Will this pillow help with neck and lower back pain?

I actually find it a bit uncomfortable for my neck with a normal pillow; I need a much softer pillow with the wedge I use (which is 7 inches not 12). The pillow is really designed more to alleviate reflux, which it does for me, and maybe reduce snoring if you have sleep apnea.

It has helped my back (which I have had problems with for 40 years) and my ability to breath tremendously. I still have to use a neck pillow but it does seem to feel better since I've been elevating it. Remember, this is a high wedge and you do sleep at a pretty high angle.

Yes it can. It can support the back when it placed properly behind the back. It is soft and firm enough to support the back and neck also. This pillow is great for those whose back muscles are not strong. I use it to behind my back when I want to sit up for long periods of time while I am reading my favorite book or watching TV.

I can't really say because I bought it to reduce reflux and for that purpose it really helps;I don't have to sleep with 3-4 pillows instead!! Keep in mind this is a high one though.My husband has a lower one (7") and likes it also.

It doesn't specifically say that on the packaging, but the instructions that come with it will tell you how to achieve a soft to firm feel. You can manipulate the pillow to your comfort. I love it simply because I don't wake up in the morning with a sore neck any more...I feel like my head/spine are in better alignment while I sleep.Hope this helps.

I am a side sleeper and have neck and shoulder pain. At 3AM, I got out of bed and found my old pillow to use instead of the instrument of torture provided by Pacific Coast. I don't think this pillow is good for anything, except perhaps to cushion fragile goods during a move. It's JUNK.

I have arthritis in my neck and suffered incredible neck pain & severe headaches. I purchased the Tri-Core, Standard regular size pillow. It took about a week for my body to adjust to it and now I rarely wake up with the pain. Hope it works for you.

It is for the neck only. Which might relieve some pain down the spine depending on your physical issues, but it will only stretch the neck.

Yes, it has support for side sleepers that helps to support your head and neck and keep your spine on alignment as you sleep.

I found the BICOR Sciatic Saddle Pillow gave me more pain than comfort, and certainly "no gain" in relieving pain in any area of my body.No, it didn't help as a back support. I should have returned it.

I use this pillow as a side sleeper but sometimes on my back. I receive excellent support both ways. I would say that it would depend on a person's build though.

It can, depending upon what is causing the neck and shoulder pain. Mostly, it helps gently re-align vertebrae, and safely stretch back muscles. You must be consistent with its use. And use it frequently, for short periods of time, rather than spend a half hour once a day on it. I would ask your physician's opinion on it first. It is spendy and difficult to return if it doesn't work.

I believe it did but all you need to know is to put in on the back of your neck just under the two bones on the side of the center of your head. Let your head fall back slightly and get immediate relief from you neck pain. Also relieves headaches! After about 10 min. turn you head to the right and then to the left for about 5 min. I might hurt slightly for the first couple times but increase min. slowly and you will eventually turn to it whenever you head or neck hurts. I believe I saw pictures of how to use it on line. perhaps you could look it up.

I honestly can't answer your question if this cushion will help your back and hip pain. It has helped me, especially in the car. I've bought several of this style of cushion. Bed, Bath, and Beyond has one in the store that I bought because I had to have it that day. It works but is not as thick as this one and therefore doesn't provide as much cushion.

I love mine!!! I have severe neck and shoulder issues and have bought so many pillows! I even had the water one suggested by the chiropractor and paid soooo much for it! It seems now that I think about it that mine got more comfortable as time passed I love mine wouldn

This item can help your posture while sleeping. It helps conform the neck for proper cervical alignment when worn.

Yes,I really like it. I had a bad whip lash years ago and this pillow helps me a lot when my neck pain acts up.

Thanks for your question, After searching this product, I found the neck pillow in black here: Duro-Med Relax-a-Bac, Lumbar Back Support Cushion Pillow with Insert and Strap to Properly Align the Spine and Ease Lower Back Pain, BlackI hope this helps!

Depends if you have a short neck or long, so position accordingly. Although my neck is shorter after a whiplash injury, I need the firm support of the long-neck side. Also, people with a reflux problem need to keep their head elevated during sleep. (Aside: This pillow was too narrow, I found another/better choice for me.)

My lower back was so bad that I had surgery to fuse some lumbar disks. The pillow was a life saver. you have to position and reposition the pillow at times. The straps that hold to a chair are useful only to carry it. It is not a posture pillow.
