Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
an adjustable headrest assembly, comprising:
a headrest center bracket;
a left vertical side plate track positioned at a left side of the headrest center bracket;
a left headrest side plate assembly comprising a left headrest side plate, the left headrest side plate assembly engaged with the left vertical side plate track, wherein the left headrest side plate is configured to move up and down relative to the left vertical side plate track based on the engagement of the left headrest side plate assembly with the left vertical side plate track, wherein the left headrest side plate is configured to rotate fore and aft about an axis positioned along an edge of the head rest center bracket, wherein the left headrest side plate assembly further comprises:
a left friction clamp pin attached to the left headrest side plate;
a left friction clamp rotatably engaged with the left friction clamp pin such that the left headrest side plate is able to rotate fore and aft about the axis;
a left torque block attached to the left friction clamp;
a left roller plate attached to the left torque block; and
at least one left roller positioned between the left roller plate and the left torque block, wherein the at least one left roller engages with the left vertical side plate track such that the left headrest side plate is able to move up and down relative to the headrest center bracket;

a right vertical side plate track positioned at a right side of the headrest center bracket; and
a right headrest side plate assembly comprising a right headrest side plate, the right headrest side plate assembly engaged with the right vertical side plate track, wherein the right headrest side plate is configured to move up and down relative to the right vertical side plate track based on the engagement of the right headrest side plate assembly with the right vertical side plate track, wherein the right headrest side plate is configured to rotate fore and aft about another axis positioned along another edge of the head rest center bracket, wherein the right headrest side plate is configured to rotate fore and aft independently of the left headrest side plate being configured to rotate fore and aft, wherein the right headrest side plate assembly further comprises:
a right friction clamp pin attached to the right headrest side plate;
a right friction clamp rotatably engaged with the right friction clamp pin such that the right headrest side plate is able to rotate fore and aft about the other axis;
a right torque block attached to the right friction clamp;
a right roller plate attached to the right torque block; and
at least one right roller positioned between the right roller plate and the right torque block, wherein the at least one right roller engages with the right vertical side plate track such that the right headrest side plate is able to move up and down relative to the headrest center bracket.
