Q&A: Why do they design airplane seats this way?
Question by Aida Renolds: Why do they design airplane seats this way?
The head rest on airplane seats tilt downwards forcing you to hunch your neck and head forward – it’s sooo uncomfortable! Why don’t the head rests tilt back, or at least sit straight up and down.
Head and neck cushions help a little, but why oh why do they design the chairs this way?!
Both fun and serious answers are appreciated 🙂

Yes that is annoying, maybe because when you lean the chair back the person behind you won’t fell like your head is in their face. Maybe they were designed for shorter people. I was on this flight once and the girl ahead of me reclined her chair all the way and I felt squashed the whole flight.

My car does that. It’s just stupid. I know this won’t help you on an airplane, but I just take the headrest off and turn it around backwards in my car. They might take you off in handcuffs if you tried that on a plane.
