  • delivery to UK price soared. Typical US they do everything financial in a cackhanded fashion, so they ship to a mythical US address set up by the delivery service that they work with, who can process international payments. First they price then in GBP at almost the same figure as dollars, then they add shipment, then tax and it comes out to about GBP 2,650. I do not know if we could then reclaim the tax.

  • German vendor referred from manuf.: 3,990 EUR + 19% MWST, I didnt even bother enquiring if MWST not payable for disabled, as per UK appliances.

• Inflatables

• • Inflatable bed, best quality non slip, with electric pump, about GBP 45 - Buy 2 to get the height. The pumps aren't designed to pump the bed up with a human laying on it, so it will be harder work, & pump may burn out. Periodically turn off the pump to let it cool down! Thats another advantage of 2 pump up beds, stacked, hopefully both pumps wont burn out during the same lifting session.
  • One can get inflatable armchairs, but I suspect hard to align to the fallen over person, & even when inflated, still hard to pull person up out of chair ?
