Purpose and fitment

The presented headrest is designed for the rear row of seats, in the middle position. The construction is adapted to the standard mounts in the backrest, which facilitates installation and removal in workshop or service conditions. The element comes from the Mercedes brand's range of equipment, which means maintaining the factory geometry, appropriate working height, and the correct angle of head support.

Material and finish

The headrest upholstery is made of a material specified as Leather, in practice imitating leather, with a uniform black color scheme. This configuration allows for an aesthetic match to standard seats that use covers with a similar texture and shade. The Black color limits the visibility of typical operational dirt and blends well with most interior configurations.

Safety and comfort function

The rear middle seat headrest plays an important role in reducing strain on the cervical spine during sudden braking or collisions. The properly selected height and shape of the cushion allow the passenger's head to be positioned safely relative to the backrest. At the same time, the soft filling and smooth surface of the upholstery increase travel comfort on longer distances.

Condition, origin, and service application

The item is marked as Used, which makes it a practical choice for post-accident repairs, replacing missing interior components, or restoring the completeness of the rear seat. Using an original headrest from disassembly allows for maintaining visual and structural consistency with the other seats, without the need to interfere with factory mounts.

In the context of part identification, assigned markings are helpful, such as SKU, OEM part number, and available interchangeable numbers, which facilitate the selection of the correct component in service catalogs and parts selection systems.

Benefits of choosing a used headrest

Choosing an original, used headrest is a solution that is both economically and environmentally beneficial. Instead of investing in replacements with uncertain fitment, you can use an element from the same product line, maintaining factory performance parameters. This type of decision aligns with the idea of reusing automotive components, reducing waste and raw material consumption.
