About Tilt-in-Space Wheelchairs
Tilt-in-space wheelchairs are specialist postural support wheelchairs designed to help reposition the user while maintaining their seated posture. They are often used where comfort, pressure relief, posture management or complex support needs are important. Unlike a standard wheelchair, a tilt-in-space chair allows the whole seating system to tilt backwards, which can help redistribute pressure, improve comfort and support safer long-term positioning throughout the day.
Pressure Relief Wheelchairs
Pressure relief wheelchairs can help redistribute pressure and improve comfort for users who spend longer periods seated.
Complex Support Wheelchairs
Complex support wheelchairs are suited to users who need more advanced seating, positioning and support than a standard manual wheelchair can usually provide.
Repositioning Wheelchairs
Repositioning wheelchairs help carers adjust the user’s seated position for comfort, rest, pressure management and day-to-day support.

Buying guide
How to Choose the Right Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair
Choosing the right tilt-in-space wheelchair depends on the user’s posture, comfort, pressure relief needs, transfer requirements and level of clinical support required.
1
Step 1 — Understand the User’s Support Needs
Consider whether the user needs help with posture, pressure relief, fatigue management, comfort or safer positioning during longer periods of sitting.
2
Step 2 — Consider Pressure Relief and Repositioning
Tilt-in-space wheelchairs can help redistribute pressure by changing the seated angle while keeping the user supported in the chair.
3
Step 3 — Review Seating and Postural Support
Look at seat width, back support, head support, lateral support, leg positioning and any clinical seating requirements.
4
Step 4 — Think About Carer Handling and Daily Use
Consider how easy the chair is for carers to adjust, manoeuvre, brake, transport and use safely in the home or care environment.
5
Step 5 — Arrange a Clinical Assessment
For complex support needs, a clinical assessment helps identify the most suitable tilt-in-space wheelchair, seating setup and support features.
