Advice from the showroom floor
Will the Rea Azalea Tilt in Space suit you?
The Rea Azalea suits someone who spends much of the day in their wheelchair and needs to change position without leaving it. The seat tilts and the backrest reclines, so a carer can settle the user back for a rest, then bring them upright for meals. It can be set up as an attendant-pushed transit chair or with self-propel rear wheels.
Fitting matters with a chair like this. Come and sit in it at a showroom, try the tilt and recline, and bring whoever will be pushing so it suits you both. Call ahead on 0800 169 1910 and we will have one ready.

The Rea Azalea Tilt in Space in detail
A tilt in space wheelchair built around adjustment. Invacare's Rea Azalea lets the whole seat tilt back while the user stays in the same sitting position, and the backrest reclines separately. Both movements are worked by the attendant through gas pistons, so changing position during the day takes only a light touch.
What you get
- 25 degrees of seat tilt and 30 degrees of backrest recline
- Attendant-operated gas pistons, with an electric-controlled version offered by Invacare as an option
- Dual Stability System: the seat moves forward and down inside the frame as it tilts, keeping the chair steady even at full tilt and recline
- Pivot points placed to match the body's own, so chair and user move together
- Transit rear wheels for attendant pushing, or self-propel wheels for a moderately active user
Seating and support
The Flex 3 backrest comes in two styles. The backrest plate is sturdy and adjusts in width and height. The tension-adjustable version uses straps that can be set to follow the shape of the user's back, with a padded cover over the top. Either can be paired with Invacare's postural support cushions.
Set up for one person
Nearly every part of the chair and its seating adjusts, and there is a long list of options and accessories. Our team will help you work through the choices, and the chair comes with a 12-month warranty looked after by ScootaMart's own engineers.
