#19 of 48 Re: CR-V Head Rest Issue [lpkay] by emehollin Jun 10, 2008 (5:26 pm)
Replying to: lpkay (Jun 09, 2008 6:39 pm) Thanks. Cool looking pillow. Autosportcatalog.com has a couple, too. We found that if she reclined the seat a little more than she was used to, it was more comfortable. We bought the car and she quickly got used to the slightly more reclined seat position and all is well.   Thanks again for your response.

#20 of 48 will pillow strap interfere by deef Jul 29, 2008 (10:16 am)
hi -- my cr-v's book says not to strap or hang anything onto headrest or the safety feature will be interfered with ... thoughts? I don't think i can drive w/out leaning back onto this (as some have written it's not really to be leaned upon) -- so the pillow seems a good option ... this is driving me batty. thanks
#21 of 48 Seat cushion helped by novice_i_am Nov 21, 2008 (9:31 pm)
The head restraint was very uncomfortable for my wife. She got a cushion about 3/4" thick and put it behind her back to move her whole body slightly forward. Restraint is now tolerable; this solution seems superior to reversing head restraint.
#22 of 48 Swapping Head rest by willyb1 Nov 24, 2008 (12:02 am)
I realise that these are for safety but surely they should not cause discomfort and pain to the user. Has anybody tried swapping the headrest from the back seat with the uncomfortable ones in the front?
#23 of 48 Just curious... by dtstof Nov 24, 2008 (6:12 am)
For the people having trouble with the head rests, does your arm rest sit flat, slightly pointed down, or slightly up? Mine is slightly up, and I don't touch the headrest. Maybe the seat back can be adjusted back to clear. I do, however, raise the headrest.

Replying to: emehollin (Jun 10, 2008 5:26 pm) I am 5 ft tall and the headrest is an issue for me as well. I want to buy a CRV, but not until I can find a comfortable seat/headrest position. Reclining the seat does relieve the pressure on my head some, but it makes my lower back hurt. Has anyone tried that neck pillow that was posted? Or bending the bars as suggested? I have used a back cushion before, but it slips around and is inconvenient for getting in and out of the car. I have noticed that taller people have a space between their head and the headrest, but there is negative clearance for short people. Thanks for any other solutions to this problem.

Replying to: ebroaded (Dec 06, 2008 5:55 pm) It's funny. I'm 4'11 and i don't have any issues with my headrest. It only bothers me when i have a pony tail. You might want to try the neck pillow or just roll up a towel and place it in the empty space . I hope you work this out because the Honda CRV isn't the best of SUV's but it's a great one. I hate the material they used in the LX though. It's rough and can cause skin irritations. Good Luck

Replying to: emehollin (Apr 27, 2008 4:41 pm) I purchased a CR-V last week and by the time I got it home, I had a aching and stiff neck and a headache. When I called the Honda place the next day, the salesman just chuckled and said he'd heard that before. He suggested reclining the seat some. Well, I've tried reclining the seat, changing seat heights, and changing head restraint height. Nothing worked.   Reclining the seat just promotes poor posture as it makes you lean forward, curving your back. That's not going to be good. I wonder how long this issue has been going on. My opinion about Honda has really changed due to this simple problem.   And about safety, it's not safe to drive in an ergonomically incorrect position as this can cause serious and painful muscular problems.   I believe I will try calling a car repair shop and see if they have been approached by customers with this problem. Bending the poles was originally what I had thought about, also. I just wouldn't want them to break.

Replying to: tabby2 (Jul 06, 2009 7:01 am) I don't know how tall you are but I'm 4'11/5'0 and I noticed the same thing with the headrest. Funny that I never put two and two together until i purchased a seat cover. It covers the empty space that your neck needs... also a neck pillow wrapped around the headrest works. Hope these suggestion helps. Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Jul 08, 2009 8:58 am) cinglemom (Jul 08, 2009 1:10 pm) blueiedgod (Jul 13, 2009 12:23 pm)
