My problem is that my head turns at night, twisting my neck. Will this help keep my head from turning?

I have only used the neck rest for traveling. I use it for sleeping on the plane and it keeps my head upright and comfortable.

I use it at night to prevent that very problem, and to prevent myself from snoring because my jaw can't drop with it on. It has eliminated a lot of neck pain for me since I've begun sleeping with it every night. It just takes a little getting used to because it can fit quite snuggly, but if put on right, it won't strangle you!

I think it will if it's done up snug. I couldn't turn my head while wearing it.

I've only used it on airplanes and while sitting at my desk at work. So, I can't tell you if it would help when sleeping in a bed.

For me it held my head at too high of an angle. So, no it was not good for my neck. I have had much better luck with the Duro-Med Hugg-A-Pillow.

Yes, it does not give a lot of wiggle room so your head and neck stays in the same place all night.

It works if you're sleeping with the back of your head on the pillow, but if you like to turn to one side then it won't be comfortable.

I use a thin regular pillow to support my neck. Without the pillow I found that my head leaned back a bit too far. With a thicker one it was also uncomfortable.

The neck on mine is quite strong. I use mine on my bed headboard. There is one issue with that however, if you twist the light head around 180 degrees so you can clip it to a headboard, the neck does get stuck at about 140 degrees, so the neck was not made to easily swivel around.

It worked for my husband who used it on the plane to France. However, it apparently doesn't work for everyone. I guess it depends on how much you move your head when you are sleeping. One part of the pillow goes behind the head, the other part of the "T" bar rests against the side of the head and the curled opposite end rests under the chin. If the back piece slips out of position the entire system for keeping the head from falling forward fails. On the plane, I used the embrace sleep collar which definitely keeps one's head from falling forward under any circumstance but is not as cuddley as a pillow.

I turn it so the more gradual slope is on my neck. I thought it was ridiculous to buy an expensive pillow when we got our first set 4 yrs ago. Now it's a must-have if I want a solid night's sleep.

Absolutely! I took it on a road trip because I'm at that age where I tend to fall asleep if I sit still. I strap it on tightly and it holds my head in place. Because it is tall, It prevents my head from falling forward or back and tipping right or left.

Talk to your doctor. There is A LOT of twisting which is not good for backs, depending on what your issues are.

I use it mainly for my lower back. I do however feel a release of pressure all along my spine while inverted. It may well help your neck. I hope this has been of assistance to you.

As I recall, been several months, there is not actual support for the neck itself. When you lay back, the sides "pop up" around your head like pontoons which helps keep your head from flopping side to side too much. At least that's the way I remember it. Would have been nice to have had some sort of actual neck support.

My husband uses this for his back. He said it really doesn't do much for his neck at all but mainly works on his mid to lower back area. When you are inverted, that is where most of pulling pressure will be, with less as you travel to the head. It has done wonders to his back & he uses it at least once per day. It actually will lower his blood pressure after using it. I hope that answers your question.

When I spoke with my chiropractor about how it works on your neck. He said it brings back the natural curvature of your neck. I have two compression fractures in my lower neck from a wreck years ago and it has helped me tremendously. Not sure about your neck feeling out of alignment, unless a doctor told you so. My neck was very stiff and painful, also had no flexibility much. You just have to very careful and start slowly at first. Hope this helps.

Not so far. I think I've had th e pillow for about 4 months. Every once and awhile my neck is alittle stiff,but I'm sleeping so well,I thought maybe I wasn't turning enough ?

Perhaps it is how you are using your OPTP pillow and regular pillow. I found that if I just used the OPTP pillow - slept on my back on side with it under my neck - AND a very soft, almost flat down or similar pillow for my head that my back didn't hurt. it takes a few nights to get used to the OPTP pillow.

I have not had this happen one time. My baby has been in the head down position for weeks now, but is constantly turning right side up, etc...whether I am wearing the band or not.
