Might this work as a face-down pillow, like on a massage table? Thanks!

There is fabric over the butt pillow. You would need to remove that. Short of having a massage table, I can't see how you would use this, say face down on a bed unless you were interested in self suffocation or placing it on a toilet seat for a comfortable yak.

Well I'm not sure how soft a massage pillow is but the hole is big enough for your face to go through. I think it might be uncomfortable after a while because of how firm it is.

No, I really don't think so. It's probably too large, and would be suffocating unless you removed the fabric, at which point I think it would likely be irritating to the face.

I'm not sure. The foam is rather firm. The cover goes across the middle hole, you might have to cut a hole in the cover in order to breathe. A chiropractic table has the hole at the same level as the table; but your neck would be forced up onto the pillow, which I would think would put a strain on your neck that would not be too comfortable.

It's pretty soft and smaller than a standard size pillow. I guess it could work as a knee pillow, I use it along with my regular head pillow.

Hi Kiki, regarding this pillow, I really like it a lot. As a person who sleeps on their back, it's very comfortable and really helps my chronic neck pain but using this pillow for sleeping on my side doesn't work at all for me. It's not comfortable and my face does slide back into the center of the pillow. I hope this helps you. Sandy

Nope, though it doesn't come up enough for me to actually use it as a pillow, still use an actual pillow or something approximately pillow like.

I think so but haven't tried to use it as one. I got these for my mom as gifts and she uses one as a back cushion and one as a neck pillow in her recliner. It would probably work well as a knee cushion. It is a great size.

This isn't a pillow for sitting on. It's for resting the back of your neck and head on, or maybe your elbow when you are sitting in a chair. My mother-in-law is bedfast and uses it for her bed pillow.

I think it would be okay but not ideal after you place your head/neck on it. I think it would work much better on a smooth surface, less possible shifting and movement. Could you put a tray of some kind under it when you use it?

Yes. Some. I used this on my face and neck. I guess you could say it did work for the neck cause mine is sleek and slender. However nodding down my double chin shows. Bleh!

You could, but this is relatively soft and the massaging action is not great. I rely on it more for the heat in the winter against leather seats. I have more expensive, massaging cushions that are better massagers and would be better for chairs. I also have one that you can use flat on a bed that is wonderful, too, as an option.

Yes, I would not use it as a pillow. It is best used for kids. It is very narrow and short for normal sized adults.

If you mean to use it for your head, I wouldn't recommend it, it is very firm (hard). I use it for a butt cushion in an office chair. I'm overweight and it supports me.

This is a great little table, easy to use and very portable. If you are going to lay on your back it will work great. The doughnut pillow allows some clearance for the nose and mouth so you can breathe, but does contact the face and forehead, so you could not lay on your stomach with a facial.

Absolutely not! I had to send it back because it was way too painful for my back. It has the Shiatsu roller balls that rotate preventing you from laying down. You would be better off with a regular massage mat for a chair, which you would be able to lay on.

I don't see why not. The pillow isn't attached to the pad. So you can move it to whatever position you like. It does feel a bit like a bed of nails, though.

Massage tables aren't typically designed to be slept on overnight, I'd worry about neck problems. Plus the wear to the table. If you were to go the massage table route, I'd recommend a stationary table, way more stable & less creaky. Probably best to check with your doctor before going through the trouble though. Good luck!

I think it would be too big for that. I'd check Amazon for cervical pillows first. Also it is probably too firm for comfort as it's designed for conforming to the weight of your body at the lumbar region.

I would say no. This pillow isn't much different than a regular pillow. Definitely softer and a bit more plush but I don't think it would prevent your head from fling to one side or the other.
