What are Tilt-In-Space Riser Recliners used for?

Tilt-in-space riser recliners are becoming a much more popular option for those needing the comfort and convenience of seating with the added protection against pressure sores.

Tilt-in-space refers to the way in which the seat tilts, yet maintains the angle between the seat cushion and the backrest. This means that weight can be distributed evenly and therefore alleviate pressure on vulnerable parts of the body, especially when the person is sitting for longer periods.

Other seats, or alternative models of riser recliners often have settings where the angle of the backrest can be adjusted, but this is not suited to all users as the increase in angle can potentially cause discomfort or risk of injury.

Tilt-in-space riser recliners are easily adjusted, usually via a wired hand-held controller that operates the lowering and rising of the chair, and also the tilt-in-space function.

Tilt-in-space riser recliners are ideally used in the home or professional care environment. Many care homes prefer the use of tilt-in-space riser recliners as they give residents comfort and security for longer periods when they are seated for relaxation or recreation.

The tilt-in-space motion of the chairs means that they are especially suitable for users with a risk of pressure sores, such as the elderly or those living with a disability.

In such cases tilt-in-space riser recliners are an ideal choice as they allow for the distribution of weight where forces of gravity would otherwise create a pressure risk.

Therefore tilt-in-space riser recliners are an ideal addition to any pressure care regimen as they can alleviate otherwise potentially risky conditions.

Tilt-in-space riser recliners are also an ideal piece of equipment for use in recuperation after injury or surgery as the tilt-in-space motion allows for the maintaining of a comfortable and safe seating position that can easily be adjusted for comfort according to individual needs.

Tilt-in-space riser recliners also help the requirements of hygiene and infection control in professional care environments, as they have easily cleaned hypo-allergenic surfaces that require only basic cleaning with cloths and a gentle detergent.

This makes them an efficient and practical choice for care homes, hospitals, and other healthcare settings where hygiene is crucial to prevent infections and ensure the well-being of individuals with compromised health.

In addition to their health benefits, tilt-in-space riser recliners offer a high level of user comfort, which can be adjusted to meet specific needs. Whether users need to relax, read, watch TV, or nap, the chair provides the flexibility to position them in a way that minimises discomfort. 

This is particularly important for individuals who may struggle with finding a suitable position in more traditional seating options.

For people with mobility issues, the riser function of the chair is also a major benefit. The chair can tilt and rise, helping users stand up with ease by providing support and lifting them into a standing position, reducing the strain on their joints and muscles. 

This can greatly improve independence, as individuals are not as reliant on caregivers for assistance with standing. Find out more and see Mobility Smart’s full range of tilt-in-space riser recliners available to order immediately here
