Abstract

The invention relates to a headrest (10) for a vehicle seat, comprising a central part (11) containing a cushion support and a cushion that is held on top of a seat back by means of at least one support rod, the front region of said headrest having a head support region (17). The cushion support is optionally pivotally mounted about a horizontal pivoting axis (x). A respective lateral part (12) is pivotally mounted on each side of the head support region (17), about a displacement axis (y), which extends respectively in a lateral direction in relation to the central part (11) and which is located in the upper region of the central part (11). The displacement axis (y) extends obliquely at a first angle (a) to the pivoting axis (x) and to a horizontal projection plane that is common to the pivoting axis (x) and backwards (h) in relation to the head support region (17), the displacement axis (y) being situated on a horizontal plane that runs parallel to the pivoting axis (x).
