10 Winter Mobility Essentials from Our Branch Managers

10 Winter Mobility Essentials from Our Branch Managers

Now that we’re in the thick of winter and Christmas is on its way, we asked our mobility team to share their top product recommendations to help you stay warm, comfortable, and prepared for the colder months. You may even find the perfect Christmas gift for yourself or a loved one along the way. 

 

Maureen – Woodseats, Sheffield 

Maureen, Branch Manager of our Woodseats store in Sheffield, has chosen two products designed to add warmth and comfort to your winter. She recommends the Scooter Leg Cape, describing it as “a waterproof and windproof fur-lined leg cape that fastens around the waist—great if you’re out and about on your scooter in colder weather. It’s a universal size and drapes from your waist to your feet.” 

She also highlights our Bed Socks, noting that “these would make an ideal Christmas gift. They’re fur-lined and can be worn in bed or while relaxing in a chair, and they come in two size 4–6 and 7–11 and three colours: cream, pink, and blue.” 

 

Paula – Swadlincote, Derbyshire 

Paula, Store Supervisor at our Swadlincote branch, has chosen two Cosyfeet favourites. She says she “would always recommend a lovely pair of Cosyfeet slippers,” and although the Holly ladies’ slipper is a best-seller, she explains that she would “steer a lady towards the Dreamy slippers as they are just so cosy and warm.” For men, Paula’s top pick is the Richie slipper, which she calls her “firm favourite for a cosy, comfortable slipper.” 

Cosyfeet products make wonderful gifts—and throughout December, you’ll receive a free pair when you purchase a riser recliner in one of our stores. 

 

Jayne – Carlton, Nottingham 

Jayne, Branch Manager of our Carlton shop on Carlton Hill, recommends two products that are especially useful throughout the winter months. She praises the Scooter Cosy as “a waterproof and windproof winter addition to our scooter accessory range. Just place it on the seat of your scooter, zip it up, and drive off. The fur inner lining extends up the back to keep you as warm as possible during the cold winter months and combining it with the scooter poncho gives you full-body protection from wind and rain.” 

She also recommends the Leisure Trolley with Seat, explaining that “this shopping trolley comes with a seat so you can rest while out doing your Christmas shopping. It’s a 3-in-1 design that also works as a rollator. It’s lightweight but sturdy with large wheels for indoor and outdoor use, and it folds into a compact size for easy storage. I would recommend this shopping trolley as it makes outings safer and more enjoyable.” 

 

Rachel – Kings Mill Hospital, Mansfield 

Rachel, Store Supervisor at our Kings Mill Hospital shop, recommends the Able2 Heated Blanket, which she describes as “ideal for cosy nights in. The infrared technology helps improve circulation and relieve muscle pain, perfect for Christmas.”  

She also highlights the Drive Pedal Exerciser, saying it’s “ideal for when the weather turns, as you can still exercise in the comfort of your home. It improves cardiovascular fitness and stimulates circulation, and you can even track your distance and calories burned with the handy LED display.” 

It’s easy to adjust the resistance to suit the user, and it folds away neatly when not in use. 

 

Lynne – Ilkeston, Derbyshire 

Lynne, Branch Manager at our Ilkeston store, has selected two winter essentials. She recommends the Wheelchair Cosy, which she says is “guaranteed to keep you warm and cosy, as it is fur-lined and waterproof, ideal while someone pushes you around.” 

She also highlights the Stay-Warm Feeding Dish, explaining that it’s perfect for “keeping your dinner warmer for longer, simply fill the base with warm water and it keeps your meal warm on those chilly evenings.” 

 

As the temperatures drop and the festive season draws near, our teams across all branches are here to help you stay warm, comfortable, and confident throughout the winter months.  

Whether you’re looking for practical support, thoughtful gift ideas, or ways to make daily outings a little easier, these staff-recommended products offer comfort, warmth, and peace of mind.  

Visit us in store or online to explore the full range and find the perfect winter companion for yourself or someone you care about.
