I'm looking for a tool free adjustable wheelchair headrest.

Every so often I find mom's headrest has been knocked off kilter. I'm concerned because it is bolted in place and the force required to shift it is considerable, it must happen when they use the lift to get her in and out... that's got to hurt. My thought is that if they could easily tip the headrest out of the way and back again then it might save mom's back.
(Of course they could just tilt the chair first and watch what they are doing )

I have a smaller version at the moment and it is great. But I think I will be getting the full length one too.
Thank you for this topic cwille :)

That is cool BuzzyBee, I think a lot of people in a NH could use something like that!

Looked on Amazon and got this BCOZZY Chin Supporting Travel Pillow - Supports the Head, Neck and Chin in Maximum Comfort in Any Sitting Position. A Patented Product. Adult Size, GRAY. Ebay had a lot of types but it would also depend on the type of wheelchair. Would your mum wear the travel cushion? Good luck

That's OK ff, even if such a thing exists I kinds think they wouldn't use it properly anyway.
