Spex Standard Lateral Head Support
One-piece lateral head support solution for moderate head positioning needs.
The Standard Lateral Head Support, has been designed to meet moderate head positioning needs. It comprises a posterior head pad with suboccipital support to promote head positioning while the head rotates. A clever ear cut-out detail stays comfortable when resting at different positions on the pad.
Spex Head Support pads are constructed from an internal aluminium shell covered by an injection moulded polyurethane foam to ensure smooth and comfortable support surface. A soft memory foam overlay allows for pressure reduction even for clients with high tone patterns. The family of head support shapes have been geometrically and biomechanically designed to give greater support and stability for head positioning for wheelchair users. Along with the versatile Spex Stylo hardware, it’s possible to accommodate an extensive range of head positioning requirements.
The Standard Lateral Support is available in Paediatric and Adult sizes and also available in Extended Lateral versions, which are 4cm longer in lateral extension.

Functional benefits
In-Built Occipital Shaping to Promote Head Realignment
Occipital shaping of the foam ensures posterior pad control, keeping the users head in a supported position. Following the natural contours of the users’ head for enhanced comfort.
Superior Lateral Support
The Standard Lateral Head Pad features moderate support along the suboccipital area to cradle the head and promote a midline position. This maintains head positioning as the user rotates their head and makes it comfortable to rest at different positions around the support pad, great for users with low tone. One-piece posterior head pad keeps the head contained and supported when moving during visual attention shifts, whilst not obstructing the user’s vision.
Ear Cut-Outs for a Comfortable Fit
Accommodating ear cut-out detail allows for greater levels of comfort on the ears, even for users who rotate their head along the pad.
Shear Reduction Cover Design
The Standard Lateral Head Support pad has a clever dual-layer fabric surface to aid in shear reduction decreasing friction in addition to being gentle on the hair. The cover is removable for washing and hygiene purposes.
Soft Memory Foam Overlay
The soft memory foam overlay, together with a clever ‘ear cut-out’ detail, allow for pressure reduction even for clients with high tone patterns
Paediatric Size Tailored for Children
The paediatric pad shape is specifically designed and sculpted to provide the optimal support for infants in their early years to build and strengthen a postural foundation for them to grow on as they get older. The unique lateral shaping accommodates and fosters head control development.
