Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) 2005 Plus 4 headrests

I have a Morgan plus 4 (2005). The seats are actually ok, but when set in a good comfortable reclined position for driving, the headrests are useless. There’s no chance of resting your head against them unless you’re looking at the sky ! It would appear that the stems should really have a small kick in them just under headrest ?
Has anyone solved this problem?

I can't take the credit for coming up with this potential solution as it was gifted from a friend when they sold their Morgan. I had it recoloured to match our interior. It was specially made by an upholsterer and simply wraps around the existing headrest and is secured with velcro .

My understanding was that headrests were not actually for resting your head on, but just to protect your neck in an accident. They prevent your head from being flung backwards too far and potentially damaging your spine.

I don't have headrests in my Mog but do in my MG. In normal driving my head is nowhere near them

Correct they are for safety not comfort

These neck rolls are another solution offered by Allon White.



I believe they just hook over OE headrest stalks.

Not head rest but head restraints.

OK …… thanks all. Well I’ll be ! …….. has only taken me 50+ years of driving to learn this !

Yep .... Hans-device for sneak attacks!! 🙂

If you need to rest your head i suggest you stop for a snooze
