Abstract
Vehicle seat (1), in particular for a two-door automobile, with a seat back (3) and a headrest (3a, 5, 5a) integrated into the seat back, wherein one section (3a) of a seat-back frame forms a carrying structure of the headrest, and the headrest comprises a cushion carrier part (5) mounted in such a way that it can move with respect to the seat-back frame when the seat back is tilted forward, so that the overall length of the seat back is reduced when tilted forward with respect to the resting position.
