Maax Spas parts and accessories

Hot tub shells and cabinets tend to outlive the soft parts fitted to them. Pillows, headrests and the decorative inserts clipped into them sit at the waterline, take the full dose of sunlight, sanitiser and skin oils, and are handled every time someone climbs in or out. They are usually the first components an owner replaces, long before anything mechanical needs attention. Here you will find the Maax Spas headrest components listed on this page, together with the information needed to work out whether a part matches the pillow already fitted to your spa.

Because several spa ranges have shared trim and headrest designs over the years, a single insert can fit pillows carrying more than one badge. The item listed here is described as suiting both Maax Spas and Coleman headrests, which is a common situation in the hot tub world and one worth bearing in mind when searching by brand alone.

What a pillow medallion insert is

A spa pillow is normally built from a moulded cushion with a mounting system on the back and a decorative centre panel on the front. That centre panel — the medallion or badge insert — is a separate piece that clips, pushes or snaps into a recess in the face of the cushion. It is purely cosmetic, but it is also the part most likely to go missing: it is small, it sits proud of the surface, and it can pop out when a pillow is pulled off for cleaning or when a towel catches it.

Replacing just the insert is the sensible first step when the cushion itself is still sound. The foam or urethane body may be perfectly serviceable while the centre panel is faded, cracked or simply gone, leaving an empty recess in the headrest.

• Medallion inserts – the removable centre badge or trim panel that finishes the front face of a headrest.
• Pillow cushions – the moulded body that carries the insert and the mounting hardware.
• Ferragens de Montagem – pins, clips, suction fittings or threaded studs that hold the pillow to the shell.

Identifying the right insert

Hot tub pillows have changed shape many times across model years, so matching on appearance alone is risky. Work through the following before ordering.

• Part number first – where a number such as 106950 is moulded or printed on the back of the existing insert or cushion, it is the most reliable match there is.
• Measure the recess – with the old insert removed, measure the width, height and depth of the opening in the pillow face, not the outside of the pillow.
• Check the fixing style – look at how the original was retained: push-fit lugs, snap tabs or an adhesive seat all behave differently.
• Note the pillow shape – single or double curve, square or rounded ends, and whether the headrest wraps over the shell lip.
• Keep the old piece – even a broken insert gives you the outline, the thickness and often the number.

If the spa has been bought second hand and no numbers survive, photograph the pillow from the front, from the back and from the side with a tape measure alongside. Those three images answer most fitment questions.

Keeping headrests in good condition

Spa pillows last far longer when they are lifted clear of the water line. Remove them before shocking the water or raising sanitiser levels sharply, and take them off entirely if the tub is to stand unused for a long period. Wipe with a soft cloth and plain water rather than solvents or household cleaners, which can dull the surface and attack the adhesive behind an insert. Letting pillows dry fully before refitting discourages mildew in the recess, and checking that the insert is seated squarely stops it working loose again.

Here we list Maax Spas headrest components, including the pillow medallion insert 106950 that also suits Coleman headrests. The focus is on the small cosmetic and trim pieces that are easy to lose and awkward to source locally, rather than on complete spa assemblies.

Parts are listed with their manufacturer numbers so that an insert can be matched against the one already in the pillow, which is the quickest way to avoid a return. If the number on your existing part is unreadable, the measurements of the recess and the fixing style will usually be enough to narrow the choice down.
