Learn more about our Mobility Selection !
Reclining wheelchairs are a game-changer for individuals who need additional support and flexibility in their mobility devices. Designed to provide comfort, pressure relief, and improved posture, these wheelchairs allow users to recline at varying angles for relaxation and medical benefits. With options like tilt-in-space technology, choosing the right reclining wheelchair can be overwhelming. This guide will help you navigate the features and considerations to find the perfect fit.
A reclining wheelchair allows the user to adjust the backrest to various angles, often up to a fully reclined position. This design helps redistribute pressure, improve circulation, and provide a comfortable resting position.
Reclining Wheelchair: The backrest reclines while the seat remains stationary.
Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair: The entire seat and backrest tilt as one unit, maintaining posture while redistributing weight.
Reclining wheelchairs are ideal for:
Individuals with limited mobility or muscle weakness.
Users requiring pressure relief to prevent bedsores.
People needing support for medical conditions like orthostatic hypotension or postural challenges.
Standard models offer reclining angles up to 120°.
Advanced models recline fully to 180° for resting or sleeping.
Choose based on your comfort and medical needs.
