Thanks for the input everyone. The automotive headrest is the approach i've chosen

Cheers,
Nick.

Like RO, I'm also tall (6'3") and my ASW 24 came thru without the backrest...which means it didn't have a headrest. I'm reluctant to fly without one (see my posting in the thread about LS-3 Headrest). So I attached a piece of padding wrapped in a hand towel (sewed/tied) to the main bulkhead. Tried to find something without much "bounce" to avoid rebound during a crash. Memory foam would be perfect but it gets hard when cold and my head doesn't rest on the headrest much of the time to warm it up.

I suspect (hope?) a junkyard automotive headrest might be safer than some DIY solutions.
