Combined with the silly rule that the headrests must be lowered for taxi, takeoff and landing (no such rule on CO), this makes for fairly long annoying periods where I find myself wishing I was on CO.
Oddly enough, I'm only 5'6" and actually raise the headrest completely above my head when I sleep so that I may lie back further (against the seat below the headrest). The best solution would be to make the headrest completely repositionable and removable -- like, for example, a pillow!
