Pink fleece blanket with two large pockets that attaches to the back of a wheelchair and secures around the user’s legs with snag-free Velcro.
I have been using my NiCosy Wheelchair Blanket for over a year now and still love it just as much as when I first got it! I have lost count of how many blankets I have bought over the years, yet I have never found one that ticks so many boxes. Some of my preferences include:
– Keeping the front and back of my legs warm.
– Suitable for use all year round.
– Quick and easy to put on and take off.
– Doesn’t get caught in my wheels.
– Requires little strength and dexterity to use.
– Can be machine washed without damaging the quality.
– Small enough to fit into my backpack when not in use.
When using a NiCosy, you don’t need to worry about it slipping down or getting trapped in your wheels, as the blanket fastens to the back of your chair with a strong buckle and wraps around your legs with snag-free Velcro. The sleek design doesn’t restrict your ability toh is especially beneficial for people with muscle spasms and poor circulation. Additionally, it is made from a single sheet of hand-cut polar fleece fabric, featuring two large pockets that offer users the perfect amount of comfort all year round. You can also fit the blanket underneath an additional wheelchair cosy if needed, which is useful in colder and wetter weather. Although you can now custom order a NiCosy Wheelchair Blanket with a waterproof liner on top!
I ordered my custom blanket at Naidex 2019, choosing the colour, size, and waterproof liner. It was shipped a few weeks later. However, you can now order both the custom and standard-sized blankets on the NiCosy website. Both of these options come in a variety of colours and patterns (I believe there are now over 70 options to choose from), which I really appreciate since most disability-related products only come in black or beige. Each blanket also includes an additional extension strap, allowing you to secure your NiCosy to other pieces of equipment or furniture you might use. I have been known to use mine in the car, on an aeroplane, or during a hospital admission!
For these reasons, I highly recommend the NiCosy to anyone looking for an easy to use, versatile, and high-quality wheelchair blanket. It also offers excellent value for money. Best of all, it is compatible with most manual wheelchairs, powerchairs, mobility scooters, and many other standard seats!
