For cars, they can make design accommodations that fully comply with safety regs while still allowing for differing comfort preferences, such as the ability to slide the headrest a bit forward. I think it is not always just the headrest, but the seat back as well which, depending on angle, curvature and padding (or lack of it) plays a big part in it too. If you buy a cheap car you shouldn’t expect too much, but in a brand that markets itself in the premium category they should do better to address the issue.

Never mind if suddenly started displaying properly!
And then it stopped! Weird forum SW. It looks correct when I’m editing but when I save it puts junk where my quotes & commas are

Had the same problem, headrest pushed my head too far forward. I raised the headrest up one notch. Due to the angle of construction of the headrest, this bought me some more room and it was comfortable. 2021 es 350

None of this generation ES Ultra Luxury models have headrests/restraints with fore and aft adjustments. The 2019 to 2022 F Sport models are the ones with headrests/restraints with fore and aft adjustments. I assume that carried forward with the split of F Sport model offerings for 2023 and later model years into F Sport Design and F Sport Handling model types but haven't seen anyone confirming that.

I think the issue is people want to be coddled and lean back during their commutes.
There are precise measurements in terms of contact time and tension/compression/force which greatly are dependent on the headrest and seatback angle combo. Any deviation in this due to modifications can significantly increase your risk of injury.
Picture your head being gently "caught" in head rest as soon as movement begins gradually loading up vs. your head slamming into the headrest that's farther away and rebounding off it. Lets set aside the neck for a bit... that's also your brain bouncing around too.
Keep these things stock, folks. Teams and teams of people with supercomputers designed it like that for a reason. Same with any stock seat of any car.

FYI - this is how someone else, with another car, fixed the problem. Not sure if something similar would work for you:

I wonder how they look and feel in real life, and how quickly they deflate and just look like saggy cheap pillows, all the while reminding me of what a certain type of driver hangs from the hitch on his pickup truck.

haha yeah at first it reminded me of ball S*** too. But color match is very close to seat color and they are very comfy. It’s like having my mypillow for your head/neck. Has good latching straps and not a rubber band that sagged over time

Do you actually have one? Can you post a pic for us?
