Abstract: The present invention provides a headrest that is low-cost but still provides impact mitigation performance, and a vehicle seat having this headrest. A headrest of a vehicle seat includes: a headrest frame that is formed of at least one plate material and is fixed to a seatback frame of the vehicle seat; a pad that covers the headrest frame; and a skin that covers the pad. A contact section is provided at the lower part of the headrest frame, said lower part being located on the seatback-frame side, and the contact section is located closer to the rear surface of the headrest than the upper part of the headrest frame is, said upper part being located on the opposite side to the seatback-frame side.

Abstract: Projections capable of crushing a rear windowpane upon crash of a vehicle are arranged on a back of a stay embedded in a pad of a headrest. Thus, when the headrest strongly hits the rear windowpane upon crash of the vehicle, the rear windowpane is crushed by the projections in the form of metal pieces on upper rear portions of vertical stay portions of the stay, so that great impact is prevented from being applied on a head of an occupant.
