A headrest assembly includes a headrest body as well as a first support arm with a seatback rear support connection to a rear of a seatback and a cantilevered portion extending upwardly to a first headrest connection end. A second support arm has a rear seatback support connection and a cantilevered portion extending upwardly to a second headrest connection end. The first headrest connection end and the second headrest connection end are spaced apart a distance in the lateral direction to form a support connection. An adjustable connection is provided between the headrest body and the support connection. The adjustable connection includes a height adjustment means for adjusting a position of the headrest body relative to the support connection in a height direction.

There is provided a vehicle seat including: a seatback frame of a seatback that supports a back area of a vehicle occupant, the seatback frame including: a left and right pair of side frame portions spaced apart in a seat width direction; and an upper frame portion that joins between end portions, at a seat upper side, of the left and right pair of side frame portions in the seat width direction, a headrest that supports a head area of the vehicle occupant being supported at the upper frame portion; and a plastic deformation portion provided at the upper frame portion, the plastic deformation portion being plastically deformed and moving at least a portion of the upper frame portion toward a seat rear side together with the headrest, when a load toward the seat rear side that exceeds a predetermined value is applied to the plastic deformation portion.

A headrest assembly moveable in a cross-car direction along an upper portion of a seatback. The headrest assembly includes a seatback track member and a headrest track member that are operably connected for relative sliding movement therebetween. Movement of the headrest assembly in the cross-car direction can be automated via a motor and a controller. Certain safety features may be implemented such as a maximum range of motion of the headrest assembly in accordance with specific software implemented instructions. Stored profiles are accessible such that each headrest assembly associated with a passenger's seat can be moved into preferred locations for minimum visual obstruction when not in use. In addition, movement of the headrest assembly in the cross-car direction can also be effectuated manually.

The present invention relates to a head rest arrangement for a vehicle seat and a vehicle seat comprising such head rest. The head rest arrangement comprises a cushion portion and a back portion. The head rest arrangement further comprises a displacement arrangement enabling at least the cushion portion to be displaced between at least a first position and a second position with respect to the vehicle seat after being mounted thereto. The displacement arrangement comprising a lock mechanism adapted to lock the cushion portion in the first position and the second position. The displacement arrangement comprises an actuator operable by a user to unlock the lock mechanism. The actuator is made from a compliant material and actuated via a pulling force in a first direction.
