Where to buy Wheelchairs in Southport?

There are a number of places to purchase wheelchairs nowadays, here at B&M Supplies we feel we have the widest selection to suit a variety of needs and the customer service to guide you on purchasing the right wheelchair for you.

Situated in Birkdale Southport we have onsite parking and a specified area to try and test your new wheelchair. To help you choose the right type of chair its worth considering the 3 basic types available.

If at any time you require any assistance on renting or purchasing a new wheelchair, please don't hesitate to contact us on 01704 553 773. 

Attendant Wheelchair Propelled Wheelchair

Attendant Wheelchair


You can easily spot an attendant chair due to the characteristic small wheels on the chair, this chair is design to be pushed by an attendant or 2nd person and is designed for people who are unable to propel themselves in a big wheeled chair.

Available in steel which is very affordable or aluminium which is more expensive but stronger and very light,.
There are also a number of optional extras available including locking brakes and removable footplates for easy storage.

It may be worth considering the where the chair is to be used before choosing the right chair as a steel chair will be an advantage if the chair is to be left at a house or onsite somewhere where as a lighter aluminium is a much better option for traveling and folding into a car boot.

If you require any help or advice on Attendant wheelchairs call 01704 553 773 and we will be happy you

Self Propelled Wheelchair


Self propelled chairs are a little bigger and are designed so that the user is able to maneuver themselves easier using the hand grips on the wheels.

There are many different options when choosing a chair like this, for example a chair that is intended for rugid out door use is very different in design to a chair that is used in a hospital or nursing home.

The most common types of materials that these chairs are made from are steel and aluminum however top end wheelchairs such as sports wheelchairs can be made of materials such as carbon fibre to keep the chair light as possible.

We have a number of self propelled wheelchairs at our mobility shop in Southport so if you are thinking of buying a new one, or its your first time buying and need a little advice call 01704 553 773 or why not pop in and let our experts help you choose the right item for you

Electric Wheelchair or Power Chair 

Electric wheelchairs have become more and more popular over the years due to a few reasons, firstly the chairs have gotten smaller, easier to transport so the chairs to be collapsed into smaller pieces.The price has come down considerably allowing the average consumer to now buy these items.

As with self propelled wheelchairs there are a few types of power chair available, some chairs have modifications specific to the clients needs, in this case a specialist will prescribe the type of chair available however for the average consumer powerchairs are similar to the one pictured here.

Electric wheelchairs use the same sort of mechanics that are found in mobility scooters and can be easily maintained and controlled, to find out more about powerchairs feel free to pop in and see us.

Woburn Electric Profiling Bed Maintenance

Woburn Bed
We are able to repair and maintain most manufactures of profiling and trend beds however as we are a main distributor for Harvest Healthcare we are able to gain access to a whole range of parts and spares next day, this means that you are never without the bed for too long during a breakdown.

Do you need help or advice on a repair of this type of bed? 
Call 01704 553 773 and we will be happy to help.

The design of a Woburn bed has allowed the bed to be easily maintained and any working parts that can fail are attached in such a way that these are easily replaced.


The bed itself has 4 linear actuators that drive the bed:

  • The head actuator
  • The foot actuator 
  • Back rest actuator
  • Leg rest actuator 
These actuator or pistons are driven by a central control box and handset. all of these parts can be replaced easily and can often fail if the bed has been used excessively or damage occurs, for example. We quite often find that sometimes a failure is caused by a patient hoist that has caught the wires underneath.

For prices on parts and spares or advice on our service contacts please call us on 01704 553 773

Roma Medical Release Product Videos to Complement the Range

Roma Medical how have long been suppliers of mobility products have started to release a number of videos  via youtube of their complete product range.

There are only a few products with videos at the moment however they do intend to cover the entire range. This is a good example of how business and manufacturers are starting to embrace different social media in a way to reach new client, it also allows potential customers to see these products working from the comfort of their own home.

For example if we look at the Sirocco product video, the main features of this can be clearly seen and we are given a full demonstration of how to dismantle and fold the unit up for storage and transport.


Roma's most recent mobility scooter also gets the video treatment and quite rightly so, the biggest feature of the "vegas" is that it is collapsible into several parts and is easy to be transported as it fits easy into the boot of the average car. 

This scooter has also been very popular with customers looking to take a scooter on holiday and is available in a number of stunning colours


To view our full range of mobility scooters pop into our Southport Mobility Showroom or visit www.bmsupplies.co.uk

Also you can find all of Roma's product videos by visiting their youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/romamedicalaids

Maternity Bed Mats

Since the introduction of baby and child nappies into our product range I've found that there are a lot of products that are very similar to other products but just packaged differently.

for example, Tesco offer a pack of maternity bed mats for £3.20, these mats come in a pack of 5 and they work to protect a mattress in there own words the products are described as follows:
Tesco Maternity Bed mats
"These soft and absorbent versatile Tesco maternity bed mats are designed for use in the later stages of pregnancy, labour and after childbirth. In the late stages of pregnancy, you can place one underneath your bed linen to protect your mattress in case your waters break during the night. A mat could also be used to protect your car seat should your waters break whilst traveling. If you are considering a home birth, the mats can also be used to protect your mattress during labour. But that’s not all! After your baby is born, the mat can be used to protect your bed linen from excess breast milk during the night as well as any post natal blood loss."

To be honest Maternity bed mats are essentially bed protectors that are used during stages of pregnancy, these mats have 101 uses, in fact I think I blogged a while ago about the uses in toilet training animals. I have also known these items to be used by some of my arty friends when painting with the kids as they.

Bed protectors can also be called inco sheets, conti sheets, bed pads and we currently sell these items in 2 different sizes 60cm x 60cm or 60cm x 90cm.

In comparison you can usually pick up these types of items a lot cheaper for the amount you get:

Sabanindas Bed Pad - 60 x 60 - Packets of 28 - £4.99

Sabanindas Bed Pad - 60 x 90 - Packets of 28 - £6.29

Lille Bed Protectors - 60 x 60 - Packets of 35 - £7.16

Lille Bed Protectors - 60 x 90 - Packets of 35 - -£12.00

Tips for Converting an Existing Bathroom into a Disabled Friendly Bathroom



As a result of raising costs and the availability of care products via the internet a lot of people are making the decision to care for the elderly and loved ones at home.
Making sure the home is ready for this is usually the first step and people tend to turn their attention the bathroom.

There are literally tons of various equipment that is available and obviously a lot of this is dependent on the user however there are some steps that can help you.

Widen doorways by using of set hinges, this should allow greater access for wheelchair users and be mindful of obstacles such as cabinets and where the toilet and bath is placed. 
Attaching grab rails on key areas of the bathroom will help add stability and can be spaced as above. 

For long term use and extra stability ensure these are affixed to the wall rather than using grab rails with suckers as these will stay secure over time.One advantage to using the suction grab rails is that they can be moved and taken away holiday if needed.

Grab Rail Screwed to the Wall

Grab Rail with Suction Caps

Use a large shower mat, these are great for gripping in a shower or bath and when coupled with using grab rails they really help a user stay stable.

Adding a shower chair or bench can allow users to sit rather than stand in a shower and can be used so a person can lower themselves into a bath.

Raised toilet seat or toilet frame can assist people in lowering themselves onto a toilet, some can be secured to the floor however there are a few items that are portable and can be moved around the house. This can be particularly useful for houses with 2 or more bathrooms or a number of people who require extra support.

For a full selection of bathroom and toileting aids, why not visit our online mobility store or call 01704 553 773 for further details.

Pressure Care Alternating Mattress




We have been slowly growing our website to include a number of mobility and medical related products.
In particular we have started to display a range of pressure relieving mattresses for people who are at a high risk of pressure sores.
There are two types of mattress available, memory foam or alternating mattress both will work very well however nursing and care facilities tend to lean towards using a mattress system as they can be maintained and set depending on the type of client who is using them.

Alternating Mattresses

An alternating mattress can be known as a few several names:
  • Alternating Mattress System
  • Air Flow Mattress
  • Pressure Therapy Mattress
  • Air Mattress System
  • Pressure Care System

An alternating system works by inflating cells underneath a client in alternating fashion so that the pressure of someone lying in bed.

The rate that these mattresses alternate is set via an attached pump/ motor that controls the rate of air flowing through the mattress. These pumps will differ depending on the weight of the patient or how at risk the patient is of contracting pressure sores.

To find out which mattress to use a specialist will carry out a risk assessment on patient which is scored using the waterlow score, this assesses the patients age, medical condition and other factors.
The air mattress is chosen based on this scale.

Air Mattresses for Low Risk Patients.




For patients at a low risk of pressure sores can use a foam mattress or a bubble system as pictured above, although this system has limited therapy and can be classed as a comfort product it will add extra comfort for patients who are not bed bound.

Air Mattresses for Medium to High Risk Patients

http://www.bmsupplies.co.uk/Pressure-Relief-Products/Active-Air-Flow-Mattress/harvest-opal-pressure-relief-alternating-overlay-mattress-system
These mattresses are slightly more robust and are used for most patients in a care or nursing home, the mattress pictured above has large cells that alternate and is classed as an overlay mattress so it can be placed on top of an existing mattress. by placing an overlay mattress over a foam underlay increases the type of therapy applied.

You tend to find that for patients that are at a greater risk of contracting pressure sores a full replacement mattress is required, these systems include 2 types of therapy, Air Cell Alternation and added foam for extra pressure relief. there are also many pumps available to suit. 

Air Mattresses for High Risk Patients

High risk mattress are also very robust and offer great control over the entire system via the pump, in some instances the mattresses offer patient rotation, this means the mattress will alternate and deflate on one side slowly to rotate the patient eliminating the need for nursing during the night.

These mattresses tend to be for bed ridden patients who are required to spend extended periods of time in bed.

We currently have our full selection of air flow mattress on our website however if you require any help or advice on choosing the right equipment, please don't hesitate to contact us on  01704 553 773 or email enquiries to orders@bmsupplies.co.uk
