Stay Warm, Dry and Comfortable this Winter: Why Our Wheelchair Cosies Are a Game-Changer

Winter Comfort Starts Here!

A man is pushing an older man in a wheelchair along a snowy winter park path. The man in the wheelchair isn't wearing a wheelchair leg cosy and looks very cold.

When the temperature drops, staying warm in a wheelchair can be a real challenge. Cold legs, damp clothing and icy winds can quickly turn an outing into an uncomfortable experience – not only for wheelchair users, but also for carers and family members who want to make sure their loved one stays warm, safe and protected.

A carer is pushing a smiling woman in a wheelchair through a snowy winter park. The woman in the wheelchair is wearing a purple leg cosy and looks content and warm.

That’s where our Wheelchair Cosy makes an immediate difference.

Three wheelchair users wearing colourful wheelchair leg cosies enjoy a cheerful winter walk with friends along a frosty park path. All of the people in the wheelchairs look content and warm.

This mobility product is one of the warmest, most practical and most affordable winter mobility essentials we’ve ever stocked at Ability Superstore. Available in four colours and different sizes, it provides total lower-body warmth, full weather protection and outstanding everyday comfort.

Whether you’re buying for yourself, for someone you care for, or choosing a thoughtful Christmas present for a wheelchair user, this cosy is a brilliant investment in warmth and wellbeing.

Why Staying Warm in a Wheelchair Matters

Wheelchair users often feel the cold more quickly because there’s less natural movement to generate heat – especially in the legs. Once the cold sets in, it’s hard to shake off.

A high-quality wheelchair leg cosy offers…
• All-day warmth and insulation.
• Protection from wind, rain and splashes.
• Support for circulation by keeping legs at a stable temperature.
• Extra comfort for people with reduced mobility, or joint stiffness.
• Peace of mind for carers and loved ones.

If you’re searching for winter mobility products, wheelchair clothing, or ways to stay warm in a wheelchair, this cosy is one of the most effective and affordable solutions.

Four Stylish Colours

For years, wheelchair leg cosies were only available in plain navy. Practical, but unexciting. In addition to navy, we’re excited to now introduce three new modern and uplifting colours…

Three wheelchair users are wearing colourful wheelchair leg cosies (the colours are graphite, pink and purple) and are enjoying a festive Christmas market with friends on a cold winter day. All of the people in the wheelchairs look content and warm.

• Vibrant Purple – rich, warm and eye-catching.
• Graphite Grey – sleek, smart and understated.
• Striking Pink – bright, bold and cheerful.

These colour choices make it easy to express personality, coordinate with other mobility accessories, or pick a shade that feels perfect for gifting.

Clever Design Details That Make a Huge Difference

This cosy is more than just warm – it’s beautifully engineered for everyday life…

• Waterproof outer layer – shields from rain, splashes and unpredictable weather.
• Soft white fleece lining – feels wonderfully warm, soft and gentle on the skin.
• Full-length zip with easy-pull cord – users can pull the zip up independently using the cord – ideal for boosting confidence and independence.
• Handy waterproof interior pocket – perfect for keeping your mobile phone, tissues, keys, or purse dry and secure.
• Elasticated back loops – slip over the wheelchair handles to keep the cosy firmly in place – no twisting, or slipping.
• Reinforced foot section – wipe-clean, durable and designed to prevent scuffing from shoes, or footplates.

All of these features make the cosy incredibly practical for both everyday wheelchair users and the people who support them.
