I hate those long distance busses. If you sit up straight, the headrest is in your back. If you slouch down to get your head at the headrest so you can get some rest, the question becomes where to put your legs without pain and discomfort.

Its even worse when you're taller than the designer expected and sitting up straight leaning back just means tilting my head backwards over the headrest.
Crash test ratings probably.
So your neck doesn't whip back and keeps your spine in line.
I hate this so much
Does anyone else have the opposite problem? I feel like head rests are always too far back. If I place my head flat against them then more often than not I'm in an uncomfortable driving position because my neck is tilted back and up. I have to lean forward to drive most cars and it really annoys me.
Edit: I'm starting to think that a lot of you drive with the seat in an upright position. I sit at a slight recline because it's easier on my back. Maybe that's the problem. Try reclining more.
No. That's crazy talk.

Everyone should take this moment to consider correct posture.
One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was to change the angle of my rear-view mirror to remind myself to sit straight.
In essence, try to force the lowest part of your neck to touch the heighest point on the headrest.
Then notice how you cannot see out of your rear view mirror. Adjust it from this position, and get used to it.
It's gonna be weird for a while, but I assure you, this is what is best for your spine. I'll take your gratitude in advance, for when you're 80 and not folded over.

I don't think my head ever touches my headrest when I'm driving. Rarely, I'll lean back while sitting still, but that's the only time I'm ever even aware of it.
This is correct. The headrest is meant for you to bang your head on in frustration while stuck in traffic

Also office chairs with headrests, for whatever reason.
Car head rests, couches, waiting room chairs. This world was not built for tall people
To protect you from whiplash. Just so you know, the seats are adjustable...

Same thing on planes.
"They need something to rest their head on!" --> adds something that nobody asked for and nobody needs --> "I'm helping you :) "

Because you haven't adjusted it right?
Well it fits my posture perfectly 🤷♂️
It’s designed to be slightly uncomfortable to keep people from falling asleep at the wheel.
