Spex Stylo 160 Head Support
For the simple, yet adjustable and adaptable head positioning solution
Stylo 160 is crafted to achieve the best of both worlds: simplicity and ease of adjustment, yet highly adjustable and versatile.
Clever use of twin ball joints means the head pad can be orientated to where the optimal support is required, through an available 45° of pitch; coupled with two hinge joints that offer infinite up and down, and forward and backward adjustment. The finished product… an extremely versatile mechanism that allows true adjustment of the pad position, creating a solution that is completely adaptable to the user.
Available in flip-back option for ease of transfers.
The Stylo Head Support is transport approved.

Stylo - The latest head support technology from Spex
Functional benefits
Ultimate and unparalleled adjustability to meet the most complex head positioning needs!
The extended adjustable links, together with ball and socket joints allow for precise head positioning as they permit the head/neck pad to be positioned virtually anywhere within its length. Increased forward reach with 160mm (Stylo 160) or 260mm (Stylo 260) available. Improved ball mount design allows incredible range of angle adjustment, with total adjustment possible up to 270°.
One tool for all adjustments
For ease of Stylo adjustment and fine-tuning to the correct position, only one tool is required – a 5mm Hex/Allen Key.
Sturdy positioning
Machined aluminium stem design incorporates two flat edges, ensuring no stem rotation for a fixed position that won’t slip. Extra strong design clamps up tightly to prevent lateral movement.
Super quick installation
Head support stem installs simply and easily into the mount, and easily removes when required.

Flip-back option
Available on both the Stylo 160 and 260, the flip-back mechanism option is an excellent choice for individuals who require assistance with transfers in and out of the wheelchair. Simply slide the red collar up to disengage the stem and swing backwards.
