what part of the pillow goes under your neck the big or small part

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.)

usually it is the smaller part but my husband has a thicker neck and he uses the bigger part. the point is to keep your neck level so your head is not tilted up or hanging down.

I really think it's a matter of preference. Because I am small in stature, I find the smaller end more comfortable. I also find it helpful to use as a lumbar support for your lower back. Hope this helps!

The standard pillow had a really high neck support. It is more like 4 inches. If I were to order again, I would not order the standard pillow but would try the softer one.

They take a standard size pillow. They keep their shape better with one that is firm.

Just want to add an additional response to your question, if your neck to shoulder measurement is 5 1/4 inches, at the borderline between two different size pillows, go with the smaller pillow.

under the neck it will eventually be 2 inches after months of using it every day. the sides on the back are about 4 inches and the front is about 2 1/2. I still use mine every night and it is still very comfortable after almost 2 years of use.

It was too bulky behind the neck for me as most of the neck pillows are. Might look at one of the therapeutic neck wraps (but don't need to heat it). They are generally slender in design and filled with beads (corn, millet, etc.).

yes, this one is smaller which is what I wanted, the standard sized memory foam pillows are too large and firm for me. I prefer this type which is smaller and more flexible,

if you have a big head get the big one, if you have a little head get the little one. Ive got a giant melon Size 7-7/8 hats and I got the bigger pillow. Its AWESOME!!

I'd say the air in the pillow contours to fill the area that needs support. You barely fill the pillow with any air.

Oops, looks like this IS the larger one! The small one sits atop any other pillow. AND I wash mine with no trouble.

It's about 5 1/2" thick in the large central area. The 2" refers to the thickness the compressed pillow is when coming out of the box. It expands fully in a few hours. A confusing presentation for sure and a good question. It's a very comfortable pillow to me, a side and back sleeper. Be sure to look at the price differences for the different sizes and you can save big!

The thickest point on each side is 4". There is a "channel" in the middle that cradles your head such that the 4" are supporting your neck to keep your spine straight. I originally bought my pillow from a chiropractor and have replaced them through the years from his office, but found this one on Amazon and was pleased. If you have neck or back problems, this is a great pillow!

This is for most people with the normal neck length vertically, about 3 inches. Most tall people have longer neck. If you measure a tall person vertically from the shoulder to the middle of the ear, the neck would measure from 4 to 5 inches. We make taller pillows for those tall people or people with longer neck, such as many models.

The small decorative pillows are included pillows-and-all. The shams are the ones for standard size larger pillows.

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

Yes it does. I bought this for my two year old who is on the small side, and it was too much for her. I don't know if she was too light to really sink down into pillow, but it kept her head at an uncomfortable position

It does for me. Also, gives good support if you are a side sleeper. I use it full size. Did not remove one of the sections. Takes a day or two to get use to compared to other types of pillows. I am so glad I got it.
