A different version of headrests
I have gotten out of the business of headrest but thought I would post this.
Mine is the first picture and MidAmerica in the bottom picture.

I don't mean for this to sound unkind, but I don't care for the way they look.
They look like the answer to the question that nobody asked.

I'm one of the buyers of your headrest on ebay and like others have said, this is a great product, too bad you went out of business. "BUT" and please don't get offended or anything, it is just my .02 cents, there is somewhat a flaw in your design. If you notice that the thicker part of the headrest is at the bottom of the headrest, if somebody taller (more than 5'6") sits on the car, the lower part of the neck/upper part of the shoulder area will sit directly at the bottom of the headrest, or for somebody even taller. say around 5'11" or higher, it will sit almost/at the shoulder level- in the event of a rear end, since your head is not entire sitting on the headrest, there is an increase chance of whiplash and or, neck and/ or upper thoracic spine injury. I am 5'6" and in order for my head to rest on the headrest, I have to raise the headrest and lower my self a bit on the seat. Like I said this is only my observation and no testing have been done. From what I am seeing that Mid-America did is that they have the thicker part in the middle of their headrest, thereby giving enough space for the neck/shoulder to rest and align themsleves with the head by putting a thinner portion of the bottom of the headrest at the bottom and top. But liek I said, mine is a suggestion and not a criticism. Just a safety tip for those who are thinking about purchasing the product from Mid-America in the future.
