would be using this for sleeping upright at night, not for neck problems. Would this be a suitable? I am looking for something with a lot of support.

I use this item for this very purpose...to hold my neck immobile and upright. The only thing I would change would be to make it about an inch shorter so it would fit under my chin better. You can get a lot of support by pumping up the pressure.

I do not believe that it would be comfortable enough to use for a long period of time. The instructions state to use it 2 or 3 times a day for 10 to 20 days. It is not that comfortable when fully inflated. However, I do have a serious neck problem.

I believe this would provide support but it could be dangerous to wear something like this while sleeping. I would definitely consult with a doctor first.

This item can help your posture while sleeping. It helps conform the neck for proper cervical alignment when worn.

I get the standard support pillow. I am 5'6" and 140 pounds and it works great for me. There are two sides....a thicker side and and smaller side. Dependent on which I need is what I sleep on. If you have a chance to go by chiropractors office to "take a look" do. However, order from Amazon, these are the BEST prices. Great pillow and really helps my neck and with sleeping. Good luck

I use it for sleeping on my side. I guess you need to decide how high you are comfortable having your head when you lie on your back.

I'm a back sleeper anyway so this is very good for stabilizing support of my head in a good position. Comfortable feeling and still possible to side sleep if desired. However, your lifetime sleeping habits may not change "overnight" due to a pillow's shape!

I looked at this sleeper at a store today because I was concerned about the reports of flat head and neck problems. It looks like it would be very simple to add your own support and cushioning if this were a worry. Has anyone done this with success who could advise me?

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 believe it would be a good pillow to use if you have neck and shoulder pain and sleep on your side. The pillow is firm and supportive enough to keep your neck in a comfortable position. It is also flexible enough to shape to conform to individual preferences.

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.

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.

yes it sure did for me. I loved the pillow but it was just not for my neck pain/injuries. if it had been a shorter rise (low rise) I'd have kept it. it does not push down much when you sleep on it and it holds it's firmness. yet it's not hard like some foam pillows are. if they ever make a low rise pillow I'm going to get it as I really wanted to keep it. for a good neck it would be perfect.

This is more like a chair, I wouldn't use it for sleeping, unless you want to sleep more upright. I use it with my laptop.

I never sleep with anything under my head when on my back. It's very bad for your neck and spine. I would suggest getting a neck support type pillow and using that to cradle your neck while sleeping. You will be amazed at how much better you will feel in the morning. I got these pillows to basically fill space on the king sized bed we bought. They make good "body pillows" also, but may be too firm for a back sleeper. Just my opinion. Hope this helped.

This would work so well. While on the plane, coach bus or on the ferry- I didn't need to lean on the chair for support. I simply rested my chin on the third arm of the pillow and it was comfortable. The pillow comes with a flyer for several different positions you can use the pillow.

i think it is very good for back sleepers, the roll supports your neck. very comfortable!!!

The semi roll pillow pillow is great for neck support. My husband I find that it works best without a thick regular pillow underneath. We even take them when we travel. For us they are the best amount of softness to be comfortable.

I also usually sleep on my side (sometimes back, never stomach) and I got the high loft and love it. My neck feels very well supported and the plushness of the pillow allows your head to sink into it comfortably without keeping your neck up at a weird angle or making your ear feel squished.My only other tip would be to make sure you get king size pillow cases. These pillows are long and stick out of normal size pillow cases. Not a big deal since the cover is nice and soft, but it annoys me.
