A transparent head restraint assembly for use on a vehicle seat includes a seat cushion assembly and a seat back assembly pivotally attached to the seat cushion assembly. The head restraint assembly includes a generally U-shaped frame member fixedly secured to the upper portion of the seat back assembly. The frame member forms the outer perimeter of the head restraint and defines an inner opening. A transparent head restraint member of plastic, glass or a combination thereof is seated in the opening of the frame member and a mounting member secures the transparent head restraint member to the frame member. The frame member comprises a tubular member surrounded by a resilient padding structure. The mounting member comprises a groove formed in the padding structure for receiving and supporting an edge of the transparent head restraint member and providing resilient absorption of impact forces on the head restraint member.
