This looks like it would make your neck extremely hot and sweaty. Is that correct?

That hasn't been an issue for me. The fabric seems fairly breathable and absorptive, but I guess if you are prone to sweating it could exacerbate that by trapping heat. I think that would be an issue with any cervical collar, however, and I don't see any reason why this one would be especially sweat-inducing.

I've used this and similar collars for years without any problem of a perspiration problem. I don't think it would be a problem in that regard. I live in NC.CL

yeah..it is very uncomfortable to wear. I do not wear it regularly like I should. Just too uncomfortable.

I need to correct my statement to you. Yes, it is hot to the touch. Apparently I hadn't noticed until you asked and after I responded to you. Sorry about that.

i'd think not, as it can get extremely hot underneath, however if you are static, say siffting down etc, it will work, just know that it;s going to be on top of your head the whole time...

Yes, of course it is hot to the touch, extremely hot! That is, when it works. But then it does not often work. So there is a trade-off here.

You will not burn yourself even if you touch it with bear hands. Not too hot.But the chemical smell is very bad. It actually gives you soar throat and headaches.Better not to have it at all.

If you mean like really hot such as over say 110 degrees then I'd say 'no' .

This was a gift for my son. He has been using it on his back and absolutely loves it. He said the moist heat really helps his back. I do not know about the should / neck area.

I have never used it that way, but it is hot to the touch for about an hour. I hope this helps.

Never use on the neck! Instructions say you could cause a spasm and close off your breathing.

If I understand it correctly, you are asking if you get hot when sitting on it. I live in Florida and have only used it through this past winter. However, it is very warm here now and I have not experienced it as being uncomfortable or warm. I absolutely love this. It has helped my back issues tremendously.

It's just the newness. It will away. If it doesn't then you have it to close to your hair and you need to back away some. It gets really hot and could burn your scalp if not careful.

Absolutely not...it feels slightly warmer than your body temperature but it is a soothing warmth. You will love it!

Yes, it got super hot. I sleep not, so maybe the other posters sleep cool. Also several said they like it because it reduces their aches and pains--translation sleeps hot, but they like it, as it soothes the muscles. Don't get me wrong it's a great pad, BUT if you sleep hot, or in a hot climate, this thing WILL make you sweat.

no definitely not. I found that it floats up and literally presses hard under your neck. There's no device to keep it from floating up. Straps are needed in the crotch area to prevent it from riding up.

To be very honest I would NOT use it on the neck, I tried it today and had such a weird feeling i had to turn it off immediately, it's like I stopped feeling my left side when I turned it on, I had to shut the machine off with my right hand since I hadn't started on that side yet, i'm sticking to shoulders and down

YES! But thats really super hot...you need to test it on your type of hair to make sure it doesn't burn it.
