A head restraint for use by a passenger sitting in a seat having a generally upward cantilevered seatback, the head restraint comprising:
- a woven fabric panel gathered at opposite ends to bundles, the fabric panel thereby forming a hammock sized to cradle at least a portion of a front of a user's head when the fabric panel is stretched horizontally with the bundles at points near a left and right side of the seatback over the user's head supported by the seatback;
- and
- an adjustable strap attached at either end to the bundles and sized to fit around a back of the upward cantilevered seatback to apply a tension to the woven fabric panel positioned at the front of the cantilevered seatback to stretch the fabric panel horizontally with ends of the adjustable strap supporting the bundles at left and right sides of the seatback when the user's head is supported by the seatback covered by the hammock.
