Once a Configura Comfort is tilted or reclined, head support decides whether the position is actually usable. This profiled headrest gives a shaped surface behind the head and upper neck so the client can rest without their head falling forward or sideways.
It doubles as a neck pillow for clients who need support lower down, at the point where the neck meets the shoulders, which is often where discomfort shows up first in someone with limited neck strength. A range of sizes is available, so the support can be matched to the person.
Good head position keeps the airway open in reclined sitting and helps with swallowing, so this is worth specifying for anyone being tilted back for pressure relief or rest.
