is it neck heavy? do I need to worry about neck dives?

I really think the debate on neck dive is more picking nits than anything. This is the first Bass I've ever owned, so as a learning player I have not found the neck dive to be a bother. Yes, if you let go of it the neck is going to dive, however it's easy enough to keep it in place with a 3" strap and one other thing. The worse option being light upward pressure from the fretting hand, or (in my experience) just resting your plucking hand forearm along the slope of the back top of the guitar. This keeps it in perfect position for playing anyhow and completely negates the neck dive.

Personally I don't think it's bad at all. you shouldn't have much trouble with it

This mattress is med-soft NOT firm. My neck would hurt every morning from sinking into the mattress If you want firm you will need to get one that has 4lb's of memory foam. Its NOT the amount (inches) of foam but the pounds per inches.

Well OK, it is firm and plush. With the pillow top. I'm about 260 lb. And I didn't have any sinking issues. At I did find myself not using any pillows to sleep so the bed can better contour my body. Once it off the bed it breaths. And regain shape and comfort. I think you'll like it. Good luck. Remember one getting a new mattress let your body get used to it

The neck strap is ok, but get yourself a harness instead they are the way to go. No neck strain and your bios won't flop around

i think its pretty heavy. I'm a 6'0 250 guy and i can tell you its not light when i have to carry it. i usually don't fill it up to the top of the bottle. mold starts to form when water sits around.

I haven't tried laying entirely on it, but I have put it under my neck when I was prone. It might be just fine, but I haven't tried it. One of the discs does clack loudly when I put much weight on it or against it. Although the clacking makes it sound like it's going to break, or at least slip, it never has. The clacking might be a safety mechanism to make sure that the mechanism doesn't get strained to the breaking point.The "pillow" does feel very sturdy to me, but I just haven't been willing to fully test its strength, just in case it might break.

It's not real super firm. I find it very comfortable and that's unusual for me because I have a bad neck. I would definitely buy it again.

No it's not too heavy it's 1 lb 11 oz, but it will not collapse at all. Unless you take out some of the filling. So if the space is not an issue, cool take it:) it's more like neck pillow though.

I use it mainly for my lower back. I do however feel a release of pressure all along my spine while inverted. It may well help your neck.I hope this has been of assistance to you.

I can't speak for everyone, but for me, no, not at all. There are two indentations to cradle the neck and my shoulder tucks into the curve so that my neck feels very supported. I don't feel like I am at the edge or that my head will slip off at all. It is really nice have the two places to rest my head because I am one of those people who shifts the pillow when it is warm to find a cool spot. You can face either way in the indentation and when I am facing out (away from the center of the pillow) there is a generous hand width from my face to the edge of the pillow. The pillow has square edges and is firm, so it is not like a regular pillow that slopes away on the ends--you get the same support the entire width of the pillow.

2-3 Times heavier than normal, though I don't think it should affect your ride noticeably

The pillow is pretty thick and hard...too hard for me. I have never used it and have been wanting to sell it on Craigs List. I have had neck surgery and have always liked using a thin down pillow that I could bunch up under my neck for support where I needed it. Want to buy my pillow at a good price?

I think my neck gets tired. But it's a great answer for me that has a spoiled kid. She is 8lbs and goes everywhere with me. I do recommend it highly,wish I would have had that idea.

I don't get any neck strain because I use this in restaurants, on the bus, in the library, etc. to get fast flowing ideas "on paper". I will later transfer the writings and notes to my computer for editing, spell checking, etc. Therefore accuracy during the initial entry of thoughts is not important.

Ralph, One of the leading features of this pillow is the support it gives when the head falls to one side. Whether it would be adequate for your neck I do not know but its lateral support is one of the things I like the best about it.

That's difficult to answer, since that's a everyone's anatomy responds differently. That said, I think it's quite firm. Not hard, but I never sink down into it. I don't sleep on my stomach due to neck and back issues, so I can't say with any confidence when it would be like. But soft is not the way I would describe this bad.
