I was highly concerned about this issue. I sit so far back in mine, plus being 6'7", that if i tilted my head back it went INSIDE the roll hoop. I've seen the small ones that fit kind of inside the roll hoop, but I was concerned in an accident I'd glance off that and still hit the hoop. So, I made a headrest: I used high density 2" thick flat rollbar foam (the good stuff), attached the assembly to the hoop and its removable in less than a minute if I feel like it (car show whatever). sorry pictures are crappy.
