Wheelchair Seat Fleece Covers
Using a wheelchair or mobility scooter regularly means sitting down for prolonged periods, putting the user at risk of developing pressure sores and other conditions that manifest in sedentary individuals. Made from 100% pure new wool, Wheelchair Seat Fleece Covers provide comfort and most importantly prevent the user's skin from incurring the usual conditions that cause pressure sores.
Wheelchair Seat Covers are available as a Seat Cover or a Seat and Back Cover, and can be used on both wheelchairs and scooters.

How Does a Wheelchair Seat Fleece Attach to My Wheelchair?
Wheelchair Seat Fleeces use a "wraparound" style attachment fastening to keep the fleece in place and prevent slippage and movement. The fleece fastens at the back of the chair, just below the push handles, allowing for easy adjustment if required.
Is the Wheelchair Seat Fleece Suitable for Any Wheelchair Cushion and Platform?
Provided the dimensions are correct, your Seat Fleece can be used with any style or type of cushion underneath. Designed to provide a soft and plush cover for your wheelchair cushion, the Seat Fleece can be purchased to cover either the back or the platform depending on your requirements.
Which Conditions Can a Seat Fleece Help Treat?
- Assessed as vulnerable to pressure sores
- Balance problems
- Circulation issues
- Dead legs
- Discomfort
- Fatigued when seated for long periods
- Stability issues
Does the Wheelchair Seat Fleece Have a Pressure Relief Rating?
Whilst the Wheelchair Seat Fleece does not have a pressure relief rating, it can help repel the development of sores. If you are assessed as being at risk of developing pressure sores, the soft 100% wool fleece acts as a soft and plush cushion cover that will prevent rubbing and aggravation in areas where sores tend to build up.
