Spex Manta Classic Back Support
The Spex Manta Classic combines two of Spex Seating’s most popular back support designs into one versatile solution. It merges the sleek, wraparound shape of the Spex Manta with the cube contouring capabilities of the Spex Classic, delivering personalised support in a single, integrated system.
Inside, built-in lateral trunk supports and pressure-relieving foam provide targeted comfort, while the cube contouring technology allows the back support to be shaped on the spot for a precise fit. The smooth, breathable cover wraps around the entire support, offering both comfort and durability for daily use.
Designed for ease of use, the Spex Manta Classic can be adjusted while the user is seated, making it simple to provide tailored support without disruption. Its all-in-one design integrates the laterals and back support into a sleek, encompassing shape, delivering both functionality and style.
With the Spex Manta Classic, users enjoy a fully personalised, comfortable, and supportive seating solution that adapts to their individual needs.

Features:

Adjustable Cube Contouring
Add or remove cubes while the user remains seated. Simply unzip the cover from the top to access the contouring system.
Cube Anchor System
Prevents shifting or slipping of cubes during transfers.
Wing Cube Pockets
Contouring cubes for the lateral wings are included in the box and can be added as needed.
Extended Lateral Hardware

Pressure-Relieving Inner overlay

Neoprene lateral covers
Lateral trunk support covers are made from soft neoprene, ensuring comfort during self-propulsion.

Integrated Harness Retainer
A discreet fabric loop at the top of the back support helps keep anterior trunk supports tidy and in place (please note that this is not intended for clinical positioning and for this purpose, please add Spex harness guides)
Easy to Remove Cover
The Manta has been redesigned with a zipper that runs around the entire rear edge of the back support, making it simple to remove for washing and to replace the foam insert afterwards.
Swing-away Lateral Options
The option to have Swing-Away laterals enables easier transfers.Technical specifications
