*Note, some manual wheelchairs have a high back, so you may wish to select the electric version.
The ableDry has been designed with damp wheelchair cushions and arm rests in mind. There is nothing more annoying than a damp wheelchair cushion or arm rest. Particularly after a swim or for those who have to manage incontinence. The ableDry has been re-designed with additional layers of absorption, and longer lasting material. We have ableDry’s for powered and manual wheelchairs in mind with our high and low back versions. The flaps can also be used to cover over your legs once in your wheelchair for those who may want that extra little bit of dignity. A fantastic addition to your locker and a must particularly if you’re going on holiday. Works fantastically well in conjunction with our ableSling Lite if using it to transfer in and out of the pool.
The most common Child sizes are Small and Medium. The most common Adult sizes are Large and X-Large.

Our Low Back manual version of our ableDry (wheelchair cover) will be the best option for a child.
Absolutely yes – we know from feedback from customers that the ableSling and ableSling Lite can be used for a whole variety of activities such as getting into a beach wheelchair buggy, getting onto a pool hoist with or without the use of a hoist, getting in and out of vehicles, helping get onto a boat, accessing a hot air-balloon, helicopter and so much more. The possibilities are limitless! The ableSling Lite is very good for water based activities as it is able to dry very quickly due to the design and less material than other similar products.
Yes, if your wheelchair cushion is less than 3″ thick, falls within the width and length measurements of the ableSeat size you have selected, and has a soft base (so the cushion is flexible).
Please note – If you plan to fly with your ableSeat and the wheelchair cushion you are inserting has a firm base (not flexible), we advise you to check with the airline what the aisle width of the aircraft is in which you are travelling, prior to travel. If the aisle width is only 17″ wide and your cushion is 18″ wide with a firm base, you will not be able to go down the aisle on the aisle chair.
*Cushion space – this is max space for the insert of a cushion inside the ableSling
**Cushion thickness – this is max thickness of a cushion that will fit inside the ableSling
