Anyone who spends a long time in a wheelchair or on a mobility scooter can get cold legs and feet more quickly. A good blanket offers protection and comfort, but not every model works the same way.
Some people want a blanket that can be put on and taken off quickly. Others are looking for extra protection around the feet, space for a central steering column, or simply maximum warmth during cold days.
That is why Belieff has different models. In this selection guide, we first explain how to read the warmth levels. Then we discuss each blanket, cape, and additional heating solution individually.
This way, you can determine which product best suits your situation, the moment of use, and the desired degree of warmth. Still not sure? Ask someone from the Belieff team and we will be happy to help!

How to read the legend
Each model has a warmth level. This helps you compare the different Belieff products.
The warmth level provides an indication of the relative amount of insulation and protection the model offers. It is not an exact temperature measurement. How warm a product feels in practice also depends on the outside temperature, wind, clothing, duration of use, and personal sensitivity to cold.
Warmth levels
- ●○○○ Light: light protection with little extra insulation.
- ●●○○ Comfortable: pleasant warmth for daily use.
- ●●◐○ Comfortable to extra warm: more protection than an open model, while maintaining freedom of movement.
- ●●●○ Extra warm: extra protection, especially around the feet or upper body.
- ●●●● Maximum warmth: the warmest passive version, with maximum enclosure or insulation.
- ●●●●+ Active electric warmth: the product not only retains body heat but actively adds heat using electric heating.
Passive and active warmth
The regular Belieff blankets and capes provide passive warmth. The materials help retain body heat and protect against cold conditions.
The Heated Footmuff, Heating Pad, and the Heating Seat & Back Surface provide active warmth. These products use electric heating to generate heat themselves.
What do the heating symbols mean?
- 🔥 Optional: a separate Belieff Heating Pad can be attached with Velcro strips.
- 🔥 Integrated: the heating is built directly into the product.
- Not possible: the product is not prepared for the insertion of a Heating Pad.
A higher warmth level does not automatically mean that a model is the best choice for you. Anyone who prioritizes freedom of movement and quick use may benefit more from an Open model than from the warmer, fully Closed version.
Furthermore, for the Rain Cape, the low warmth level says nothing about the protection against rain. This model was primarily developed to stay dry.

Open warmth blanket: easy to put on
Warmth level: ●●○○
Heating Pad: optional
The Open warmth blanket was developed for people who prioritize convenience and freedom of movement. Due to its open construction, the blanket is quick to put on and easy to remove.
The model offers comfortable protection during daily use without fully enclosing the legs. The integrated hand pockets give your hands a sheltered spot during cold moments.

Flex warmth blanket: flexible and extra protected
Warmth level: ●●◐○
Heating Pad: optional
The Flex offers more protection around the legs and feet than the Open model, but retains much of the freedom of movement.
The flexible bottom layer can be placed under the feet. This creates extra protection at the bottom without having to step into a fully closed blanket.
This makes the Flex an intermediate model for people who find the Open model insufficiently protective but find a Closed model too restrictive.
Advantages of the Flex warmth blanket
- Flexible bottom layer to place your feet on.
- More protection around the legs and feet than Open.
- Maintains freedom of movement.
- Equipped with hand pockets.
- Good balance between convenience, warmth, and protection.

Choose the Flex warmth blanket if: you want more protection than with Open, but do not need a fully closed model.

Warmth blanket with footmuff: extra warmth around the feet
Warmth level: ●●●○
Heating Pad: optional
Cold feet can make a big difference in how comfortable a trip or moment outside feels. This model therefore has an integrated footmuff that provides extra protection and enclosure around the feet.
The blanket is especially suitable for people who get cold feet quickly or sit still for long periods. The rest of the model remains practical to use and features hand pockets.
Advantages of the warmth blanket with footmuff
- Integrated footmuff.
- Extra warmth and protection around the feet.
- Comfortable when sitting still for long periods.
- Practical hand pockets.
- Can be expanded with a Belieff Heating Pad.
Choose the warmth blanket with footmuff if: warm feet make the most important difference for you.

Warmth blanket with two footmuffs: warmth with space for a central steering column
Warmth level: ●●●○
Heating Pad: optional
With some mobility scooters, the steering column runs between the feet. A wide, shared footmuff is not always practical then.
This model has two separate footmuffs. Both feet are enclosed separately, while space remains between the footmuffs for, for example, the central steering column of a mobility scooter.
Advantages of two separate footmuffs
- Two separate footmuffs.
- Both feet are protected separately.
- Free space between the feet.
- Suitable for mobility scooters with a central steering column.

Closed warmth blanket: maximum passive protection
Warmth level: ●●●●
Heating Pad: optional
The Closed warmth blanket fully encloses the legs and feet. Due to the closed construction, there are fewer openings through which warmth can escape.
This makes it the warmest version without integrated electric heating. The model is suitable for cold days, longer moments outside, and people who have a great need for enclosure.
On the other hand, getting in requires more actions than with an Open or Flex model. Those who primarily want quick and easy use might therefore be better off choosing a less closed version.
Advantages of the Closed warmth blanket
- Fully enclosing model.
- Maximum passive warmth.
- Extra protection around the legs and feet.
- Fewer openings through which warmth can escape.
- Equipped with hand pockets.
- Can be expanded with a Belieff Heating Pad.
Choose the Closed warmth blanket if: you are looking for maximum passive warmth and protection around your legs and feet, and extra time to get in is not an issue.

Heated footmuff: three integrated heating zones
Warmth level: ●●●●+
Heating: integrated
The Heated Footmuff combines enclosure with active electric heating. Instead of just retaining body heat, the product itself emits heat.
There are three heating zones incorporated into the footmuff. The hand pockets are also heated. As a result, no separate Heating Pad is needed.
This model is intended for people who get cold easily and are looking for maximum warmth for their legs, feet, and hands.
Benefits of the Heated Footmuff
- Electric heating integrated into the blanket.
- Three built-in heating zones.

Choose the Heated Footmuff if: you want maximum warmth and are looking for an integrated electric solution.
Belieff Cord: keep your blanket in place
The Belieff Cord is not a separate blanket model, but an adjustable attachment clip. It allows you to keep a suitable Belieff outdoor blanket better in place.
The Cord helps prevent the blanket from shifting or sliding off easily during use. The adjustable length makes it possible to adapt the attachment to the situation.
Benefits of the Belieff Cord
- Helps prevent the blanket from sliding off.

- Adjustable length.
- Suitable for Belieff outdoor blankets.

Rain Cape: protection against rain and wind
Warmth level: ●○○○
Heating Pad: not possible
The Rain Cape is primarily intended to protect the upper body against rain and wind. The lightweight model is easy to put on and take off and serves as a practical layer during wet weather.
The one-warmth-dot score means that the cape offers little extra insulation. This says nothing about the level of rain protection: warmth and rain protection are two different product features.
Benefits of the Rain Cape
- Focused on rain protection.
- Protects the upper body against rain and wind.
- Light and practical.
- Easy to put on and take off.
- Suitable for changeable weather.
A Heating Pad cannot be attached to the Rain Cape.
Choose the Rain Cape if: staying dry in the rain is more important than extra warmth.
Single-lined cape: warm protection for the upper body
Warmth level: ●●●○
Heating Pad: optional
The single-lined cape protects the upper body against cold and wind. Due to the single lining, this version is lighter than the double-lined cape.
The model is suitable for daily use and for people who want extra warmth but do not always need the heaviest or warmest version.
Benefits of the single-lined cape
- Protects the upper body against cold and wind.
- Lighter than the double-lined version.
- Comfortable for daily use.
- Easy to wear over outdoor clothing.
- Expandable with a Belieff Heating Pad.
Choose the single-lined cape if: you are looking for a warm cape without the maximum insulation of a double-lined version.
Double-lined cape: maximum warmth for the upper body
Warmth level: ●●●●
Heating Pad: optional
The double-lined cape is developed for maximum passive warmth around the upper body. The double lining offers more insulation than the single-lined version.

Benefits of the double-lined cape
- Double lining for extra insulation.
- Protects the upper body against cold and wind.

The separate electric pad provides targeted, active warmth. Using Velcro strips, it can be attached inside products prepared with Velcro on the inside of the blanket. You can choose where you want to attach it in the blanket and easily remove it if you don't want to use it.
The Heating Pad is suitable for
- Open.
- Flex.
- Heated blanket with footmuff.
- Heated blanket with two footmuffs.

Choose the Heating Pad if: you want to extra-heat a suitable Belieff product without immediately buying a completely new heated blanket.
Heating Seat & Backrest: active warmth where you sit
Active warmth: ●●●●+
The Heating Seat & Backrest provides targeted electric warmth to the back and the seat. Therefore, it is a different solution than a heated blanket, which primarily offers protection around the legs and feet.
The heated seat and backrest have three heat settings and can heat up to a maximum of 49 °C according to product specifications. With a suitable power bank, it can be used wirelessly.

Do you know which type of protection fits your situation?
View all Belieff warmth solutions→Frequently Asked Questions
Which Belieff blanket is the warmest?
The Heated Footmuff offers the highest active warmth due to the three integrated heating zones. If you are looking for maximum warmth without electric heating, then the Closed model is the warmest passive blanket.
Which wheelchair blanket is the easiest to put on?
The Open heated blanket is the easiest and fastest to put on and take off. This model offers plenty of freedom of movement, but less enclosure than Flex, Footmuff, and Closed.
Which blanket is suitable for a mobility scooter with a center steering column?
The model with two separate footmuffs leaves space between the feet. Therefore, it can be suitable for a mobility scooter with a steering column between the feet.
What is the difference between Flex and Footmuff?
Flex has a base layer on which you can place your feet and offers a balance between protection and freedom of movement. The model with a footmuff encloses the feet more and is therefore intended for people who especially get cold feet quickly.
Can every Belieff blanket be heated electrically?
No. For Open, Flex, Footmuff, 2 Footmuffs, and Closed, a separate Heating Pad can be added. The Heated Footmuff has integrated heating. The Rain Cape is not suitable for a Heating Pad.
What is the difference between a Heating Pad and a Heating Seat & Backrest?
The Heating Pad is attached in prepared Belieff blankets and capes. The Heating Seat & Backrest specifically heats the seat and the back and can be placed in a wheelchair or mobility scooter.
