A headrest for a passenger seat comprises a support structure, wherein the support structure is for connection to the passenger seat; a cushion plate, wherein the cushion plate is connected to the support structure by a mounting mechanism that enables the cushion plate to be articulated in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction parallel to the support structure; and a cushion, connected to the cushion plate, on which at least one of a user's head or neck is supported during use. The mounting mechanism is configured such that horizontal movement of the user's head or neck when supported by the cushion causes the cushion plate to articulate horizontally in unison with the movement of the user's head or neck.
