Adjustable Head Support Hardware for Wheelchair Seating

The Matrx Elan Headrest Hardware is designed to provide secure, customizable head support positioning within a wheelchair seating system. Its multi-point adjustment design helps position the headrest pad for comfort, postural alignment, and functional support.

This adjustability is especially helpful when the user needs a head support system that can be fine-tuned around seating posture, head position, visual orientation, and daily comfort. The compact hardware profile also helps keep the setup clean and streamlined while still offering strong positioning capability.

Six Points of Adjustment for Precise Positioning

The Elan Headrest Hardware offers six points of adjustment, giving seating professionals and caregivers a wide range of positioning options. Adjustment points allow the headrest to be angled, rotated, and positioned to better match the user’s needs.

The hardware provides rotation and tilt adjustment at key connection points, including 360° rotation, 180° adjustment, 100° adjustment, 80° tilt, 50° tilt, and 360° rotation in 90° increments. These adjustment options help create a more personalized head support setup while maintaining secure hardware positioning.

Secure Multi-Disk Locking Design

The Elan hardware uses a multi-disk locking system to provide strong holding power once the headrest has been positioned. This helps keep the head support stable during daily wheelchair use and reduces the likelihood of unwanted movement after adjustment.

For users who depend on consistent head positioning, the locking system helps support comfort, alignment, and confidence throughout the day. For clinical and facility settings, it also gives seating teams a reliable hardware platform for setup, adjustment, and ongoing use.

Easy Setup with Optional Tool-Less Levers

The Matrx Elan Headrest Hardware is designed for efficient single-tool setup, helping simplify installation and adjustment during fitting. Optional tool-less adjustment levers are provided for situations where easier position changes are preferred.

This combination gives users and seating teams flexibility: the hardware can be securely set up with a tool, while the optional levers can make certain adjustments faster and more convenient when appropriate.

Compatibility

The Invacare Matrx Elan Headrest Hardware is designed for compatible Invacare Matrx seating systems and Matrx Elan headrest pads. Headrest pads are sold separately and should be selected based on the user’s support goals, pad style, and sizing needs.

Because wheelchair backs, mounting interfaces, and head support configurations can vary, confirm compatibility before ordering. Professional installation or setup by an experienced seating provider is recommended to ensure the hardware is properly attached, adjusted, and secured.

Compatibility with Select Non-Matrx Backrests

The Matrx Elan Headrest Hardware may also be compatible with select non-Matrx backrests when the mounting interface is appropriate. Compatibility can vary depending on the backrest brand, mounting-hole spacing, available attachment surface, and whether adapter or conversion hardware is required.

For non-Matrx seating setups, confirm the backrest mounting pattern and headrest pad interface before ordering. Some configurations may require a separately sold conversion kit to connect the Elan hardware properly.
