Hi Guys,

I have tan leather seats with a standard type head restraint. I say restraint as it is more of a safety device and doesn't really lend itself to being used as a rest with any degree of comfort. I have seen pictures of the new active head rests, which give the impression you could comfortably rest your head.

Basically, what options do I have for changing my head restraints to head rests (new or recon - I don't mind as long as the colour matches) that would allow me to nestle my head back whilst I drive in comfort?

Help appreciated.


BTW: I live in the UK (so UK outlets preferred). Therefore it is not an option for me to travel the length and breadth of the USA to find parts............................................. .although that does sound like fun.
