Tilt in Space Riser Recliners

Unlike a conventional riser recliner, a tilt in space chair maintains the angle between the seat and backrest as the chair reclines. Instead of the back moving independently away from the seat, the entire seating system tilts backwards as one unit. This helps maintain pelvic positioning, reduces shear forces and promotes better posture, making tilt in space chairs ideal for users who spend extended periods seated.

Designed for people who require improved postural support, pressure management and assistance when sitting or standing, these specialist chairs provide exceptional comfort while remaining easy to operate. John Preston offers a carefully selected range of single motor, dual motor and triple motor tilt in space riser recliners suitable for home use, care homes and healthcare environments.
