Has anyone used this with tube like swing away armrests?

I don’t know that it would work well on a swing away because the (long) side that goes against the body may get caught on the wheel as it swings away. At least on the type of chair my Mom had, it would not have worked. It does slide off of the chair easily though, so it could be removed and the swing out used. Hope this helps.

Hi, will this fit over a flip up post armrest?

I don't have any idea how wide a lateral flip up armrest is so it is hard for me to answer the question. The fixed armrest on the wheelchair that we used this pillow for had an armrest that was about 3 inches wide. The pillow slipped over it nicely. The armrest pillow does take up some of the width of the chair as it sticks out several inches into the chair. I hope this helps.

Hi again! One more question: does a person's arm perspire when resting against it a long time? Thanks for your help!

My Mother's arm did not perspire, but she was elderly and very cold-natured. If someone was in a warm climate, etc., I can see how someone might perspire against the vinyl, but I think you could fold a cloth/small towel over the vinyl, and that would eliminate the problem. I was amazed by how much this helped my Mother to sit straighter and be more comfortable. It also reduced my concerns about her getting her hand/arm caught in the wheel.

Cover that fits? Anyone?

I had the same question a few years ago, myself. We would take the cover off and wash by hand in some "baby shampoo" and air dry. It also cleans pretty well when you scrub it with a disinfectant wipe. I would suggest that someone could sew a new cover, I almost attempted it myself, but the original one lasted for years through the hand washings. Maybe you could contact the manufacturer, look inside the cover, there is a tag with info, and see if you can order one. Best wishes.

AWESOME TRUNK SUPPORT FOR CERBRAL PALSY

My sisters wheelchair is very sophisticated however its missing TRUNK support for her torso so she's always leaning. We've put side pillows but she is always uncomfortable and still slumps over. We put in this arm rest and its life changing. She did great using her arm to help keep straight. We've needed this trunk support for about 15 years, so thanks!

Immediate Problem Solver

Where have I been? This solves many issues I have had with my 90 year old mother. She now sits upright, no leaning, soft and comfy elbow rest, looks good on the chair. Absolutely love it.

Comfortable

Is comfortable but could use maybe a little more sturdiness in the middle of the cushion.

Not What I Expected

Unfortunately, this product did not work the way I expected it to. I purchased this for my mother who started leaning to the right in her wheelchair. In the photo, this product looks very strong and sturdy when actually it is very soft. My mother was able to hang her arm over the armrest and went right back to leaning to the right. Also, the armrest of my mother's wheelchair is shorter than the product armrest and it didn't fit well over the armrest of her wheelchair. This product does not give any support and will not keep someone from leaning.

I took a chance and bought a second arm rest and I am glad I did they put in a denser foam and it is much more comfortable

Good idea but Poor execution.

The purpose of this item is good. Give more room on the thin arm rests, especially for someone like my mom who had a stroke and has a hard time holding her arm on the arm rest. This keeps her arm in place which is wonderful. My compaint is that the sides are waaaaaaaaay too thick. If you have two on, one on each side you lose about six inches of space inside the wheelchair. Which is fine if you have an oversized chair which mom does now but when her permanent chair comes, it is going to be a lot more narrow and won't likely have enough space for these, so I wasted $50. This product could be designed with the two sides being a a lot more thin and two shorts sides versus one long and one short.

It fit properly on XL wheelchair

The cover on the previous one had deteriorated faster than expected. I like that resting his paralyzed arm on it has stopped his shoulder pain.
