I just picked up a 2007 CRV and after driving 45mins home I had a
stiff neck and backache I could'nt beleive. The headrest is angled
right into the back of my head so I could not sit comfortably in the
drivers seat. I tried adjusting the seat and headrest into different
positions but nothing worked. Honda says they have not had any
complaints about this problem. My daughter has a 2005 Accord EX so I
swapped one of her headrest into the CRV. It was more comfortable then
the CRV headrest but not great. I am looking for a compatable headrest
that pretty much goes straight up from the back of the seat. Does
anyone know if any other Honda headrest would fit into the new CRV or
03 to 06 accords?

Thanks

Can you pull the headrest out, rotate it 180, and then put it back in?

Crazy enough it might work: maybe you can find a seat cushion (the type that
extends up the back) that provides enough spacing to keep the head restraint
from pushing your head forward.
