how do you use it? do you lay with the flat part under your back?

Hi Cheryl..I put it behind my neck when I'm laying down to read. It helps keep your head a little elevated and it's really comfortable. When my hubby isn't using it, I use it myself. The middle part goes to the back of your neck. I hope that helps. Good luck.

You can use it anywhere you need support. I primarily use mine under my neck. It supports your neck and keeps the back of your head from laying flat on the pillow- giving you that unattractive "bed-head" look in the back of you hairdo. I cannot sleep without mine- if I accidentally get off of it while I sleep- I wake up enough to put it back under my neck. You can use it between your thighs too if you are having any pain in your hips. Laying on you side- put the flat part of the pillow between your legs and it makes you lay more evenly- taking pressure off your hip muscle. I love mine- I've got three of them- usually just use the one under my neck.... You can use it anywhere you need support. I primarily use mine under my neck.

No- this goes under your neck. It give support to your neck while you lay down.

Use with the narrow part under your neck to give support when sleeping or reading. Use alone or in combination with regular pillows

Place the NeckBone at the base of your regular pillow so you can have neck support and the rest of your head rests on your regular pillow above it. Use the two tabs to position the middle part of the bone under your neck and it does the rest.

Actually a very good question... the top is flat. What you see depicted is the inside lumbar support. So when you lie on it, you get extra support in your lumbar area. I was sceptical too, but it really works! Agree with Dave, Very Comfortable.

i don't know how much you weigh. I have layed on it and also put behind my back when driving. You can always lay on your side and put something against it to hold in place (like a pillow).

yes the back will lay flat. the seat is a permanent incline but it is still comfortable to lay flat. It is best to put your legs to each side of the seat a little for this.

Honestly, it isn't made to do that so if you try to use it like normal but without support, you're probably going to fall backwards. However, you could use it more like a pillow and lay it on the backside and laying back on the handle side as a pillow, it can work pretty well.

You need to adjust the position of where the weight hangs. It should be hanging down from your back to around your lower back area. If set up properly, you will unconsciously keep you back straight to have the weight hang rather than press up against your back if you were to slouch. At least that's the way how its worked for me.P.S. You shouldn't sit against a back rest if you are wearing the Body Rite, because the weight will press against the back rest and cause more pain than good. Only use when sitting on a backless stool, standing or walking.

You can't lay on it. The handle is long enough to reach between your shoulders. I helps, though, if you have someone use it on you. You can adjust the vibration from low to high and about 3 levels in between. We usually use the 2nd level.

No, I use it only for laying on my back, I have another flat beach chair for my stomach laying.

I prefer to sleep on my side also and I do one this bed but.... it's also one of the few mattresses that I actually like to sleep on my back because of the way it molds to your body, apparently that is suppose to be the best way to sleep for spine health and to avoid those wonderful facial wrinkles! Hope that helps!

Yes you can lay against it. I put it behind my back and lay on it all the time.

I have, but it's kind of heavy for me. I'll usually lay in bed, position it on my lower back and press against the bed. It works much better when you have help.

I use it and it will stay flat but i am not rough with it. My husband now will use it on his back and it does get bunched up. So i guess it depends on person. It is easy enough though, to fix if it does bunch up.I will say this too, that i tend to use low so high heat is hot. Hope this helps you decide.

I haven't tried it lying down. As Roxy answered, your bottom wouldn't be aligned with the rest of your back. There isn't much "give" to it, so that could be uncomfortable. It might help you with sitting, though. It takes some getting used to. Best wishes for complete recovery.

The roll is the only part under your neck if you are a back sleeper. It only works for me when placed over a regular pillow otherwise it does not support the neck.

I find it most comfortable for sleeping on your back (head tilted R or L occasionally). After some time, I push it aside and sleep on my side on the traditional pillow that was underneath.

You need to recline to be comfortable. It is not meant to be used in the upright position.

It doesn't really work well if you're on your side. It's kind of heavy and it would need to be very tight to keep it in place. I always try propping it up against my face with a pillow but I end up on my back eventually.
