Dreamline has a range of head support pads & bracket options to suit multiple needs. Like other Dreamline supports all head support 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 head support designs incorporate an Occipital roll to increase head support & positioning. The head support brackets are multi-adjustable with secure ball clamps & links with interlocking teeth for maximum positioning grip. The swing-down head support 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. Occipital supports on the head support pads enable an increased control of head position & the Adjustable pad series (Pivot-wing, Tri-pad & Quad-pad) offer advanced head control. All Dreamline head supports can be upgraded to include singular or multiple swing-away support pads for added control.
