Lightbulb Here's An Accessory Some of Us Need: Rotary Head Rest "Pillows"

My wife is short; my son is shorter. Both complain that they are not comfortable in the front passenger seat because their heads fall into the plastic rotary hole in the head rest. Does anyone else have this problem?

Here's a challege to DMenac7 and PoLaK or any of the other "DIY" people: a foam rubber or other soft "cap" or "pillow" that fits stylishly in the hole and cushions the head for anyone unfortunate enough to need it. Actually, right now, I'd be interested in any solution. Rotary head-rest "pillows" -- I can see the eBay ad already.

My wife is 5' 6" and complains about not being able to see over the dash in the passenger seat. As a result, she's never driven the "8". Hum ... not such a bad thing after all. Good luck in your search!

my wife complains about this too. if a pillow was designed for that rotary shape in the seat, I would most certainly buy so I could shut my wife's yapper.

I'd buy if it were something that was, well, not so "home-made" looking.

Thanks English... not just for the link, but also for not flaming me with a "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION" comment.

It's a shame the "Similar Threads" function doesn't work better.

I solve this problem buy going out and buying a set of very nice small chenelle pillows from target for 12 bucks. They come in several colors and wrapped in a nice ribbon you can use as a gag for your wife if she's still not happy.
