Sliding sleeve and headrest arrangement

A guide sleeve, for receiving a rod of a headrest, includes a sleeve body that has a rod receptacle for receiving the rod and an elastic region that is force-loaded in a direction of the rod receptacle in order to fix the rod in the rod receptacle. A spring element arranged on the outer contour of the sleeve body spring-loaded the elastic region. The spring element has a contact region adjacent to the elastic region, is configured as a clip that partially embraces the sleeve body and has a width in a sleeve body axial direction. The spring element includes a strip main body and the contact region is configured as a protuberance between two first bending points extending across the entire width of the main body. A vehicle seat for a motor vehicle has a backrest and a headrest, wherein the guide sleeve fastens the headrest to the backrest.
