. very nice also. FYI:: i forgot to mention, i even tested this out with a 8oz dinner cup and it worked perfectly. but put the cup in FIRST then add beverage…..LOL learn from my dumb remark of “i can get it around the cup filled to the brim and not drop a lick of this drink. well WRONG!!!! 😑 LOL!!! user error not the STEADI. buy this and trust me u won’t want to return it. oh and it is comfortable to hold. and actually, now i can set my can of soda down with a mighty slap on the table and a huff and puff in disgust, if my tv show is calling for my dark side to come out in anger, of their decision of who to banish on TRAITORS (US/UK/NZ/ and now CANDA)!! ENJOY!!!! and THANK YOU TO THE INVENTOR!!!!! i hear it’s a father of 3. 🤷♀️

—The limits, in one place
No clamp, no bracket, no strap, no hardware. It cannot be fitted to a chair, a walker, a rail or a frame, and no accessory exists that would let it. Said at the top and repeated here because it is the thing most likely to rule this out.
It holds well through ordinary movement — the maker has watched an empty can hold in over forty miles an hour of wind. What a wheelchair tray adds is tilt and a drop over a threshold, and nothing that is not clamped down survives that. If the drink has to travel with the chair, a clamp holder is the right product.
Including the two-handle mugs this aisle sells. The handle lands where the fins grip.
Not grip, not strength, not steadiness. It is a base on a table, and the glass is exactly as easy or as hard to pick up as it was before.
It resists tipping. A hard enough knock moves anything.
—If it turns out to be the wrong thing
It goes on the table and stays there for as long as it takes to know. If the answer is no, hello@steadilabs.com reaches a person and the money comes back — no form, no restocking fee, no questions about its condition, and nothing to pack up or post.
—Who makes it
Scott Rodriguez made the first one after a full drink went over on a soft cushion with three kids under three in the house. It was built for spills.
It was not designed as adaptive equipment and it is not sold as any. Nobody asked for this page either. It exists because a wide base does the same thing on any table, and because everything it does not do is written above.
Injection moulded in small runs a few miles from his desk; every order ships from the zip code it was made in. Patent pending. The email address on this page reaches him.
— Scott, Steadi Labs
—Questions
No. There is no clamp, no bracket and no mounting point of any kind, and nothing sold separately would add one. A clamp-mount holder is the right product for that, and it costs about $34.
No. A mat adds grip. This adds grip and 5.2 inches of width, and the glass stands in it rather than on it. If what you need is for things to stop sliding across a tray, a mat is the better buy, and the cheapest of them costs about the same as this.
Over smooth ground it does better than you would expect. Over a threshold or a kerb it does not, and we would not sell it for that. If the drink has to travel with the chair, buy the clamp.
No. It is a cup holder. Not a medical device, not adaptive equipment, not durable medical equipment, there is no HCPCS code, and no health claim is made for it. It cannot be billed to insurance or Medicare.
No. Both handles land where the fins grip. That is the clearest no on this page and it is not going to get better further down.
Yes, if the base is between two and about three inches across. Light cups are the tippiest ones, so they are the ones a wide base changes most.
Yes. A rinse or a wipe covers most of it, and it is dishwasher safe. It marks nothing and lifts clean.
Because it is one thing. It is a Steadi, made by Steadi Labs in Orange, California, and checkout finishes at steadilabs.com where the company lives.
—Still deciding
Then buy that. It is about $34, it fits tubing between five-eighths of an inch and one inch, and it does something this cannot do at any price. Come back if you also want the table covered.
It is. The aisle runs from $14.70 to $384.69, so it sits at the bottom of it, and ninety days covers being wrong about it.
Then the sliding is handled. This is about the other thing — a glass caught on the way past is standing on a base 5.2 inches across, so it has to lean a great deal further before it goes over.
It is a matte rubber base in twelve colours with no branding anybody can read across a room. The glass on top is your own.
Only where the surface is standing still, only for the glass already standing on it, and only ever as the half of the day that is not moving.
