Provided is a vehicle seat device that includes a headrest to support a head of an occupant seated on a vehicle seat. The vehicle seat device includes a rest operation adjustment mechanism provided on the headrest and to restrict or allow movement of the head of the occupant seated on the vehicle seat and a controller that controls the rest operation adjustment mechanism to allow the movement of the head of the occupant when a frequency of a vibration in a width direction of a vehicle is equal to or larger than a predetermined value.

A sleeve device for a headrest includes a sleeve body for insertion into a vehicle seat. The sleeve body includes a tubular wall describing an inner axial passage configured to receive a rod of the headrest, and having an upper portion, a lower portion, and a central portion between the upper and lower portions; and at least one elongate rib member overmoulded to an inner surface or an outer surface of the tubular wall and extending along the tubular wall, preferably between the lower portion and the upper portion, wherein the at least one rib member is configured to contact an outer surface of the rod when extending along the inner surface, or is configured to engage an external component, for example the frame of the vehicle seat, when extending along the outer surface.

A holder is removable from a seatback frame. The seatback frame has a back plate, a top plate extending from an upper portion of the back plate toward a front side, and a fixing plate provided below the top plate and extending from the back plate toward the front side. The top plate has two insertion holes into which two holders can be inserted from above. The fixing plate is configured so as to be able to fix the end portions of the two holders inserted through the insertion holes of the top plate.
