The first impression

Packaging and contents

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The HONAX head and neck rest was delivered in two boxes for our test. On the outside, the set was in a DHL box, while the inner box bore the company logo and product name. Both boxes were undamaged and could be opened easily without additional tools. However, when unpacking the set, we noticed the excessive amount of packaging material . Although the product itself was undamaged and in perfect condition , the amount of plastic packaging was clearly excessive. Both the cushion and the cushion wings were each packed in a plastic bag. The package also contained a small detailed instruction manual with explanatory pictures in both German and English.

Head and neck rest from HONAX Unboxing

The appearance of the HONAX headrest is very good, with a well-finished surface in vegan leather. The attractive design catches the eye at first glance. The high-quality materials, the scratch-resistant leather and the white stitching give the headrest an elegant touch. It also impresses in terms of workmanship. There are no visible material defects, which indicates high-quality manufacturing. The stability of the support is also impressive. Made from robust PU leather and equipped with sturdy support rods, this head and neck rest offers a secure hold while driving. However, it is not only impressive in terms of appearance and quality, but also in terms of sustainability. It has both the RoHS certificate and the CE certificate, which means that it complies with environmental and health protection guidelines .

Various criteria were checked during the product test of the head/neck support. When evaluating the comfort, we found that the support is extremely comfortable. The pillow is made of memory foam and adapts perfectly to the neck. This was tested during a long car journey and there were no pressure points or discomfort.

Fitting the support proved to be quick and easy , without any additional tools. The support poles are individually adjustable as they can be set to any size. Assembly went smoothly as the instructions were very detailed and easy to understand .

The material quality of the head and neck rest was also rated positively. The high-quality vegan leather with well-finished white seams showed no defects or signs of wear.

The various functions of the support have been successfully tested and found to be satisfactory. The head and neck support is suitable for children aged 3 and over as well as for adults as it can be folded up and down. Furthermore, the pillow can also be used separately as an individual part , which increases flexibility .

Ease of cleaning can be ensured with a simple damp cloth . Stains or soiling can also be removed easily.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.7 stars. One criticism is that the head/neck support gives way a little. Many customers like the high quality and comfort of the product. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that both the quality and comfort of the product were very good.

Prices of up to €44.95 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €37.99 . The HONAX head and neck rest is therefore currently in the upper price segment with a price of €44.95. The price-performance ratio isreasonable for the quality and performance received.
