Anybody tried making headrests for buckets?

I love my buddy buckets but also love my headrests in my other two trucks. When I'm tired, I use them a lot. I also live in an area where accidents happen a lot and getting re-ended with glass behind me would suck.

I've been wondering if anyone has made a headrest for these trucks before, bench or bucket. Something that mounts to the ceiling and hangs down, or even some kind of removable one. This is where I'm thinking, removable.... so I can pull it off at a car show maybe, dunno.

Here's my thought. Using suction cups, lightweight frame (aluminum), plywood, padding, and a matching cover. 3 or 4 cups to hold in place, not just the push on ones but the cam style locking ones. Also, cover the back of it nicely, so it's not an eyesore looking into the glass.










I'm looking for cups like these. Maybe even use these as they have a spot to mount them fairly close to the cup. Lock down and BAM, headrests.
