Hospital Wool Fleece for Wheelchair 18x36"
Our uncle who lives in memory care was envious of his neighbor's wool fleece on a chair. Our uncle sits in his wheelchair most of the time so I was happy to find this fleece made specially for wheelchairs. Fits his chair nicely and keeps him warm and cozy. He loves it! We were wary due to incontinence (leaking) issues, so we bought a second fleece that we could launder when one is soiled. They wash up nicely in the washing machine. Thank you for making a product specifically for our friends and relatives who use wheelchairs!
