Spex Stylo 130 Head Support Mechanism
The Spex Stylo 130 is the most compact and simple head rest mechanism option from the Stylo family, whilst still providing sufficient adjustment to meet basic head support requirements.
Simplicity and ease of adjustment are achieved with an easy setup design. The patent pending spherical hinge joints allow the head pad to be positioned forwards, backwards, rotated, and angled with only two bolts, providing the optimal support where it’s required.
Featuring the quick-release Stylo mount, the mechanism can be quickly removed or installed. The finished product is a simplistic yet effective design that allows a range of adjustment of the pad position, creating a solution that is lightweight and adaptable for the user.
The Stylo 130 is the perfect solution for:
- Users with mostly midline neck and head positioning
- Some children
- Those who only require head support for transportation
- Clients who have basic sitting needs but require recline or tilt-in-space throughout the day and need a head support to facilitate this position
The Stylo 130 Head Support is transport certified.
Functional benefits:

Simplistic positioning, less effort
Achieve effective head positioning with less effort. A simple mechanism with fewer bolts and less moving parts results in quicker head positioning and fluid adjustment.
Compact design with patent pending spherical hinge joint
The Stylo 130 features a compact and unobtrusive design, with patent pending spherical hinge joints, which enable side to side adjustment within the mechanisms. This provides some of the adjustment of a ball joint, with the simplicity of a hinge joint. Its low profile design makes this a perfect solution for paediatric seating systems, or those desiring a minimalist look.
Lightweight with uncompromised durability and strength
The Stylo 130 is 33% lighter than the other Stylo mechanisms, weighing a mere 570g, but without compromising on strength and safety, providing a user weight limit of 136kg.
Quick installation with one tool for all adjustments
For ease of Stylo adjustment and fine-tuning to the correct position, there are only two bolts that require one tool – a 5mm Hex/Allen key. Once installed, use the quick release handle to instantly remove or install the mechanism from the mount.Available Support Pad Options:
