Abstract
Abstract Headrest for motor vehicle seats wherein the cushion (14) is connected to the support structure (12) so as to be able to assume, in use, a lowered position for relaxation in which one of its ends (14a, 14b) rests upon the upper zone of the surface of the backrest (S) against which the back of the user bears, starting from a normal erect position of use in which it is disposed above the backrest (S).
