I guess it’s a personal setting - but I find that the front seat head restraints angle is too far forward for ideal comfort. Unfortunately they only adjust for height.

unfortunately I find the opposite in most head restraints, however at least I could order a pillow to bring it forwards. Could it possibly be taken out and spun around.
 
I find it seems to stick quite far forward too, but I've not tried adjusting it - I leave it as my wife likes everything set and just put up with it!

I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll take a look.

I think many people think the same, but headrests, although the name implies, were not designed for comfort, they are primarily there to prevent whiplash in an accident.
 
Yes - that’s why I called them head restraints, but it would be nice to have them set a little bit further back - some have forward adjustment but not ours. Not a major issue but on a longer journey my neck is at a slightly forward angle and not ideal ?

maybe recline your seat a little so your head is not leaning into the head restraint

I had the same problem going over a bump it would hit me on the back of the head( they are very hard) I found reclining the back of the seat very slightly solved my problem
 
I maybe need to grow some broader shoulders and a bigger back. Gym sessions booked!??

I have a similar problem going over bumps, but it's SWMBO that hits me on the back of the head.
 
Never found the headrests to be an issue....but I would like to be able to lower the center console though ?

Are the rear seat ones better?
can one be swapped?

For me I think their fine.
