  • Publication number: 20150375648
    Abstract: A headrest (1) for a vehicle includes a headrest body (2), a headrest mounting (3), and an outer face fitting (4). A connecting part (5), within the headrest body (2) connects the headrest mounting (3) to the headrest body (2). The connecting part (5) is made of a first foam material produced within the fitting (4) in a pour-in-place method. A support element (8), which is made of a second foam material, is arranged on an inner face of the fitting (4) in a supporting region (SB), which is provided for supporting the head of a passenger, between the connecting part (5) and the fitting (4). The first foam material has a greater strength, in particular a greater compressive strength, and a greater indentation hardness than the second foam material. A method for producing a headrest (1) for a vehicle is also provided.
