Maybach-ing up my S600
Let me be clear here, I am not trying to pretend that I have a Maybach. Maybach is just the only widely-known car I know of that has these pillows in the car.
Now, I am all about comfort. One of my passengers was ******* the rear headrests because they are pretty much useless unless you are 6'5" with a taller torso. Any shorter and your head pretty much sits in the gap. So, I made these "neck" pillows that attach to the headrest posts. I call them "neck pillows" because ascetically they look like a neck pillow but in reality they are head pillows. That in combination with my squishy lumbar pillows make the car really nice and even more comfortable!
These pillows are made out of matching and contrasting alcantara suede stuffed with down feathers. I thought the brown would look nicer and have a more custom and popping feel. All hand made, and embroidered done in the comfort of my living room in my boxers (so masculine, I know).
Whenever I go to my mechanic's shop--- everyone wants to buy a pair or all 4 for their cars! Haha. let me know what you guys think. I am also making some for my w211 with grey alcantara and I also made a black leather set for my 1979 Rolls Royce project car however those ones are mainly decorative.

Interesting. I have split seats in the rear of my car but it is set up for only 2 passengers. The middle portion is only useful for storage. Matter of fact, I only have 2 headrest in the rear.

You have the rare 4-seat package. Lucky!
The pillows still work the same. Haha

ibeforreal, I made some that did match and I made these ones. The lettering of my family name matches the car but I like the contrast of the brown a lot more. It makes it pop. The ones for my W211 match perfectly.
Also, a few people have bought pairs from me at $100 per pair with whatever you want written on them. Mercedes logo, name, AMG logo, V12 logo, etc.
