NiCosy Wheelchair Blankets are made from a single sheet of hand-cut polar fleece, in a wide variety of colours and prints. You can opt to have an additional ‘soft shell’ waterproof layer if you are looking for a blanket that would be suitable for all weather conditions, but this is currently only available in over 70 colour/pattern combinations. Either way, you can purchase your own made to measure blanket via the NiCosy website, or order one of their standard-sized blankets, both of which are designed to attach to most wheelchairs with ease!
Upon speaking to the Managing Director Jane, she was kind enough to provide me with the following statement to provide further information about their products:
“The bottom of each blanket is left open as per the polar fleece so that people using mobility scooters can feel the platform, and of course, the snag-free Velcro seam makes it easy for people of all abilities to get in and out. Each Nicosy comes with an extra extendable strap so that it can be attached to different seats and not just a wheelchair. It can be used in a car, on an armchair, or even a recliner. They are also machine washable at a low temperature and are reasonably priced, which isn't too bad considering it will keep you warm for years to come.”
