    Does anyone else have the opposite problem? I feel like head rests are* always too far back. If I place my head flat against them then more often than not I’m in an uncomfortable driving position because my neck is tilted back and up. I have to lean forward to drive most cars and it really annoys me.

    Edit: I’m starting to think that a lot of you drive with the seat in an upright position. I sit at a slight recline because it’s easier on my back. Maybe that’s the problem.

      Older cars were like that, but more recently usually have headsets that can adjust forward and back

        Define “older”. I’ve never owned a car newer than 10 years old, and plenty of 10-15 year old cars have this problem.

      Perhaps you live in a place with different vehicle safety requirements. In the US, uncomfortable forward-tilted headrests are mandated by the federal government.
