Invacare Action 3NG Comfort

We view the Action 3NG Comfort as a “halfway house” between a standard folding wheelchair like the regular Action 3NG and a rigid framed tilting Rea Azalea. It provides much more comfort than a standard folding chair but doesn’t have the same weight to it as a full-blown tilt in space wheelchair, and is much easier to transport.

The Comfort comes as standard with:

• Padded Passad backrest featuring in-built lateral support, or Laguna back supplied with separate trunk supports.
• Mistral comfort cushion, which is amply padded.
• Padded headrest.
• 30­° reclining backrest.
• Elevating leg rests.

This results in a seat you can sit in much of the day, which will help to maintain an upright posture, and lets you lie back in a reclined position to rest.

It doesn’t have the ability to tilt the seat; something that is useful for those spending most the day in a wheelchair as that provides pressure relief, reduces slumping and aids hoisting – if that is required then Invacare’s Rea Azalea would be a better option.

However, tilt in space chairs are heavy and have rigid frames, meaning you can’t fold them up to go in a car. While the Action 3NG Comfort is heavier than a standard folding chair, it can still be folded up and lifted into a car, meaning it retains a good degree of transportability.

As with the Action 3 range, the Comfort can be fully configured with a wide array of options, allowing it to provide a perfect fit, the seating and functions you require, and also has a choice of frame colours. It can also be supplied as either a transit or self-propelled wheelchair.
