This is interesting, I'm 6'1" and do not have this problem. I also drive with the seatback almost straight up and down, my head doesn't even touch the head rest.

That being said, it is technically a head restraint - not a head rest. It's not made for you to rest your head on.

An evaluation performed by NHTSA in 1982 on passenger cars found that "integral" head restraints—a seat back extending high enough to meet the 27.5 in (698.5 mm) height requirement—reduces injury by 17 percent, while adjustable head restraints, attached to the seat back by one or more sliding metal shafts, reduce injury by 10 percent. NHTSA has said this difference may be due to adjustable restraints being improperly positioned.
