For many people, a power wheelchair is more than a piece of medical equipment. It's a daily companion — present at work, at social events, on trips, and through the routines that define everyday life. When a device plays that central a role, personalizing and protecting it isn't a luxury. It's a practical decision that reflects both your personality and your commitment to keeping the equipment in top condition.

WHILL has long understood this better than most manufacturers in the mobility space. Their power chairs — the Model C2 and the foldable Model F — were designed from the ground up to be customized, not just used. The accessories that WHILL has developed around these chairs reflect that philosophy precisely: thoughtfully engineered, easy to swap, and genuinely useful in daily life.

Why Power Chair Accessories Matter More Than You'd Expect

There's a tendency to treat wheelchair accessories as afterthoughts — optional extras for users who want a bit of flair. In practice, they serve a more meaningful purpose. Accessories that protect the physical structure of your chair reduce wear over time, preserving both its appearance and resale value. Accessories that personalize the chair contribute to something harder to quantify but equally real: the sense that the device belongs to you, rather than the other way around.

For users who rely on a power chair every single day, that psychological dimension matters. A chair you feel good about using is a chair you're more likely to maintain, more likely to take with you, and more likely to use confidently in public settings.

WHILL Model C2 Arm Covers: Easy Personalization for a Classic Platform

The WHILL Model C2 is one of the brand's most recognized platforms — a compact, capable smart power chair that balances indoor maneuverability with genuine outdoor performance. It attracts users who want a chair that works hard and looks considered.

The WHILL C2 arm covers available through SimplyRenting offer five color options designed to complement the chair's clean lines. They're built for easy swapping, meaning users can change their look to match an outfit, an occasion, or simply a mood — without tools or technical knowledge. Each set includes both left and right covers, and the durable materials are designed to hold their color through regular daily use. For a chair that accompanies you everywhere, the ability to refresh its appearance on your own terms is a genuinely underrated feature.

Beyond aesthetics, arm covers also perform a protective function — shielding the underlying armrest structure from scratches, scuffs, and surface wear that accumulates during regular use in tight spaces or when the chair is being transported.

WHILL Model F Arm Covers: Matching Style to a Travel-Ready Design

The WHILL Model F takes a different approach to power mobility. It's a foldable, lightweight smart chair with an airline-approved lithium-ion battery, a 30.7-inch turning radius, and a quick-fold mechanism that collapses the chair in seconds. It was built for users with active, mobile lifestyles — people who travel frequently, navigate busy environments, and need their equipment to keep up without weighing them down.

That active context makes personalization even more relevant. The WHILL Model F arm covers bring the same five-color selection to the Model F platform, letting users tailor the chair's appearance to match their lifestyle, not just their medical needs. They're designed for the same quick, tool-free installation as the C2 covers, making them practical for users who travel and want to keep their accessories simple to manage.

The Model F pairs arm personalization with a broader accessory ecosystem — including side bags, lap belts, and smart key functionality through the WHILL app. The arm covers integrate naturally into that ecosystem, serving as the most visually prominent layer of customization available.

Waterproof Cover with Carrying Bag: Protection That Travels With You

Arm covers address the daily style dimension of power chair ownership. The WHILL waterproof cover with carrying bag for the Model F addresses a different but equally important concern — protecting the chair's mechanical and electronic components when the environment isn't cooperating.

The cover is designed with waterproof seams and a custom fit tailored specifically to the Model F's dimensions. It provides reliable protection against rain, dust, and moisture during outdoor storage or vehicle transport — conditions that the base chair's surface wasn't designed to withstand indefinitely. At a rated waterproof level of 3000 mm, it offers genuine protection rather than the superficial splash resistance that cheaper alternatives provide.

What makes this accessory particularly practical is the included carrying bag. At just 14 ounces, the waterproof cover is easy to fold down small, making it straightforward to pack and carry during travel — a natural fit for the Model F's travel-first design philosophy. Whether the chair is being stored in the boot of a car on a wet day or parked outdoors during an outdoor event, the cover goes on quickly and removes cleanly.

Building a Complete Ownership Experience

What WHILL gets right — and what the accessories available through SimplyRenting reflect — is a coherent approach to ownership. A power chair that can be personalized with arm covers, protected with a purpose-built waterproof cover, and managed through a smartphone app feels less like a piece of medical equipment and more like a considered, capable product designed around the user's actual life.

For users who spend significant time in their power chairs, that completeness matters. The right accessories don't just preserve the chair — they make using it a more confident, comfortable, and genuinely personal experience.
