I think my car headrest doesn't work for me because I am short (5 Ft). Has this car pillow helped other short drivers?

I'm 5'3" and do use a seat cushion in my car. I too find the headrest to be hard. I only use my pillow on long trips as it isn't comfortable if I move my head sideways (turning corners and such.)

i didnt have the issue with the height, but the elastic broke right away. Also, I didn't feel like the headrest was comfortable. It was too hard for me.

I don't know about your car seat, but I have a Britix and the side pillows are huge. These headphones still work.

I am not that tall and weigh just a little less. That pillow works great for me and I think it will for you too.

My husband is 6'0" and my brother-in-law is 6'3"--just pull up the headrest on your seat and it will work fine!

I think so, Lisa. The bottom of car seat look like with my own. You can try. If dosent work you return. I hope i have help to you!

I wouldn't think so. I am 6 ft 2 and the top of the head rest hits the middle of my head. It's all about balance so if you add a little weight to the back of the head rest you could adjust the height to what ever you need to make your head rest exactly where you wanted it. Just a suggestion

I am 6'3" and the head rest seems too low. Stargrave's answer is about right.

Hmmm... my guess would be no. My husband is under 6' and he lays on it more as a headrest than for lounging in a sitting position.

I'm 5'2 and use a pillow and wedge shoes to make it comfortable. U can make it work. I do love mine & use it often.

I'm 5'8" and I tried the high loft and medium loft and I have found the high loft works best for me. The medium one was just a little low and caused neck cramps - none since I switched to the high loft. The great thing about AMazon if it doesn't work for you send it back. Save the shipping box for a few days....you'll probably know pretty soon if its working for you. Good luck! I LOVE this pillow!!

This pillow is not super tall, but it did take me a few days to get use to it. I had put my old sleep innovations pillow in my camper, and when we went camping i couldn't get over how low it seemed, and was happy to get back to my newer pillow which i had thought was on the high side until i got used to it. I have neck issue's and this pillow works for me.

I suppose it depends on how tall you are, but not really. I am 5'8" and it hits me about mid-low part of the back of my head. I can rest on it, but it doesn't cushion my whole head. I just measured mine and it looks like about 25 inches from where the seat meets it to the top.

I found it worked extremely well when I had my head turned to the side a bit and the pillow braced between the headrest and my head & neck. It worked much better than any U-shaped pillow I've ever tried.

I returned this because it was too tall/high for me and my head was too elevated, making my neck hurt and causing headaches. However, if I were a man or of larger stature (I am only 5'2" and 140lbs) this would probably be a perfect pillow. It did not compress too much and had good support all night.

The headrest is enough but this item is not made for the shorter person. The arm bar does not adjust at all so what you see is what you get. My girlfriend is on the shorter side (4'10") but I at 5'10" even felt it a bit uncomfortable with the arm position.

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.

I am a couple hairs over 5'10, and I think that the chair offers great support for me. The chair back does lay nicely behind my head with a little room to spare (for his extra height over me?). The chair back gets thinner toward the top, farther from the primary cushioned back, so my head ends up positioned a little farther back than what I prefer. The chair is still very comfortable for me without any added pillows or anything, though. I hope this helps.
