  3. Great product

    Review by J. Appleby Posted on 21/11/2024

  4. Top Quality Product

    Review by Izzy H Posted on 21/11/2024
    This chair is fantastic. Everything about it is excellent: the design, the quality and the finish. I was so pleased to find a chair as narrow as this, the doorways in our house are narrow and I didn't think there would be one to fit. This chair is sturdy and stylish, it has given me exactly what I need. The speed of delivery and service from Essential Aids has also been faultless. I cannot recommend them or their products highly enough!

  5. Fantastic aid

  12. Beautiful design and sturdy

    Review by F. Holmes Posted on 19/11/2024
    Beautiful design with a sturdy handle. I love the little middle knob that you tighten once set to the right height. Stops the clack clack as you walk. Silence instead. Great price from a great company. Thank you

    Review by A. Beattie Posted on 19/11/2024
    Really good product for putting my tights on. I'm waiting for a hip replacement and can't bend down to put either tights or socks on. I would highly recommend this to other people who struggle putting their tights on.

  17. Indispensable tool for Independence

    Review by Susie B Posted on 19/11/2024
    I live alone in a bungalow. Found myself needing to use a walker after a knee operation. The above caddy allows me to move around putting things in the base ie laundry to be washed wet laundry to be hung . A meal easily transported when lid on, & the indispensable cuppa moved with ease when using the plastic insert. Thank you Chris Buckingham! 🌺

  21. Amefa left handed fork

    Review by P. Cadden Posted on 17/11/2024
    I was absolutely delighted to find this site online. I have used this cutlery for many years. The fork fits snugly in my hand, and is easy to use. This is a replacement, after my fork was accidentally broken. I would definitely recommend this company. Ordering was easy, and delivery prompt.

  22. Excellent Item

    Review by Marian Posted on 17/11/2024
    We had a white metal grab rail outside our back door that became very rusty. This time we purchased 2 grab rails for the back and front door . The rails are strong, antislip, with good grips and outer plastic covering to protect from rust. Very easy to install . Delivery service excellent.

  23. Lovely & comfortable cushion

    Review by M. Ellis Posted on 17/11/2024
    Lovely & comfortable cushion.

  24. Comfortable Cushion

    Review by Corruthers Posted on 16/11/2024
    Excellent cushion. Arrived quickly. Great purchase.

  25. Strong rail

    Review by Bella Posted on 16/11/2024
    Good strong rail ,only small thing thicker than I thought it would be. It would be 4 & half if I could .

  26. Stroke survivor liked these

    Review by E. Huczek Posted on 16/11/2024
    The cutlery looks well made and the thumb pads on the knife and fork were well appreciated. The only feedback from the user was that the spoon handle was a bit slippery when in use. I think that's because the hand grip strength following the stroke is really dimished. We can sort this. So, all in all, though, a good purchase.

  27. Very good quality

    Review by R. Silva Posted on 16/11/2024
    I am very happy with my order. It is a good quality and easy to use. Fully recommend.

  28. It certainly does the job!

    Review by H. Waterworth Posted on 15/11/2024
    It certainly does the job! I find it a bit high though. I am not an invalid, just have a painful sitz bone due to a horrendous fall last May. H. Waterworth.tr

  29. Very easy to use

    Review by M. Mcgowan Posted on 15/11/2024

  30. Nice drinking mug.

    Review by S. Garrard Posted on 14/11/2024
    I’ve had these mugs before. Nice and light to handle.

  31. Nice feeding cup

    Review by S. Garrard Posted on 14/11/2024
    Nice feeding cup, but rather heavy

  32. Handy cup

    Review by S. Garrard Posted on 14/11/2024
    Very happy with this drinking cup. Easy to drink from.

  33. Helping with Home Chores

    Review by G. Stenard Posted on 14/11/2024
    I found these online at a great price and once they arrived realized great quality. At our home we all use these gloved when doing cleaning and other home maintenance, as well as occasionally when cooking. Thank you.

  34. Very comfy!

    Review by TW Posted on 14/11/2024
    Adjustment straps a bit long and flappy but actual splint is the best fit I’ve found anywhere (and I’ve tried a lot!)

  35. Elbow crutches

    Review by S. Featherstone Posted on 14/11/2024
    These crutches came quickly which was needed. They are sturdy and very easy to adjust with arthritic hands. These were quite a bit cheaper than other makes, they adjust for body height and elbow height, some other makes have fixed elbow height. These also fully enclosed your arm above the elbow whereas some only have a back rest which means they are not as safe. A very well made and well priced product.

  36. Easily fitted

    Review by R. Barlow Posted on 13/11/2024
    Does the job it's made for. I am quite satisfied!

  37. Handy Table to have

    Review by Barbara Diggins Posted on 13/11/2024
    This table is ideal for temporary usage as it can be used for so many things and packed away when no longer needed

  41. Good phone for person with dementia

  45. Perfect socks

    Review by Y. LALLY Posted on 12/11/2024
    This is the second time I have bought these socks for my 97 yr old mother who has extreme oedema. They are super soft & stretch very wide & consequently easy to get on and off. Recommended.

  46. Great socks

    Review by J. Ward Posted on 12/11/2024
    Easy to put on, don't dig in on the leg

  47. The bag is great.

    Review by D. Cooper Posted on 12/11/2024
    The bag is really good. But it is much to big which is my fault because I ordered it before the scooter arrived.

  48. Flexyfoot stick

    Review by H. Horton Posted on 11/11/2024
    Good stick. Only downside is that it doesn’t fold. Handle fits my palm well.

  49. Great rollator replacement bag

    Review by P. Campbell Posted on 11/11/2024
    great rollator replacement bag. Perfct fit. Fast delivery, well packed and good price. Thank you. I recommend this seller.

  50. The orange bendy ankles make a big difference

    Review by D. Harrington Posted on 11/11/2024
    feel so steady with these ferrules on my crutches, they are very well made, and the orange bendy ankles make a big difference you can actually feel confident that they are grounded as it were. love them so will obviously be sticking with these from now on. Many thanks

    Arrived on time, easy to install and set up. Excellent product, would recommend.

  60. Comfortable and supportive

    Review by H. Slade Posted on 08/11/2024
    I have used a similar product in the past, as I have a habit of spraining my ankle. This time I actually fractured it and found these wraps on-line as my old ones are really past their best. This is slightly different as it has a fixed loop around the foot which I thought might be awkward, but I managed OK. very comfortable and supportive without being bulky.

  61. Sturdy

    Review by M. Cox Posted on 07/11/2024
    These are handy little steps.

  62. Very quick delivery item as described

  64. No bathroom upstairs

    Review by C. Jones Posted on 06/11/2024
    This was bought because my daughter’s house has no bathroom upstairs. It was easy to fold away during the day, taking up very little space to store.

  65. Bed wedge

    Review by A. Derrick Posted on 06/11/2024

  67. Safety

    Review by A. DUNKLEY Posted on 06/11/2024
    I purchased the personal alarm as I was involved in a frightening incident recently and safety has become a major concern hence my purchase I hope this product will help to keep me safe in future.

  68. Out door grab rail

    Review by Bill Posted on 05/11/2024
    Needed for brick wall by back door (vertical fixing). We’re all getting older! Haven’t put up yet as waiting for screws and plugs (ordered elsewhere). Slightly surprising they only have 2 screw holes per fixing point whereas bathroom grab rails have 5.

  69. Bed lifters

    Review by M. Bishop Posted on 05/11/2024
    Brought to raise our convertible day bed. They look good, are robust and should do a good job.

  70. Neat stickholder solution

    Review by Andrew B Posted on 05/11/2024
    Easy to fit, particularly with the two-screw clamps. Holds an NHS stick well.

  71. Good Quality Half Step

    Review by J.D. Posted on 05/11/2024
    This product is a good quality half step primarily for outdoor use to reduce the step height of exiting door thresholds. It has a sturdy corrosion free plastic design and construction with an anti-slip rubber top mat. The step is easy to assemble with adjustable feet. The product supplied was an all black design rather than the grey and black shown in the photo.

  72. It all helps

    Review by K. Hetherington Posted on 05/11/2024
    A little difficult to see water level gauge. Getting to judge it correctly now!

  73. Great value

    Review by S. Lester Posted on 05/11/2024
    This is a simple but very sturdy commode. Ideal for our needs with an elderly parent.

  74. Trolley

  75. Step two bath step

    Review by j. penny Posted on 04/11/2024
    Bought this for my elderly mobility impinged mother - quick delivery. Product excellent and great value

  76. Excellent buy

    Review by j. cole Posted on 04/11/2024
    I had some equipment from the NHS after a month in hospital but did not feel confident in the night time bathroom trips without some support. This is just the job, easy to put together and provides support and balance when needed. It is next to the shower so acts as a balancer whilst drying toes! Excellent price and service. Will return to this company if I need further items.

  77. Great product

    Review by C. Angele Posted on 04/11/2024
    Great product, comfortable and easy to use. Fits my toilet perfectly (UK) without sliding around. No fiddly clips, just place on and take off. Highly recommended. I am purchasing a second one.

  78. Very useful

    Review by Joy Moore Posted on 04/11/2024
    Perfectly made with options for chair or bed. Does exactly what is promised as long as someone has the stamina to lift heavy furniture.

  79. Bed fleece

    Review by A. Spacey Posted on 03/11/2024

    Helps me use a normal toilet.

  83. Good Grip eating utensils

    Review by RingwoodG Posted on 03/11/2024
    Having already purchased the Good Grip serrated knife for my 102 year old mother, with arthritis and poor grip in her hands, she decided that it would be beneficial to buy the fork and spoon. These have all been a great help to her and would recommend these products which are great aids.

  84. A great step

    Review by krissi Posted on 02/11/2024
    Thankfully bought a very study and well made product that I have confidence in in stepping onto . Previously bought cheap step form other retailers that gave way and failed. As they say you get what you pay for and I.m glad I paid for this step.

  85. Light weight foldable shower stool

    Review by A. Westley Posted on 02/11/2024
    I’m really happy with this stool. It’s lightweight so easy to rinse off any soap suds preventing buildup of soap scum. Folds easy so it can be removed when others use the shower. Since having my wet room I’ve tried 3 others stools and this one is by far the best

  86. Does the job

    Review by K. M. Posted on 02/11/2024
    Adjustable and ensures a stable fit across the bath which is reassuring for the user

  87. This does the job it was designed

    Review by D. Borthwick Posted on 02/11/2024
    This does the job it was designed for and saves a lot of struggling and especially, strain on the lower back

  88. Scissors

    Review by d. king Posted on 02/11/2024
    Handy scissors, angle makes it easier to cut toe nails. only used once so far but they cut thick nails no problem.Good for the price

  89. Already have 3 but come back for 3 more

    Review by M. Kirwan Posted on 02/11/2024
    Already have 3 but come back for 3 more as the black extra grips give great additional purchase even when wet, making me feel safer, thanks very much Essential Aids!!

  91. great product best price

    Review by m. sheikh Posted on 31/10/2024
    Female urinals , disposable for my mum who's a dialysis patient with 2 broken femurs and both broken hips. these are a life saver for passing urine and bowel movement.

  92. Excellent Service

    Review by D. Byrne Posted on 31/10/2024
    Excellent Service. Thank you

  93. Walking aids

    Review by H. Keen Posted on 30/10/2024
    I think these will take time to get used to. It’s case to getting used to taking the weight in your elbows rather than your hands. I have arthritic hands so I really need this design. I’m still practicing. Am quite tall. I think a shorter person would find them easier.

  94. Arrived very quickly and helped me enormously

    Review by B. DAY Posted on 30/10/2024
    I ordered these as I was struggling to walk owing to sciatica. Arrived very quickly and helped me enormously So happy that I found there are people that care and also make it less of a financial worry Thankyou very much I have told all my family and friends

  95. Chair for my mum

    Review by G. Scott Posted on 30/10/2024

  96. Very useful

    Review by M. Roberts Posted on 29/10/2024
    Bought this step for help into the shower it's replaced my old one. Good and sturdy item. Pleased with my purchase.

  97. Great aid for leg lifting

    Review by J. Bell Posted on 29/10/2024
    This product has an ingenuos design; made of a good and sturdy material that can withstand heavy use. I bought it for my mother who had a hip replacement and also suffers from extremely swollen legs. She uses it on a daily basis and cannot live without it.

  98. Joyous.

    Review by D. Watson Posted on 29/10/2024
    Such a joy to be able to put socks on and with ease.

  99. Turn cushion

    Review by D. Westwood Posted on 29/10/2024
    Brilliant cushion dies exactly what it says but must be in a flat chair not very good in bucket car seats

  100. Light, comfortable and warm

    Review by P. Kelley Posted on 29/10/2024
    I bought these bed socks for my cousin who is 95. She is mostly confined to bed but can be hoisted into a reclining chair which is when the bed socks are ideal. Light, comfortable and warm the velcro fastenings mean they stay in place without applying pressure.
