Abstract

The invention relates to a base body of a headrest of a vehicle seat having a base, particularly for receiving headrest carriers for arranging the headrest at a vehicle seat, and a support body having a support surface for a head. In order to provide a base body for a headrest and a headrest, which in the case of a crash reduces the risk of cervical spine injuries, it is provided that the support body is connected to the base such that the support surface is elastically adjustable relative to the base.

a base, particularly for receiving a headrest carrier for disposing the headrest on a vehicle seat, and

a support body having a support surface for a head,

wherein the support body is connected to the base such that the support surface can be elastically adjusted relative to the base, wherein the support body comprises at least one longitudinal and/or transverse rib, wherein a second support body is disposed at the base elastically adjustable relative to the base at a distance from the first support body and wherein the second support body and the base are connected together via a deformation element.
