It looks bulky in the back. could you lay down on your back comfortably with it around your neck

Absolutely. The filling molds to your manipulations. You don't really need to, but I let a few beads out of one of mine and sewed the hole back up.

It can be bulky in areas, but the content is shiftable so that you can flatten it more where you wish to. I slept using mine for my shoulder and neck, and had no problem making it comfy. It has good adjustability in fitting it. However, and it's a big however, I had to return mine for two reasons. One - it does not hold heat well, even when using the maximum microwave time. Two - it has an objectionable odor, present right out of the box but much increased by heating. These two issues keep me from recommending it, even though you asked only about the bulk :). Good luck...

I did not lie down while wearing it, but I didn't notice it being bulky while I was reclining on my couch.

Not very comfortably, I have to elevate or bend my legs due to back & leg nerve issues, so that may be a factor. The wrap was very heavy compared to the new more expensive one I purchased, so it was difficult to get comfortable with in many positions. Like I mentioned, I use & like many Carex products, this is the first one that fell short a bit for me. I hope this is helpful.

Yeah this should work well for you! I really like mine, I don't have to strain my neck so often.

I have always used it sitting up. I would think it works best that way, but honestly I don't know about lying down with it. I do think you have to be sortof careful not to overinflate it, as you can easily put too much pressure on your cervical spine.

It would be hard to do to get the full effect of this product. I think it was designed to be used while lying down so that the neck muscles are fully relaxed and the device on firm surface.

It wouldn't fit well. It's more for flat to back. I had the renue contoured one for a long time and it was perfect for the neck. I actually preferred that one and may order it again.

The chair shape is rigid. Very comfy on your back, but you would have to be shaped wierd to lie on it on your belly. So the answer to your question is no.

Maybe if you lay it down on its back. But it is pretty big therefore it might be a tight fit

i think it is very good for back sleepers, the roll supports your neck. very comfortable!!!

I did not use it for that reason but I would think do. It would look better and be more comfortable.

It would be difficult to sleep in any other way than on your back. It is certainly more banana shaped than flat. I hope this helps.

I fastened it in the last place where the padding would meet because I thought it would be uncomfortable if I extended it. All there would be in the back part of neck is velcro. I think your neck would need the cushioning when you sat in a tall chair or were trying to sleep. I measured the interior where it would fit against the neck and it measured 21 1/2" and you need some "slack" to be comfortable.

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.

I would say no. A standard neck pillow would be more practical and comfortable.

Mary, it is a neck pillow, a comfortable pillow as pictured. Were you wanting to sit on it? It might be a bit too small for that application. But would work behind your back (at the small of your back) and on your neck or to rest an arm onto the pillow. I like using it for a sleeping pillow as I have never liked big bulky pillows. The fabric is wonderful, soft and cool.

Yes you can lay flat on your back. It is very comfortable. I am SO glad I got it.

The band is rather floppy along the back of your neck, so laying on the band will not move the earpieces in your ears. You will feel its presence though. In my opinion, the only time the band feels awkward is when wearing a fleece or vest that zips all the way up your neck and the collar unfolds to cover the back of your neck. I have to make sure the band fits inside the collar or else it bounces around when running.

No place to do that and it would be too heavy around your neck. You could put in a fanny pack or small carry case eadily though.
