Perfect size for my armchair and covered in zipped leatherette cloth.

Ordered this because the width was 45cm which was a perfect fit for my armchair, most standard sizes are 50cm square. It's 10cm elevation is only a couple of cms in reality because of it squashes when compressed. Satisfied with my purchase.

Am delighted with my purchase

Am delighted with my purchase. However I do feel it is larger than I realised and wish I could find a smaller compact equivalent Sincerely Ms Victoria Fourie

Slipped bedpan

I purchased the slipper pan for my Mother who has dementia. I cannot comment on how effective it is as we have not had occasion to use it. We have the reassurance of having it available should she once again be unable to get out of bed to use the commode. The pan arrived very quickly thank you.

Good kettle and easy to use

This quite a large kettle because of the cradle which holds it. It is easy to use but I cannot rate it as outstanding as I find it almost impossible to read the water level marks. The manufacturer should bear in mind that this kettle is attractive in particular to the elderly, many of whom have problems with their eyesight.

Decent product

Overall quality is good. I was hoping it would give me a lift to get upvas i have mobility issues. Doesn't help too much

Good value

Bought this table for bedridden father. Good value for price. It is very easy to put together and looks good when built. It is just the right size for small bedroom. Only gripe is that it is a bit wobbly and we had to put piece of wood under the casters to steady it but it seems to have done the job and my dad is happy with it

Helpful for the smaller legged person

A neighbour recommended this device to me. I have tried it but found the opening for putting foot in quite narrow and am not sure it will be beneficial for me

Good foldable space saving toilet frame

I find to be a v unique toilet frame so decided to get it, after checking the measurements etc. Unfortunately I didn't get around to using it as it has a bend to the frame at the back which doesn't fit our toilet lid width at that point. These measurements are not on the website. Otherwise it looks solid, I love the idea of saving space in the bathroom which can be accessed by anyone, put to the side when guests, children are around. It is such a unique item, I just wish I could have kept it. I had to return it as soon as we saw the problem. (The frame itself is designed with the bend in the back rod, it wasn't damaged).

Sturdy product just not right for my need

This is a nice semi rigid neck brace if you need support and the front and freedom at the back of your head. Unfortunately for me I need it a little more balanced support so have returned it. It is quite adjustable as there are 2 layers connected by Velcro so you can make the width bigger or smaller (I purchased the smallest size). The customer service has been brilliant and I will definitely shop here again.

Great wheelchair, Terrible courier

The Wheelchair arrived within 48 hours of ordering which is great service, the wheelchair itself is of good quality and at a good price compared with competitors. I arrived home after a couple of hours out to find the wheelchair in its box on the front door step. Anyone passing could have taken it. I am not sure which courier was used but this is not acceptable. Reply from Essential Aids: Please accept our sincere apologies - we have taken this up with the courier concerned and they have assured us that it is a one-off and won't be happening again.

Good

I would rate the inflatable rubber ring at probably 3. With hindsight I would probably have been better with the memory foam type ring though this partly did the job.
