1. A headrest comprising: a headrest body that supports a head portion of an occupant; a pair of side frame sections that supports the headrest body, each of the side frame sections extending along a seat height direction and being inclined towards a front side in a seat front-rear direction with respect to respective headrest stay sections, wherein the pair of side frame sections are disposed at a separation from each other along a seat width direction, the headrest stay sections extending upwardly along the seat height direction in a plane defined by a seat back, the headrest stay sections including an upper portion that is inclined towards the front side in a seat front-rear direction relative thereto, the upper portion defining the pair of side frame sections; a top frame section that extends along the seat width direction and interconnects upper end portions of each of the side frame sections; and an inclined wall portion connected to the pair of side frame sections and the top frame section, that is inclined with respect to a plane defined by the pair of side frame sections and lying in the seat width direction such that a lower end portion of the inclined wall portion is spaced from the plane defined by the pair of side frame sections towards the front side in a seat front-rear direction a greater distance than that of an upper end portion of the inclined wall portion, and that bears load acting on a rear side of the headrest body, wherein the inclined wall defines an intermediate part of a pressure bearing member having an inverted T-shaped profile as viewed from a front side of the headrest body, and connects to the pair of side frame sections and the top frame section, wherein the inclined wall portion is provided at a seat width direction intermediate portion of the pressure bearing member.
