Car Headrest Position to Prevent Whiplash<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"2022<\/figure>
\n

A headrest\u2019s primary purpose is to prevent whiplash. To do so effectively, the top of the headrest must come up to at least the top of your ears\u2014preferably to the top of your head\u2014and be within two to four inches of the back of your head. This is true for both the front and rear seats. The positioning always assumes that your seatbelt is on and properly adjusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automakers, like Mercedes-Benz, take proper headrest positioning into account when designing their vehicles. Your headrest is designed to be most comfortable when properly positioned, so you don\u2019t have to sacrifice comfort for safety. They go hand in hand. For those who tend to leave their headrests all the way down, you may be missing out on an important safety feature and a more comfortable driving experience.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
