Default "Forward" Head Rest Replacement?

I have a 2014 ES and my wife has always complained the headrest pushes her head forward, especially if she has a ponytail, even when the headrest is as far back as it goes.

If you look, the headrest is very forward-angled. However, it doesn't bother me and I prefer it.

Anyway...does anyone out there know of a replacement headrest that might be a little more upright and no so angled that I could perhaps replace with?

Thanks!

Default Yep. Not a problem on any other car

I have this exact same problem. And so does my wife. The headrests are angled too far forward at the top, even with the horizontal adjust all the way back. My chiropractor literally just said to me “you didn’t have any neck problems two months ago.” Coincidentally that is when I bought this car. I just did a 7 hour trip and needed a chiro appointment afterwards.

Is there another years’ headrest that will swap in that is of a more vertical design?
