Abstract

The present invention relates to after-market headrest covers that include foam rubber padding for enhanced comfort. It is easily installed without the aid of tools. An elastic opening at the base of the hood can be stretched open wide enough to insert and encompass the headrest of the seat. A U-shaped foam rubber padding exists inside the front of the invention to provide needed support and comfort to the driver or passenger. Drivers who travel frequently or need to rest during the workday can now rest their head in added comfort by utilizing the present embodiment. It brings a level of rest or sleep on these occasions that most car owners are unaccustomed to. A variation of the preferred embodiment includes Velcro fasteners sewn into the base of the headrest cover to further secure the cover to the headrest of a car seat, ensuring a snug fit.
