Does this pillow offer good neck support? My chiropractor recommended sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck--will this have a similar effect?

Absolutely yes. I have cervical (neck) issues and this pillow makes a world of difference for me. It is designed to give the perfect contour and support. Wouldn't want to go back to living without it. Hope this helps!

The water displaces. It might help if you put your head higher on pillow to move water under your neck.

That is what I used this pillow for most of the time. I liked having the flat side against my lower leg and the round side against my top leg. The pillow stayed in place. I rested the pillow lengthwise from my knee to my ankle which gave my whole leg support. I had tried the "knee" pillow that had a Velcro strap but it did not work for me at all! The strap did NOT hold it in place when I rolled over, it was harder then I liked and it hurt my hip (I had hip replacement) as it tilted my leg down as I rested my ankle on my lower leg.Hope this helps you in making your decision.

It's a bit on the "firm" side at first, but over time it softens up, but not too soft, and is the BEST PILLOW for me as I have major neck issues to the point that I wake up with a SEVERE MIGRAINE if my neck is out and I have gone through 15 different pillows ranging from other memory foam pillows, down pillows, you name I tried it and this pillow I finally found. LOVE LOVE LOVE this pillow!!!! Thank you!!!!

I think so. It helps me in general. my problem is more my lower back. But from time to time I wake up with my arms "asleep" and hanging the next morning usually takes care of it. ( not a strict neck problem)

Ralph,One of the leading features of this pillow is the support it gives when the head falls to one side. Whether it would be adequate for your neck I do not know but its lateral support is one of the things I like the best about it.

I use it more for support of the lumbar area while I'm sitting up on the bed. This pillow's material is tougher/harder than most memory foam pillows or even most memory mattress toppers, thus sleeping with it underneath my back all night becomes too uncomfortable. Hope that helps.

I have both of the products. I haven't used them at the same time but use them both. I use the neck support at night while lying on the bed for about 15 minutes to a half hour. I really like it. The back magic adjusts my spine some what but the neck support really helps release the tension in my neck and shoulders.

I think it's pretty accurate. I think the neck pillow looks very good. But when it was placed over the headrest, I felt it was too stiff for me (there was almost no cushion at all). To compensate that you would need to slide down your back rest further behind.

Yes, but it takes a long time. I've had mine for about 2 years now, and it's past time for a new one. I had the standard, I'm pretty sure--bought it directly from the chiropracter and he didn't specify, so I'm trying the gentle this time and hoping it will work well for me. :) I usually get a new pillow every year or two anyway, due to allergens.

I'm not sure. I would think it might help with the neck pain... But I mostly don't feel much on my neck while using the pillow. I mostly use the pillow for my head and shoulders. It seems to help.

I sleep on my side and back. This pillow is flatter so when I am on my back, it doesn't hyperflex my neck. That used to give me a headache in the morning. I wake up headache free. I can't do without this pillow.

I haven't had my pillow for very long but I am very happy with it. I have fewer headaches, and it does seem to be cooler than other pillows. This pillow was recommended to me by a couple who claimed a much better sleep with less snoring and headaches. Hope that helps.

I use this pillow constantly but every persons back issues are unique. I tend to sleep in a somewhat upright /sleeping position and do not use this item that way very often but sometimes the pillows in hotels are inadequate and it certainly helps when that is the case. But the pillow in full inflation is only about 3/4 of an inch thick, maybe an inch tops. Also the surface is a touch smooth. I would be sure to put a piece of cloth over it if sleeping on it that way. And the thickness may not be enough for your particular needs.

I bought it because I have a tempurpedic bed and I love it but we have goose down pillows that sink to the mattress. My neck started aching after he bought those pillows probably due to lack of support. I got this pillow and i'm all better, I don't use any other pillow, also I'm a side sleeper.

I rarely find myself on my back when I am sleeping. When I do I have problems with my cpap mask leaking which usually wakes me up. That is no fault of the pillow and others may not have that problem. I have used mine every night and so far it has held its shape really well.

When I lay on this pillow on my back, the back of my head touches it and the back/top of my shoulders touch the bottom edge. It's too firm to allow it to also shape to my neck so my neck has no support the way I like. You can "scrunch" at it to make it better but that only works if you're awake so I often wake with a bit of a stiff neck with this pillow. I save it for support when laying on the sofa or in bed when I read or watch television.
