Not sure I can help you. The only way I got it to work for me was just to use it as a small pillow. Good luck with your search for a better solution

I know. I wear it backwards and upside down. I am about ready to buy a hard collar they use after neck surgery. It's the worst thing about traveling.

According to the tag, the finished dimensions are 10.125" x 7.75"x6". It doesn't say a size, not even one size fits all. I am 5'4' and most of my weight is from mid-thigh and up. Below the mid-thigh is a stick. If your thighs are heavier half way and up, then you would probably place it just above the knee. The skinnier the upper thigh the higher up the pillow could be placed. Because of the foam, your body will contour the pillow. If you have thin legs, then your legs would just rest in the curved part wherever you find it comfortable. You wouldn't want the pillow to fit too snuggly because I don't think it would be comfortable then. According to the tag, the finished dimensions are 10.125" x 7.75"x6".

In my opinion, it's more about your overall build than just your chest size. If you are a "stocky" build and have broad shoulders, you will probably want the larger size. However, if you are slim and have shoulders that are about the same width as you hips, then you probably would do better with the smaller size. If you think you are are somewhere in between those descriptions, I would buy the smaller one and try it first. Sizing these braces is not an exact science - as you can tell.

I have a 17" neck and it's tight on me. Might be a little uncomfortable at 18". Might loosen up with wear. Haven't had to opportunity to break mine in yet. Still using ear piece and mic combo.

I went with the size that is my usual shirt size. I have more of a medium frame than a large one. I wear medium sized shirts more often than I do large. That is how I determined which to buy. I will add though that I seemed to never get the thing to fit in a way that it actually worked effectively. To get it all tight enough around your midsection, and then up around your shoulder girdle required some real manipulation. When you got it all on so that it would (as it is supposed to) hold your posture- the straps around your shoulders would cut into your skin. It would remind me that I am trying to correct my posture, but not do it for me. If you are looking for a product that works better to mechanically correct your posture effectively try the Nada Chair. However, it is used only for when you are sitting.

I know they have small, medium and large sizes. From one of their descriptions they say that the large is for tall people. I am 5'7" and I got the medium and it was perfect for me. So I would think that the size pillow you should get is related to your body height. Hope this helps!

Hello Ozog! I measured it especialy for you))) Neck support area is not same thick everywhere))) Yes. From one side let's say it's bottom for me, so for my neck: right in the middle it's 3,5" and at the sides it's 4 1/4" (which is exactly my shoulder side). So when I sleep on my back it's lower and when I sleep on my side I just turn to one of sides and my shoulder relax too. But if you're man you'll enjy to turn it upside down and you'll sleep on side which is opposite to my bottom) Measurments there are 4" in the middle and 5 1/4" at the sides. Thus man shoulder will relax too. Sorry for mistakes, I always in hurry when typing. I can just add to my previous wow that time passed and I still think it's the best solution for my neck. And it's universal for man and woman. So you can turn it and find your comfortable side. If you buy it, you'll be very surprised about it shape. This picture doesn't show sides. Sellers do not realize that they could sell much more if they show sides.

What Christa K. Barker-Myers said could help you. If it is too tight, having the hammock is going to turn from something relaxing to a crazy balance act. Also, just be aware, this hammock was designed to hold two people at once, so it's center of gravity is going to be a bit different from what you would get if it was for just one person.

I'm 5'8. If you are sitting in the chair with proper posture, it will support your lower back enough to where you can sit completely straight very comfortably. If you lean back to where the top of your back is touching the chair, it still doesn't touch your neck. You would have to lean your head back in order for the chair to support your neck; it looks as though the top of the chair leans forward, but when you are sitting in it it won't support your neck unless you tilt your neck back. Kind of like a car seat.

No, one size fits all because has a belt that you can adjust according with your waist. If you can read said: 22" -46" inches that's is the size of this belt that goes around your waist. I bought this product for my Mom and cut it to adjusted to her. I hope I help you. it really help with your posture.

You need to adjust the position of where the weight hangs. It should be hanging down from your back to around your lower back area. If set up properly, you will unconsciously keep you back straight to have the weight hang rather than press up against your back if you were to slouch. At least that's the way how its worked for me.P.S. You shouldn't sit against a back rest if you are wearing the Body Rite, because the weight will press against the back rest and cause more pain than good. Only use when sitting on a backless stool, standing or walking.

Gosh, mine is nice and cozy soft. Try pulling it down or up some. Mine is at my neck for support. I even took mine to the dentist for my neck.

Elizabeth, may I ask how it's working out for you - IF - you are using this? I am very petite also, and am wondering how it will work, especially since it's pre-tied in the back? (if I'm not misunderstanding descriptions ;)Any further explanations and tips about how it works for you, would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance! Blessings... :)

It really has more to do with your neck length although my neck is pretty long and I am using the small size. I at one point tried the medium but it was too big so I sent it back. Note there is a fee for them to restock.

My neck is 14.5 and this was big for me. I had to add more Velcro so it would stay closed.

I measure mine 3" at the chin and 3 7/8" at the widest point. What I dislike is the gap left in the back which is an important stabilizing point for me. for the Embrace collar to work properly I'd need a neck like a flamingo. I found bionika collars to work much better, and also one marketed as ortopedia Somex. Buying collar by Internet is tough because we all have different needs. I advise visiting a good orthopedic supply company and try them on until you find one you like.

I have similar problems. the pillow is 5 1/2" thick. it's really perfect, because it's a very firm pillow. yet it doesn't feel firm once you put your head on it. it really is difficult to explain, when I don't even understand how it can make such a difference. after years of waking up with neck pain that would make my tendons so tight it caused severe migrains, I would tense up more and add back pain to the mixture. it is the best purchase I ever made, and I haven't had pain since 1st night I got pillow. I really recommend it, and I can't think of any other product that helps pain that I would ever recommend.
