With correctly adjusted headrests the car driver reduces the force on the cervical spine in case of sudden vehicle movements. This makes headrests a direct protection device for the protection of the vehicle occupants in accidents. The headrests that can be adjusted electrically or manually in height and inclination should be adjusted so that the crown height of the head coincides with the top edge of the headrest. In order for their protective function to be fully effective, you should tilt the headrest so that your back of the head is no more than a few centimeters away from it.
