Comfort in seating has always been Rea's core business. The combination of good comfort for extended periods, and self propulsion has been the success of the Rea Comfort.

When tilting the seat backwards the whole seat unit slides forward, thus moving the balance point. This sliding balance point makes the chair stable and secure even when the seat is tilted 20° backwards and the backrest is reclined to its 30° Iimit. Whilst in the upright position the chair is still easy to propel.

The Rea Comfort seating system consists of an independent seat tilt and backrest recline. The seat plate is depth adjustable while the backrest is height adjustable with a low backrest hinge to mimic the natural movement of a reclining human back.

The Comfort gives the user the possibility to tilt the seat mechanically without the help of an assistant. By turning the wheel the whole seat unit tilts. The backrest recline is also operated by the user through a handle on the side of the wheelchair.
