IMO, the type-s headrests look at lot better than those on the TL-P, but they're not nearly as comfortable. Anyone else feel this way?

BJSTLS

Never even thought about it..... I don't lean my head back on it very often. I guess if I were to compare quality of sleep when I camp out in the 2 cars, you would be right on the money!

ndawood

if you want comfort sit in the back seats!!!! i sat back there for the first time a few weeks ago... and ive had the car for a little over a year now!!

crazym0nkey

I bet you didn't notice that the backseat headrest behind the driver's side is bigger than the passenger's side backseat headrest!!

Trip off this one: take off the headrests, move the seats forward then lay the backs all the way down... great for the late night B-call, just pop in the dvd and sit back in your twin Lay-Z-Boy.

fpique

Who would sit on the head rests...?






naw

t0ast

That and the headrests are offset as well. Stupid b*tch-seat belt makes things uneven. Gotta give props to Acura for making it unnoticable unless you're anal when doing mod work back there.

eh!curaplus

i've conditioned the back seats twice and havent noticed it at all....... gotta check this one ASAP!

bigman

i have noticed the seats in the past. I couldnt sleep for days when i noticed it.

stiletto

y'all ruinned the back seat for me....

darkfox12

yea the tl-p headrests are more comfortable, its b/c its the prem. ed. the S is the "sports" edition so the seats are supposed to be more sporty i guess.

Will tl-s headrests fit on 2001 tl-p seats?

goldendragon576

they should fit. As for the back seat, I never sat back there but I think I'm going to jump back there just for the heck of it.

ndawood

i almost killed myself today on the way to school staring at the head rests in the back... i cant believe that they are different sizes and i didnt even notice.... anyways now i gotta pay more attention to the road i guess....

55M2G7L

im gonna see if i can find some tl-s headrest

@cUr@-TL

I'll trade my perfectly good, 2K2 TL-s parchment headrests for perfectly good 2k2 TL parchment headrests (if they fit).

Logic717

Do they make headrests for the TL-P that can adjust forward and backward? I find that mine are way too far back to rest my head on while driving

55M2G7L

Ebony? but mine are 2001...

That's odd, mine adjust fwd and back!

Logic717

Yeah, I just learned today that the 99-01's don't but the 02 and up do adjust forward and backward... I wonder if the 02's could fit on mine?

Bluegrass

I never thought about it until just now, but i've never sat in my back seats.

JPritch

Logic, I have an '03, but my headrests don't adjust fwd/bck???

The backseat is comfy as hell, even the passenger seat. I finally handed the keys over to my lady this summer(after two years of only ME driving) and the front pass seat was very comfy!!! I then visited my parents and let my Dad drive with my Mom in the front, so I had an opportunity to sit in the back. It felt like I was being chouffered around!

spl1011

I had to sleep in my backseat at a rest stop one night. Very roomy back there :-)

Vicman17

IMO the Type-S headrests are nice looking but not much help especially if adding comfort to driving, etc.. I agree that the TL-P headrests work much better. I was impressed with the 3rd Gen headrests tho.. They are way more functional than the 2nd Gen and they tilt too...

This small bonus makes the driving experience much better.

Coopcar

They are 'Head Restraints', not head rests.....bozos.

But you still know what we're talking about, right?

It might technically be "head restraint", but it's very common to say headrest. I don't know about you, but I sure rest my head on the thing a lot more than it "restrains" my head. No accidents yet for me, and until I get into an accident where it actually "restrains" my head, I'll continue calling the damned things "headrests".

Coopcar

I know what you mean. My issue is not with people wanting them to look better, or calling them 'head rests'.

My issue is that people are talking about which is more comfortable. If you are pulling over for a nap, that's one thing, but to rest your head on it while you drive is not smart.

They are there for a reason, and that reason is not to help you relax while you are driving.

Got an issue with that?

I drive with my seat set as far upright as it goes, which I'm guessing most people don't do. I do this because it keeps me sitting up and alert and i feel like i'm more in control. So yeah, my head is always against the headrest and the comfort makes a huge difference to me.

Vicman17

I agree with you. I don't think drivers should in any way consider them as devices to make driving in comfort. But nevertheless, when doing long drives, I tend to "rest" my head on it to take the pressure off my neck and shoulders. If the the headrest (yes Acura.com calls it such) is adjustable enough that I don't need to lean my head back the better it is for me. And yes, in case of an accident it should prevent neck whiplash injuries if used properly.

Quoting Intellichoice.com this is on their website:

"Head Restraints
These are popularly known as "head rests," a terrible misnomer. Their purpose is not to give your head a place to rest, but to prevent it from snapping back sharply in a rear-end collision. Light trucks must have front-seat head restraints; though they're not mandatory, look for them on other seats as well. If a head restraint is adjustable, it should be adjusted high enough (about ear level) and far enough forward to touch the occupant's head, not his or her neck. Saab and Volvo are also offering a "whiplash protection system" that allows the seat back and head restraint to automatically shift rearward during a rear-end collision, thus absorbing some of the force and protecting the occupants from neck injury. "
