How to Bend the Headrest Laterals

Proper head support plays an important role in maintaining comfort, posture, and stability while seated. The Cub headrest is designed with bendable lateral wings that can be easily shaped to better match each user's individual needs.

In this video, we demonstrate how to bend the headrest laterals to provide improved support and positioning.

Why Bend the Headrest Laterals?

Every user has a different head shape and level of support required. By gently bending the headrest laterals inward or outward, caregivers and clinicians can customize the fit to provide:

• Improved lateral head support.

• Better midline head positioning.

• Increased comfort during daily activities.

• Enhanced stability for users with reduced head control.

Small adjustments can make a significant difference in overall positioning and comfort.

How to Adjust the Headrest

Using both hands, carefully bend the lateral wings of the headrest until they provide the desired level of support.

Make gradual adjustments and check the user's head position after each change to achieve a comfortable, symmetrical fit.

Tips

• Bend both laterals evenly whenever possible.

• Avoid making excessive adjustments in a single step.

• Reassess the fit periodically as the user's positioning needs change.

Properly adjusted head support helps improve comfort while promoting more stable and functional seating.
