Abstract
A headrest for supportably engaging a person's head at rest to substantially inhibit neck strain is disclosed. In one embodiment, the headrest includes a center portion for supporting a neck portion of a person's head and first and second wing portions for supporting first and second side portions, respectively, of the person's head, and padding covering at least a portion of the center portion and the first and second wing portions. In another embodiment, the center portion is located distally relative to the first and second wing portions, and is adapted to frictionally and/or abuttingly engage the back surface of a seatback to releasably secure the headrest to a seatback. In this embodiment, the headrest includes substantially U-shaped first and second intermediate portions extending between the first and second wing portions and first and second end portions of the center portion, respectively, for pinching or compressively engaging front and back surfaces of an upper portion of the seatback.
