There are no other blond elements in an Amber interior so you’d be introdcing an extra colour - would look a bit messy - imho.
I would suggest black (charcoal) which would tie in with a lot of the other parts - black trim panels, carpets etc.

That was my first thought but wondered if anyone felt differently.

Im going to pop down to the dealers and see if they have one on any of their demo stock and see how it looks...

I reached out to Volvo UK Customer Relations and they looked into why there is no option for an Amber pillow. Apparently "Volvo did not produce the Amber pillows due to the lack of demand for this colour option".

Have to say I'm very disappointed. Perhaps there was no demand because they never produced any.....

Anyone tried a different colour with Amber? I tried Blond but it really didn't go.

I have black pillows with my Amber interior. It looks fine as it matches the dash and door cards. That said I am not sold on the pillows for me. They push my head forward too much. That said my other half and daughter both said that they like then so it wasnt 60 quid wasted.

Hi,

Which would you say is more comfortable for long journeys?

The Pillow?
https://www.volvopartshop.com/pillow-23680-p.asp

or the Neck Cushion?
https://www.volvopartshop.com/mats--seats-1108-c.asp

I tend to get neck-ache on long journeys. Was wondering which would benefit me more, without causing me to get so comfortable that I end up falling asleep

Thanks.

I’ve got one of each. The pillow suits me but my brother can’t stand it as it pushes his head too far forward. It also has a tendency to slide off the main headrest, to the side. Overall I wouldn’t buy it again.

Neck cushion? Not so much for a driver but certainly great for a passenger that wants to relax and possibly snooze. My wife loves this one and I would buy again.

Also have them both for the passenger side not the driver side.
I think they work very well together but it depends on the person sitting there.
The neck cushion is great but it works better alone if you recline the seat a bit. This is where the head cushion enters.

I'm going to head down to my Volvo dealer today. Hopefully they'll have both for me to try out. I guess that's the only way of knowing for sure.

My car has a black interior. Can't decide if I should go for charcoal to match. Or blonde to add some contrast and lift the gloom. What do you reckon?

ps - i've just moved to my V60 from a BMW 3 Series (F30). The seats in the BMW (non-msport) were terrible. The Volvo seats are superb. Feels like I've been upgraded to Business Class

Pretty sure they don't have that in stock but if you order it will arrive in 3 days.
Choose charcoal or else its going to look horrible
