Having tried various coccyx cushions,I was browsing looking for a one, when I came across this site. The first thing I liked about the design was the fact that it wasn't wedge-shaped, a definite plus in my opinion. As it was only shown in a blue cover, I telephoned the company and enquired if it was available in black. I also asked if it could be verified that it was indeed NOT wedge-shaped, and the lady I was speaking with replied, "Hang on a second, I'll have a look because I'm sitting on one!" Satisfied that it seemed to fit the bill I ordered one and within an hour received an email to say that the item had been dispatched. At 12 noon THE NEXT DAY the doorbell rang and it was the postman with my cushion. If that's not 1st class service I don't know what is, and finally it's definitely the best cushion I've tried to date. Thank you for your excellent product and your excellent service. Kind regards.

Super exceitd to see more of this kind of stuff online.

Strong, lightweight and versatile - my mother can move around the house on her own again.

A very good product that has helped my mother enjoy bathing again.

I replaced my Jay-2 cushion with the Jay-Lite in Nov 2010 and have been very pleased with it. The Jay-2 plastic covered fluid pad did generate a lot of heat under your backside and this has been eliminated with the Jay-Lite. The firmness of seating position is just as good as the Jay-2 too, so you'll notice no difference in your posture positioning. Of course, you might wish to have your physiotherapist's advice before purchasing, especially if you have sensitive skin. Luckily, I have not and have not had any skin related issues. The lightness of the cushion is a major advantage over the Jay-2. Is so light it would blow away in a strong wind if you dropped it getting in to the car. I use the Velcro strip that is supplied on it to secure it to the Kuschall Ultra-Lite chair I use. The cushion is a must for those with little strength to lift it in & out of a car. The air-vents through its seat base do keep you much cooler as does the special cushion cover that comes with it. The cover is specifically made for this cushion and is an additional expense should you need to have a regular spare.

I have been using a curved transfer board provided to me in the hospital when I was getting ready for returning home. My stay in hospital had lasted 15 weeks. I have had Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for more than 34 years and it has slowly but surely settled into Secondary Progressive MS. Before my stay in hospital I was able to transfer from seat to seat with ease by myself. I was able to walk a few steps a few times a day. In order to be able to return home, my only option was a curved sliding board because of my self-propelling wheelchair. I had to be trained to use the curved sliding board with assistance using a looped sliding sheet slightly pinched under the board by just one inch or two centimetres under me. I need to position the wheelchair at an angle less than 90 degrees between the bed chair and the bed so the transfer is short. The bed is close. The curve of the board fits around the wheel. It is flat. I feel safe! If I am transferring from wheelchair to another, I think it works better with the two seats placed at an angle of 90 degrees so both sets of wheels are in the inner curve AND the board is flat! Placing my hand on the board where I wish my bottom to be at the end of the transfer. I bend slightly forward and with feet on the ground I step sideways to the desired position. When the end with the pinched sliding sheet is visible I usually ask my assistant to release it. The joke is to say ?ǣgive me some gas???. Gaining a bit of speed provided by the looped sliding sheet I arrive safely without overtiring. My clothes and the floor are not covered in talcum powder that is used often instead of the looped sliding sheet. This is useful when a care assistant is timed by Social Services and Care Agencies to stay half an hour! I find it astonishing that care assistants are not trained using this method of transfer. It is difficult as a person receiving the service to show the safest way for the assistant to place the board under between the thigh and the body contoured pressure seat cushion. I have been given amazing explanations?ǪSome are adamant that the board should be used by me on my own! Some ignore the curve?Ǫsome place the curved board upside down?Ǫshowing the pads that are supposed to be underneath for the board to remain secure under the person using it! I wish I could meet the persons giving handling instructions! http://standup4ms.blogspot.com/ is where the whole story is. I wonder where I would be without my curved transfer board!

Having MS I seem to spend rather a lot of time sliding or falling to the floor. My main problem with this has been getting up again and this has always left me worn out. I bought the Elk cushion recently and I have to say it's been my best purchase ever. It is so easy to use and even with 2 completely useless legs I could get back into my chair. It also means that nobody else risks their back trying to get me up. When inflated the cushion is solid and very stable so I felt very sfe on it. Brilliant idea.

If you aren't able to bend easily and have trouble getting to your toes, this toe washer is brilliant. It's like having a fine-guage flannel (the white pad at the bottom) on a firm, long stick with a nice large easy-to-grip handle at the end. I bought one when my hip deteriorated so much that I could no longer reach my toes.

I have a Basket Weave Commode by my bed. It is extremely comfortable to use. I am a diabetic and need to get up at least twice per night. The commode aids sleep more easily and is safer than wandering around to the loo in the middle of the night. It is easy to keep clean and fits well in the bedroom. I am not old but with my condition it is essential. I have had it for 10 years. Jonathan Baker aged 50

excellent value, i used it for my daughter who is bed bound,i had tried dry shampoo but its not the same, so ordered this, it arrived with in a few days, very easy to use and my daughter is thinks its the best buy in the world

Contacted A.M.C. by phone. Staff were very helpful and arranged delivery on a day to suit me. The wheelchair arrived on the day as arranged . The description on the internet site was exactly correct. As I only took delivery today have not yet had chance to \'\'drive\'\' outdoors, but having tried indoors, I am looking forward to the rain to go so that I may have an outing outdoors The wheelchair is the Escape Lite model. Thanks again to the staff [ Tracy} for the help given. Yours sincerely K BAILEY

I have a Basketweave Commode Chair in my bedroom and is extremely comfortable to use at night. I am a diabetic treated by insulin and need to drink adequately to control the blood sugars. As a consequence I need to use this chair while in a sleepy state. The chair I feel fits in any room without any embarrassment to visitors and also doubles as a bed chair

Thankyou, this product is a must if you have difficulty getting in and out of cars. My mother has just had her second knee replacement op. If only we'd found your site 2yrs ago, she wouldn't of went through so much pain. Many thanks for giving my mother a better and more independant life back.

I have just bought my secondn 3 Wheeled storage cover. The first is still going but the rubber coating is beginning to deteriorate. My scooter lives outside 365 days a year 24/7. The cover has protected my scooter from snow through to torrential rain. It's only in the last month that the rubber coating has begun to deteriorate and let in some water. I've had just over 2 years from my first cover, not bad for ?25. Its brilliant so I just odered a new one. 'nuff said!!

I LOVE these - have had a few courtesy of my district nursing team/OTs over the years, and have found them just great. I like the option of being able to have it in two different positions, plus it's soft and smooth (unlike some other variants with metal/webbing). The only problems I've ever had are in getting a cover for them as they're an awkward size, and also that the foam on the ones I've had has, over time, deteriorated if it is left uncovered for a long time. But other than that, there's really no problem at all and I can happily recommend it to anyone looking for a soft easy manoeuvrable backrest.

I used this while in hospital recently because I have nerve entrapment in my arms/hands, and have to say it was really quite good. Did have a lot of problems though with the metal 'arm' bookmark idea - made it quite awkward to get pages held where it wasn't in the way at some point and needing shifted, which if you only had one hand to hold it, was extremely difficult. I think the holder is ok on its own perhaps, but I'd use a different type of bookmark with it to make it worthwhile investing in. :)

I currently have severe nerve entrapment in both arms causing loads of problems with my hands in particular for gripping things. I also have a bedroom with a nice new plush cream carpet, and I drink Coke. Put those two together and you can see where I might have some problems overnight!! Used to use a heavyweight glass (to make it less easily knocked over) but then discovered this (after first trying my OT's without success), and it's proving a lifesaver. Not only does it truly live up to its claims of no spill (more so if you don't use a straw with it as I have to), but it's just the right size too for a fizzy drink to not be able to put too much in and waste it overnight. HIGHLY recommended to anyone with hand issues whether pain or gripping problems. :-)

I bought one of these sticks some years ago and I don't know where. I could not go out without it. It is light weight, a GOOD seat height unlike so many others. It supports me walking and easily flips open when need to sit. People(elderly, disabled and tourists!) stop me in the street to ask where I bought it. I didn't know but now I can point them to your site. The only disadvantage to this tripod is that it can be easy to trip up passers by (but sometimes maybe that would be a good thing when people rush past and create an unsteadying vortex!) I highly recommend it.

I purchased this product directly from the Active Mobility Store in Scarborough. I'm very pleased with it as it supports my right wrist when doing my keyboarding skills at my workplace.
