A rear-center head restraint system for an automobile vehicle includes a rear seatback of an automobile vehicle. A head restraint assembly is mounted on the rear seatback and is moved between a stowed position and a deployed position. The head restraint assembly includes a forward head restraint portion displaced from the stowed position in an upward direction and in a forward direction with respect to the rear seatback. A rear head restraint portion is positioned rearward of the forward head restraint portion and is displaced in the upward direction as the forward head restraint portion displaces away from the stowed position. At least one headrest post is fixedly positioned within the rear seat back. A release mechanism connected to the at least one headrest post is operated to release the head restraint assembly from the stowed position.

A seating assembly comprises: a head restraint that can be both separated from a seatback to a separated position, and remotely actuated via a user-accessible manipulable device located away from the head restraint to move the head restraint to a folded position when coupled to the seatback in an extending position. A cable of the seatback is not operably coupled with the head restraint when the user-accessible manipulable device is not manipulated but becomes operably coupled with the head restraint, when the user-accessible manipulable device is manipulated and the head restraint is in the extending position, to cause the head restraint to move from an upright position to the folded position. The cable of the seatback extends into a post receiver and operably couples with the head restraint within the post receiver when the head restraint is in the extending position and the user-accessible manipulable device is manipulated.

A motor-vehicle seat, in particular a rear motor-vehicle seat, includes a backrest frame having an upper cross-member, and a headrest connected to the upper cross-member and tiltable between an upright operative position and an inoperative position rotated forwardly relative to the operative position. The headrest is rotatably mounted on the upper cross-member of the backrest frame, whereby it is adapted to tilt between its operative and inoperative positions around a transversal axis which is vertically located substantially at the same height of the cross-member.

A vehicle seating assembly includes an upper seatbase pivotably coupled to a lower seatbase at a front end by a front hinge. The lower seatbase is slidably coupled to a rail. A seatback is pivotably coupled to a rear end of the upper seatbase by a rear hinge.

A passenger seat for a vehicle includes a head restraint positioned at an upper portion of the passenger seat and a lateral head support selectively configurable between a deployed configuration in which the lateral head support provides lateral support for at least one side of a passenger head and a stowed configuration in which the lateral support collapses into the passenger seat such that the lateral head support no longer provides lateral support for a passenger head.

A headrest assembly is provided herein. A headrest is coupled to a seatback. The seatback includes a housing. The headrest is movable between a first position wherein the headrest is exposed above the seatback, and a second position wherein the headrest is concealed within the housing. A top of the headrest is flush with a top of the seatback while in the second position.
