Anyone know if the F Sport headrest is compatible with the non-f sport seat? Can't understand why Lexus makes the headrest adjustable on the F Sport and not on the Luxury model.

stopped by the dealer today, and the F sport headrests do, in fact, fit the non-f sport seats. Now to stop by parts department and see how much they're gonna gouge for them.....

plus the stitching, shade and leather are probably different . F sport has different leather than regular premium grade leathers.

I test drive the 2017 RX350 for 6 days. The only thing I don't like most - the headrest. It angled-downward, too tall to see the rear, and not adjustable.
I own a 2004 RX330, which is comfortable and angle-adjustable, ergonomic shaped. My wife drives a 2014 RAV4 has the same uncomfortable headrest design.
This new headrest caused me headache. I found all Toyota and Lexus SUV have the same headrest design. I don't want to buy a vehicle which causes me headache and uncomfortable.

The "headrest" is integral to the safety systems design to limit whiplash injuries.
On the RX (and other Lexus models) you can pull the cushion forward through four (4)
positions. When pulled fully forward it will then snap back to the furthest rear spot.
You should set it as far forward as is comfortable to minimize injuries.

I do find it weird that Lexus decided to put different headrests on non F-sport RX models. The headrests on my GS350 F-sport, mom's ES350, and sister's NX200t F-sport all have the "four positions" headrest. Dad's RX350 Luxury doesn't have it and he uses a small pillow attached to the headrests for support.

Go online to ebay and look for a headrest for sale from a different model Lexi and just replace those with the ones you have. It should fit fine as long as its a lexus. My cousin did this to his lexi 4GS fsport because he prefers the luxury GS headrest comapared to the fsport one.

As long as you don't get Noble Brown, you can find the adjustable headrests in the other available colors.

can you post where you found these? I've searched ebay, craigslist and even scrap parts. I HATE the non-f sport head rest and don't care to drop $500 from lexus parts to get one...
