Which Belieff blanket suits you? The complete buying guide
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! All models at a glance Model Warmth level Heating Especially suitable for Open ●●○○ Heating Pad optional Convenience and freedom of movement Flex ●●◐○ Heating Pad optional Balance between freedom and protection With Footmuff ●●●○ Heating Pad optional Extra warm feet With 2 Footmuffs ●●●○ Heating Pad optional Warm feet and space for a central steering column Closed ●●●● Heating Pad optional Maximum passive warmth and protection Heated Footmuff ●●●●+ Heating integrated Maximum active warmth Rain Cape ●○○○ Not possible Protection against rain and wind Single-lined Cape ●●●○ Heating Pad optional Daily warmth for the upper body Double-lined Cape ●●●● Heating Pad optional Maximum warmth for the upper body 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. Which Belieff fits you best? Use this short summary if you are still in doubt: Choose Open for convenience and freedom of movement. Choose Flex for more protection while maintaining flexibility. Choose Footmuff when warm feet are especially important. Choose 2 Footmuffs if you need warm feet and space for a central steering column. Choose Closed for maximum passive warmth and enclosure. Choose the Heated Footmuff for maximum warmth with integrated electric heating. Choose the Rain Cape if protection against rain is paramount. Choose the single-lined cape for daily warmth around the upper body. Choose the double-lined cape for maximum passive warmth around the upper body. Add a Heating Pad when you want to actively heat a suitable existing model. Choose the Heating Seat & Back Surface for targeted warmth to your back and seat. Use the Belieff Cord when you want to keep your outdoor blanket better in place. Would you like a more detailed explanation of which type of protection suits your situation? 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. Advantages of the Open warmth blanket Open construction with great freedom of movement. Quick and easy to put on and take off. Comfortable for daily use. Equipped with practical hand pockets. Can be expanded with a Belieff Heating Pad. Choose the Open warmth blanket if: you are looking for a practical blanket that is easy to use and maximum enclosure is less important. View the Open warmth blanket → 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. Can be expanded with a Belieff Heating Pad. Choose the Flex warmth blanket if: you want more protection than with Open, but do not need a fully closed model. View the Flex warmth blanket → 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. View the warmth blanket with footmuff → 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. Equipped with hand pockets. Can be expanded with a Belieff Heating Pad. Choose the warmth blanket with two footmuffs if: you want warm feet and need space between both feet for, for example, a steering column. View the warmth blanket with two footmuffs → 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. View the closed warmth blanket → 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. Heated hand pockets. Active heat instead of just insulation. Footmuff for extra protection around the feet. Zipper on the footmuff for easy entry. No separate Heating Pad needed. Choose the Heated Footmuff if: you want maximum warmth and are looking for an integrated electric solution. View the Heated Footmuff → 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. Easy to attach and remove. Adjustable length. Suitable for Belieff outdoor blankets. Practical for use in a wheelchair or on a mobility scooter. Water-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. Choose the Belieff Cord if: you want to keep your blanket in place more easily and comfortably. View the Belieff Cord → 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. View the Rain Cape → 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. View the single-lined cape → 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. This model is especially suitable for cold days, people who get cold faster, and situations where you are outside for longer periods. Benefits of the double-lined cape Double lining for extra insulation. Protects the upper body against cold and wind. Warmest passive cape version. Suitable for longer moments outside. Expandable with a Belieff Heating Pad. Choose the double-lined cape if: you are looking for the warmest cape version for your upper body. View the double-lined cape → Heating Pad: add active warmth Active warmth: ●●●●+ The Belieff Heating Pad is not a separate blanket model. It is an optional heat upgrade for suitable Belieff blankets and capes. 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.

View the heating pad → 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. Benefits of the Heating Seat & Backrest Electric heating for back and seat. Active, targeted warmth. Three heat settings. Maximum temperature of 49 °C.

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.

From REHACARE to everyday life: practical warmth and comfort
From September 23 to 26, Belieff was present in hall 4, booth 4A03 at REHACARE 2026 in Düsseldorf, the international trade fair for rehabilitation, prevention, inclusion, and care. For four days, users, their loved ones, healthcare professionals, and suppliers of assistive devices gathered around one key topic: how can practical solutions contribute to a more independent and comfortable daily life? For Belieff, the fair was not just about showcasing products. It was, above all, a moment to reflect on what good assistive devices should do in practice: provide comfort without extra hassle and offer support without restricting the user. Warmth is not a luxury when you spend a lot of time sitting Those who walk or cycle outdoors are constantly in motion, thereby generating warmth. For someone in a wheelchair or mobility scooter, it works differently. During colder days, the feet, legs, and back in particular can cool down quickly. This doesn't just affect physical comfort. Cold can also determine how long someone wants to stay outside or whether they decide to go out at all. Therefore, a heating solution should not only be pleasant but also fit into daily use. The most important question is not how many features a product has. The question is: does it make a cold day noticeably more comfortable without making the user unnecessarily dependent? Practical solutions must remain simple A great deal of innovation can be seen at a trade fair like REHACARE. Yet, a valuable assistive device does not have to be complex. It is precisely products that are easy to use, carry, and combine with a wheelchair or mobility scooter that can make a difference in daily life. For Belieff, this means, among other things: warmth where and when it is needed; a design that suits a seated position; as few separate actions as possible; comfort without unnecessarily restricting freedom of movement; materials suitable for regular daily use. The goal is not to add more technology to someone's day. The goal is to make cold, wind, and discomfort less of a deciding factor. The heated foot blanket: targeted warmth for on the go One of the key solutions in the range is the Belieff Heated Foot Blanket. It is developed to keep feet and lower legs warm while seated and can be used wirelessly with a power bank. The soft inner lining helps to retain heat, while the heating provides extra support during fresh and cold moments. As a result, the foot blanket is suitable for use on the go, during an outdoor activity, or during moments when someone is sitting for longer periods. The practical benefits: targeted warmth around feet and lower legs; can be used wirelessly; designed for use in a wheelchair; comfortable during longer periods of sitting; suitable for both daily trips and outings. The foot blanket is therefore not a technical end in itself. It is a way to keep going out more comfortably when temperatures drop. The Belieff Heated Foot Blanket costs €199.95, excluding shipping costs. Orders are dispatched within 24 hours. VIEW THE HEATED FOOT BLANKET → Comfort sometimes requires more than just warmth Cold feet are only one part of being comfortable on the go. Wind and rain require a different form of protection. That is why, at REHACARE, Belieff primarily showcased solutions that together cover various daily situations. Protection against wind and rain The Belieff Wheelchair Poncho is made for wheelchair users who want to go outside in changeable weather. The poncho covers the upper body and lap, while allowing the user to keep their hands free to operate the wheelchair. VIEW THE WHEELCHAIR PONCHO → Targeted warmth while sitting The Belieff Heat Pad provides warmth exactly where it is desired while sitting. The thin, flexible design can be used on a chair and is intended as a practical addition for cold moments at home or on the go. VIEW THE HEAT PAD → These products each have their own application. Therefore, they do not all need to be used or purchased at the same time. The right solution depends on the situation: is cold around the feet the main problem, is protection against rain needed, or is targeted warmth while sitting desired? From the exhibition floor to your daily situation Every year, REHACARE demonstrates the vast amount of knowledge, innovation, and commitment that exists within the world of rehabilitation and care. For Belieff, however, the most important benchmark remains simple: does a solution also work on a regular cold or rainy day? Practical assistive devices should fit the life of the user. They should be easy to understand, feel comfortable, and help ensure that daily choices are less determined by the weather. That is what Belieff takes away from REHACARE 2026: not more complexity, but thoughtful warmth and comfort for moments when it is really needed. Go out more comfortably on cold days Do you mainly suffer from cold feet and lower legs while sitting? Then see how the Belieff Heated Foot Blanket can provide you with targeted warmth on the go.

Stage 19 of the Stadionloop: Belief at the finish at FC Groningen
Stage 19: From the Far North to a higher goal Stage 19 of the Stadionloop took place on October 8, 2025, at FC Groningen — a route with the motto "From the Far North to a higher goal." This stage, made possible by Flexpumps, marked a key moment in the national run, which revolves around inclusive stadiums, community projects, and connecting people through sport and purpose. Pim, the driving force behind the Stadionloop, travels hundreds of kilometers from stadium to stadium, with the mission to literally and figuratively come closer to a society in which everyone counts. Belieff's involvement in this stage As a proud sponsor of the Stadionloop, Belieff will be present at stage 19, not only to provide support but also to offer warmth and comfort—both literally and figuratively. During the stage's arrival at FC Groningen, it was time to showcase Belieff's commitment to accessibility, engagement, and recognition for people with disabilities. We saw runners, supporters, and other stakeholders gather in the Groningen stadium to celebrate this special moment—a moment of connection and recognition. As a supplier of warm and comfortable blankets, Belieff is committed to helping people with disabilities or reduced mobility every day — whether at home, in healthcare, or in the stadium. Moment of gathering When Pim arrived at FC Groningen on October 8th, it was more than just the end of a journey. It was a moment to reflect, celebrate, and look ahead. Once at their destination, Pim and Rick, along with FC Groningen, handed out blankets to the disabled supporters. This honored Pim's efforts and demonstrated that sports and social causes go hand in hand. What this means for Belieff Our role as a sponsor and stakeholder in the Stadionloop gives us the opportunity not only to increase brand visibility, but above all to make our core values tangible: Warmth & comfort, for people who need it Inclusivity — in stadiums, in events, in experiences Community involvement — not just a product, but a stance We are grateful that stage 19 at FC Groningen once again inspires and motivates us to continue. Finally Stage 19 on October 8th was further proof that the Stadionloop is more than just a run. It's a movement that connects people, raises awareness, and enables change—step by step, stadium by stadium. At Belieff, we remain true to our mission: bringing warmth where it's needed most — in the stands, on the route, in the stadium, and in society.
