Wheelchair Fleece Seat Cover

Wheelchair users are often faced with the problem of pressure sores, which tend to occur after long periods of being seated. These are not only painful, but can be very expensive to treat, so it's best to try and prevent them in the first place. The Wheelchair Fleece Seat Cover is perfect for those who have to stay seated for long periods, as the wool pile provides comfort and, most importantly, prevents the user's skin from incurring the conditions that cause pressure sores.

What Are Pressure Sores?

Pressure sores are areas of damaged skin caused by staying in one position for too long. They often form on the bony extremities of the body, such as ankles, spine, elbows, heels and hips. The people most at risk are those who cannot change position from their bed or chair every two hours or so.

What is This Fleece Made From?

This comfortable fleece is made out of wool pile fleece. This provides plenty of softness, and allows it to retain its comfort wash after wash.

Features of the Wheelchair Fleece Seat Cover

• Cool and breathable, keeping skin dry and ventilated 
• Soft wool pile that distributes pressure evenly
• Easy to secure onto any wheelchair using the strong fabric ties
• Can be washed up to 50 times and still provide softness and comfort

Soft and Breathable

The Wheelchair Fleece Seat cover not only distributes pressure evenly, but also allows the skin breathe more effectively. This is essential for pressure area care, as the skin needs regular exposure to oxygen. The fleece is machine washable, flame retardant for extra security, and a gentle touch to prevent friction burns from abrasion.

Can it Be Tumble Dried?

No, this fleece should be air dried.
