Abstract
A vehicle seat assembly includes a seat back with a support post vertically adjustable with respect to the seat back. A cushioned base is non-movably mounted to the support post and covered by a trim cover material. The base includes first and second ends. A U-shaped headrest has opposing ends pivotally connected to the first and second ends of the base, respectively. The U-shaped headrest is covered by a trim cover material and is pivotally movable between an upright position for use and a horizontal position for seat tumbling. The base and U-shaped headrest cooperate to form an opening therebetween for improved visibility when the U-shaped headrest is in the upright position.
