Any headrests from other cars fit our OEM seats?

I did that for a few years, until I realized the whiplash danger I was exposing myself to. I have a long neck.

At least in GEN1 it was my understanding it specifically designed for that purpose (being turned around when you were wearing a helmet). There was a good discussion on that with some of the Toyota staff at the First86 Long Beach event in 2012.

Wouldn't that be fixed by getting a HANS device?

I guess this is where I’m kinda of an odd ball in that I like to have at least some support for my head even with a helmet on. The Camry headrest is super plush and I really like the feeling of having my helmet against it.

This is a great point but the HANS device I would need to buy would be the one that goes behind your back (Simpson S or whatever it’s called) as I use the OEM seatbelt. I could get a harness bar to rock a harness but I’m a worry wart who would prefer to have a welded half cage instead in the off chance the car rolls and my neck is fixed in place and at the mercy of a collapsing roof. I do wear one of those go karting neck braces though.
