Uncomfortable Headrests

Does anyone else find the headrests in your coupe really uncomfortable?

I can't sit back have my head supported while still seeing the dials. I don't think I sit with the chair leaned back too far, but I do feel like the lumbar support and shape of the seats bend my back a little strange and force my neck back if I lay back entirely. I've seen the neck support pads that some people add to the seats. Maybe I should get some. I am 5' 10".

Opinions?

The main purpose of the headrest is in case of being hit from behind in an accident, your neck doesnt snap back. Ive never met anyone who actually uses them to rest your head on...This may be a first

Auto seats/headrests were never designed for you to drive with your head resting on the headrests. Our seats are totally adjustable for comfortable driving but also intended to keep you alert not put you to sleep. Like our members mentioned, headrests are to keep you from breaking you neck in an accident. This isn't your recliner chair in front of your big screen....

Yup. Not a fan of the lettering though.

It must be a function of the way I sit, but I feel the seat curving my upper back too much, so that the lower back hutrts. It's only really noticeable on long trips, but It would be nice to be a little more comfortable.
