I sleep w/ my head directly on the bed & the pillow only supporting my neck. Is it small enough for this or does it raise your head off the bed?

yes, if you take about enough of the buckwheat out it would. You'd probably have to remove about half?

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 never actually used the pillow. The fill was so soft I could not sleep on it. If you are looking for a pillow that doesn't support your head buy this one.

I have tried it everyway possible, but I think it works better if you put the L shape behind your head to support the back of your neck.

I use it in a chair at home and it helps with neck pain but you shouldnt fall asleep in this, it can cause more problems if you turn your head sideways in it while asleep.Its best suited for laying on flat hard surface.A u shaped neck pillow might be best for plane seat/ trip.

I would think it would work fine. It just adds support to the neck and chin so the head doesn't fall forward when you sleep. I don't think the size of the rest of the body would matter.

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

I have only used the neck rest for traveling. I use it for sleeping on the plane and it keeps my head upright and comfortable.

I sleep on my side as well. Only reason I noticed any noise at all is because it was mentioned on reviews by those who would obsess over such things. Truth be told, one's own hair makes noise so it is about the same category as that. In other words, the brain ends up overriding these little things after a bit. On the other hand, being that the pillow conforms so well, you end up not moving nearly as much as you may trying to adjust a traditional pillow so I say it's a wash, overall.

It supports your neck if you have neck problems, but its not a pillow, if that's what you mean?It works great when my neck is real bad.

The pillow is not super firm - and it does "soften up" over time. At 54" long, this is definitely a body pillow. I sleep with it full length against my body for hip, knee and back support - I don't think it's meant to be used as a pillow for head/neck support. Hope this helps.

The pillow does have firm support. But it must be used up against the headboard of the bed or on a sofa. It cannot be used free-standing.It is very easy to move from place to place.

The queen size firm pillow helped me. I'm a side sleeper and had a pinched nerve in my neck. The pillow helped but, now one is higher than the other. I did rotate the pillows weekly. I prefer the higher pillow now.

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.

I've not found it a problem with my head on a pillow but it might depend on the shape/length of your couch. The metal rings stand about 40mm out from the headband.

no head rest only for neck...use my pillow behind it..actually head rest sounds good

This is more than a "low" pillow...this is nearly flat. If youre looking for minimal support for head while you sleep on your side it may work. It also bunches together well if you need to bulk up a little support..
