1. A headrest for a vehicle seat, the headrest comprising: a padded part facing the head of a seat occupant; a main body; and a comfort-adjustment device disposed at a lower part of the padded part, wherein, when the headrest is in use, the padded part can be adjusted by the comfort-adjustment device relative to the main body by movement of the padded part from a first position, in which it is further away from the head of the seat occupant, to a second position, closer to the head of the seat occupant, wherein the movement of the padded part is a pivoting movement of the padded part about an axis of rotation extending substantially horizontally, wherein the axis of rotation is at an upper part of the padded part, such that the lower part of the padded part is displaced toward the head of the seat occupant more than the upper part during the movement of the padded part from the first position to the second position, wherein the comfort-adjustment device has two control elements, which can be set in a locking position and in an unlocking position, the movement of the control elements being synchronized, and wherein a direct movement of the padded part from the first position to the second position is possible when the control elements are in the locking position, but a movement of the padded part in the opposite direction is blocked and, when the control elements are in the unlocking position, a direct movement of the padded part from the first position to the second position and from the second position to the first position is possible.
