One of the few things I genuinely dislike about my Mazda5 is that the headrests are angled forward way too aggressively. I sit pretty upright and the headrests basically force me into a forward head posture. Anyone have an alternative they like?

 

Head rest in most all Mazda are a metal weld frame. Any upholstery shop can remove the soft shell and replace it with something that will change the configuration. The frame can also be bent to conform to a better position for your personal needs. I have modified a few rear head rests and installed speakers. The help with sound imaging because the sound would go directly towards the ear of the drive and front passenger. Normally when I do a project like that, I buy a used headrest from ebay or my local auto-recylers which ever I can can a inexpensive head rest for the project. Generally, head rest will run about $35-55 each. I just picked up a set of rears for my Mazda to do a speaker project. I did not want to use my perfect Mazda head rests. In my case those resr were removed and stored the first month after I bought my Mazda New. I did not like the reduction in the viewing out the rear window.
