<What are some of the solutions for headrests?  I see them on a lot of airplanes, but I wonder where they got them.>
 
 
I tried to adapt an automotive headrest into my 360 but couldn't come up with anything satisfactory.
The combination of semi-reclining and needing to crane your neck around a lot for the usual see and avoid makes it a dificult task.
It also seems necessary to have them easily remove or fold down to allow full access to the baggage space.
 
I had a headrest clamped to the seatback in a fashion that would allow lots of adjustment for trial and error.  Then when I was pulling 5 g's it came off--  my head landed in the baggage compartment.
 
I gave up after that.
On a long trip I usually have enough luggage / camping gear to fill the need for a pillow for the flying assistant.
