Abstract
The invention relates to a headrest () for a vehicle seat, comprising a central part () containing a cushion support and a cushion that is held on top of a seat back by means of at least one support rod, the front region of said headrest having a head support region (). The cushion support is optionally pivotally mounted about a horizontal pivoting axis (x). A respective lateral part () is pivotally mounted on each side of the head support region (), about a displacement axis (y), which extends respectively in a lateral direction in relation to the central part () and which is located in the upper region of the central part (). The displacement axis (y) extends obliquely at a first angle (a) to the pivoting axis (x) and to a horizontal projection plane that is common to the pivoting axis (x) and backwards (h) in relation to the head support region (), the displacement axis (y) being situated on a horizontal plane that runs parallel to the pivoting axis (x).
