A headrest assembly for use in a motor vehicle is provided. The headrest assembly includes a housing. The headrest assembly also includes an adjustment component operatively coupling the housing to a seatback of a vehicle seat. The headrest assembly further includes an actuator including a motor operatively coupled to the adjustment component, the motor effectuating movement of the housing between a deployed position and a stowed position. The headrest assembly yet further includes a sensor for detecting the presence of an occupant on the vehicle seat, wherein the detection of an occupant on the vehicle seat causes the actuator to move the housing from the stowed position to the deployed position.
