I hate those headrests. They force my neck forward into an unnatural position making it impossible to sleep that way. I’d prefer no headrest at all. If I am serious about sleeping on a flight, I have to rest forward on the food tray. This is also impossible sometimes, depending on the space and whether the seat is reclined. Anyway, that’s just me. I’m not saying an airplane should be tailored to my personal needs. I just don’t think there’s a solution that satisfies everyone or aside from bunk beds, and good luck with that.

Exact same situation. I can't imagine how people can find headrests in airplane comfortable unless they're leaning back at a 180 degree angle and just using it as a pillow, or they have a completely flat head. For people with round noggins, it just pushes our heads forward. Even trying to lean my seat back with the generous 2 degrees of space given, my head still tilts forward. Then right when I start dozing off, I get caught in a wake-sleep 60 second loop where I'm just about to fall asleep, but my head drops (since it's being pushed forward and my muscles spontaneously relax), then my body instantly wakes up to pull my head back up. This cycle gives me incredible neck pain. They're torture devices. Just give me a flat seat with a slight lean back. The pictures in the article look good, but I know they're going to find some way to screw it up. They have to in order to push people to business class.
