The headrest gives the head and upper neck a steady, contoured place to rest, holding position without the client having to do any work to keep it there. It is useful in bed and in reclined sitting, for clients with poor head control, fatigue or high tone through the neck.
Three sizes are made, so you can pick one that fills the space between the shoulders and the head without pushing the chin down or leaving a gap. That fit is what makes the difference between a client settling and a client fidgeting.
A granulating insert version can be moulded to the individual and will keep that shape, and frotte or washable covers are available for everyday laundering.
