Dreamline has a range of headrest pads & bracket options to suit multiple needs. Like other Dreamline supports all headrest pads have a firm closed cell foam structure with a soft immersive overlay of Sunmate visco-elastic foam (apart from the open curved headrest pad which has a soft 3″thick immersive pillow). The headrest designs incoporate a Occipital roll to increase head support & positioning. The headrest brackets are multi-adjustable with secure ball clamps & links with interlocking teeth for maximum positioning grip. The swing-down headrest bracket option provides a quick method of the head pad removal for greater caregiver ease during transfers.
The head through gravity can lead the body so the positioning of the head is critical to the overall success of the seat. Dreamline puts a lot of emphasis ensuring the head can be positioned in the best location to maximize sitting ability, head control & communication / participation. Restricting lateral movement can have the added effect of reducing drooping of the head. Ocippital supports on the headrest pads enable an increased control of head position & the Adjustable pad series (Pivot-wing, Tri-pad & Quad-pad) offer advanced head control. All dreamline headrests can be upgraded to include singular or multiple swing-away support pads for added control.
