Skil-Care Wheelchair Armrest Cushions Extended
Skil-Care Wheelchair Armrest Cushions — Extended Full Arm or Half Arm
A Soft Layer Between the Arm and the Metal
Open-arm wheelchairs leave the metal armrest frame exposed, and hours of contact against it adds up. The Skil-Care Wheelchair Armrest Cushion wraps that frame in ample foam padding, creating a soft barrier that helps guard against bumps, bruises, and cuts from the bare metal underneath — a simple comfort upgrade for anyone spending extended time in the chair.
The durable nylon cover wipes clean easily and resists fluid absorption, and Velcro® fasteners make installation quick — no tools, no permanent attachment. These extended-length cushions fit most standard wheelchairs with open arms, available in a 22" Extended Full Arm length or an 18" Extended Half Arm length for added coverage beyond the standard sizes.

Equipment Specialist Insight: Full arm or half arm comes down to how much of the armrest frame is actually exposed on your chair — open-arm wheelchairs vary in how much bare metal runs along the top and sides, so measure the exposed length before ordering rather than guessing from the chair style alone. These are the extended lengths, meaning more coverage than Skil-Care's standard armrest cushions — the right call whenever the arm is unusually long or the person's arm position varies through the day. Velcro installation means these are easy to remove for cleaning or chair adjustments and just as easy to put back. Wipe the nylon cover clean regularly and check the Velcro's grip periodically, since worn fasteners are the most common reason a cushion needs replacing before the foam does.

Q: Full arm or half arm — which do I need?
A: It depends on how much of your wheelchair's armrest frame is exposed. Measure the length of bare metal along the armrest and match it to the closest cushion length — 22" for a full-length open arm, 18" for a shorter half-arm design. When between sizes, the longer option gives more complete coverage.
Q: How does it attach?
A: Velcro® fasteners wrap the cushion around the armrest frame — no tools and no permanent hardware. That makes it simple to remove for cleaning, chair adjustments, or swapping between chairs, and just as simple to put back on.
Q: How do I clean it?
A: Wipe the nylon cover with a damp cloth and mild cleanser and let it dry — the fabric resists fluid absorption, so spills wipe up rather than soak in. Don't submerge the cushion. Check the Velcro fasteners periodically for wear.
