Purpose and fitment for BMW F20/F21

The presented BMW rear centre headrest has been designed specifically for installation on the rear bench in 1 Series F20/F21 generation models. The mounting structure is compatible with the factory guides in the backrest, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining the original seat geometry. The component is dedicated to the central position, ensuring it does not interfere with seat belt operation or backrest folding.

Construction and upholstery material

The headrest is categorized under Headrests and features silver-grey fabric upholstery, matched to original BMW seat sets. The material structure has been selected for abrasion resistance and color stability, which is important for daily use of the rear bench. The filling provides appropriate elasticity, allowing for comfortable head support without excessive sinking.

Safety and comfort function

The central headrest on the rear bench plays an important role in protecting the cervical spine of the passenger sitting in the middle. The properly selected height and shape help reduce strain during sudden braking or collisions. At the same time, the soft, fabric surface improves travel comfort, especially on longer trips, by providing stable head support.

Condition and practical application

As a used component, the headrest is a cost-effective solution for post-accident repairs, replacing missing interior parts, or restoring the completeness of the rear bench after previous modifications. It allows for maintaining the stylistic consistency of the BMW F20/F21 interior without the need to invest in a new set of seats, which is particularly important for economical vehicle restoration.
