headrest

Seat-top neck support

A headrest is a padded support for the head, typically attached to the top of a seat.

In cars, headrests prevent whiplash during collisions by limiting how far the head snaps backward.

Chairs, dentist seats, and airplane seats may also have headrests: She adjusted the headrest before the long drive.
