- Dual-Orientation Cover Design: Unique cover can be flipped 180 degrees, enabling the lateral trunk supports to be positioned either higher or lower, providing optimal fit and lateral trunk control tailored to the user’s needs
- Superior Comfort: Memory foam inner lines the center of the back support
- Neoprene Lateral Support Covers: Provide a soft, comfortable surface where the arms contact the lateral area e.g. when self-propelling
- Integrated Harness Retainer: A discreet fabric loop at the top of the back support helps keep anterior trunk supports tidy and in place (please note this is not intended for clinical positioning – for this purpose, please add Spex Harness Guides)

- Easy-to-Remove Cover: The zipper runs around the entire rear edge of the back support, making it simple to remove for washing and to replace the foam insert afterwards.

- Swing-Away Lateral Option: Swing-away laterals are available as an option, allowing for easier transfers
