Med-Mizer FlexTilt Tilt-in-Space Recline Chair
Med-Mizer FlexTilt Tilt-in-Space Recline Chair — V-Back, Pivoting Arms
Overview
The Med-Mizer FlexTilt is a tilt-in-space recline chair built for comfortable, well-supported seating through a full day — and for making repositioning and transport easy on the caregiver. Independent tilt (up to 25°) and recline (up to 30°) let you change position whenever needed, shifting weight and redistributing pressure without asking the person to move. A center-of-gravity tilt keeps everything balanced, and built-in handles on the backrest make each adjustment simple.
Comfort and fit are where it stands out. The exclusive V-Back design cradles and centers the user without the need for bulky positioning pads, and pressure-relief strapping flexes to each person's individual contour for support that still feels soft. Height-adjustable, pivoting arms swing clear to make transfers from either side easier, the foot section fully reclines, and both seat height and depth adjust (with a built-in length extender) to dial in the fit. Dual steering casters let a caregiver push the chair in a straight line with far less strain. Built on a steel frame with a 350 lb capacity and made in the USA, it's backed by a 3-year frame and 1-year component warranty. Choose your seat width below — padding is included.

Equipment Specialist Insight: A tilt-in-space chair does something a plain recliner can't — it tilts the whole seat as one unit, keeping the hip and knee angles fixed while shifting weight off the seat and back, so you can change the load without changing the person's posture. That's what makes it the right tool for comfortable, all-day sitting and easy pressure changes; the separate recline then opens the back angle when you want it. The V-Back is the genuinely clever part: it cradles and centers the user so you're not stacking up positioning pads. For fit, match the seat width to the person (16, 20, or 24 inches) and use the adjustable depth and height to fine-tune. The steering casters really do make pushing in a straight line easier on the caregiver's back. One ordering note worth flagging: if you want the WC19 transit certification — which lets the chair be secured for safely transporting someone seated in it in a vehicle — it has to be ordered with the chair, as it can't be added later. Padding is included.

What's the difference between tilt-in-space and recline?
Tilt-in-space tilts the whole seat as one unit, keeping the hip and knee angles fixed while shifting weight — ideal for comfort and pressure changes without altering posture. Recline opens the back angle separately. The FlexTilt does both, independently.
How do I choose the seat width?
Match it to the person — 16″, 20″, or 24″. Seat depth and height are also adjustable, so you can fine-tune the fit after choosing the width.
What is the WC19 option?
WC19 certification allows the chair to be secured for safely transporting someone seated in it inside a vehicle. It must be ordered together with the chair — it cannot be added afterward.
Retail packaging and specifications may be updated by the manufacturer without notice. For health and hygiene reasons this item may be non-returnable — please confirm seat width and any options before ordering. The WC19 transit option must be ordered with the chair. This is an oversized item; additional freight charges may apply to some destinations. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
