OK, here's what I found:
>From floorboard to top of seat cushion (front, unladen): ~7"
>From floorboard to top of headrest: ~30"
>From seat cushion (back) to top of door: ~18"
When sitting in the seat, my head sticks up ~4" taller than the
headrest. This is with the seat in a comfortable position (not the
tallest position). I did not put any sort of spacer between the seat
and the carpeting.
