headrest for 08 Camry?

Just bought an 08 Camry CE and the headrest is giving me neck pain. It's pushing my head forward. For those of you who don't have a problem with this, lucky you! I've read other posts about this issue but there weren't any good, solid solutions. Tried reversing the headrest but then it's too far back for me. Does anyone know for sure what other headrests will fit the new Camrys? Please give year and model. Thanks a mil!

Don't rest your head while driving.

The headrest is to keep your head from popping off in a rearend wreck. Read your OM concerning seating position.

Well congrats on the purchase...don't forget you can tilt the headrest. I really can not see how, if the back of the seat and headrest are adjusted propperly, it can push your head forward...something is not right here

Your wide open for the EGG HEAD thing here. So maybe it is not the head rest its your head. sorry man I had to do this ET might have a problem also.
But if you could put a beed cover on the seat like a hack driver. Do you wear a turbin ? The head rest is most likely foam and a furniture refinish shop could cut it to fit thats for real. I ride around like the LOW RIDER with my head back and no problems and I had a broken neck several years back.

I am with you, did not intend to support that thought. Just sounds arkward that the head rest causes that kind of problem.

Motortrend magazine january 2008 page 41 head games, no rest for whiplash-protected noggin.

I am comfortable with the setup but see were it would bother different body type body build. Broad shoulders, neck length, hat size etc.
