My concern is regarding the cushioned area where your head/neck rests. I have had 2 neck surgeries. Does it offer support ?

I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for but I will tell you it definitely lacks lumbar support. I always end up putting at least one pillow behind my back.

Yes there is support in a reclining position...otherwise is like a normal chair.

I think the indentation is intended more for the neck, but the pillow's surface has enough give so I've never felt my face was smashed when sleeping on my side. I can't be sure it would be adequate for your needs. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

Not that I notice when I used it. I had to stop using it and go back to my specialized PT pillow because I am fused from C3-C7. Most pillows are not comfortable because of that

I do feel a slightly stiff area, close or almost over lower stitch area of backrest. Seems there is an area right below and above stitch that does not have adequate amt of cushioning material. But I don't have issues with that. It would be a good idea if you place something soft, thin, with some cushioning in that area of your back so you don't feel it.

Sorry. I can not really help you as I sleep only on one side or the other and for that it is acceptable as I have a chronic neck problem that requires a certain head elevation in order to be comfortable.

My husband has, which is as tall as you...it supports your neck in the back. It is its own support system. If you get my drift..it holds your neck up and cushioned all the way around. I hope this helps

yeah, guess it does say that -- actually I'd not buy this product if you are looking for a cushion to compensate for posture -- it has 8 pads that provide several levels and modes of vibration -- also heat. I use the vibration functions to assist my really skrewed-up lumbar and it provides considerable relief, quickly, and with some lasting effect. pads at back of thigh (hamstrings') and mid back at base of trapezius and bottom of shoulder blades provides a lot of relief -- but that's MY back. If you're getting chronic issues because of posture or upper-body mass distribution I'd probably look for a different product.

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.

I guess I never felt the u-shaped pillow did that but I would say this pillow is better anyway because of the extra J flap. It gives your head support from an additional angle.

It allows me to bend my neck back and rest my occipital bone on the top of the chair back but does not support the entire back of my head. I'm 5'4" and have a small torso so keep that in mind.

Im not 100% since i only bought the Standard support. But i beleieve it has to do witht he Fill density. The standard support is firm, similar to how a memory foam pillow would feel, but with the added benefit of the contours

I would have to say it's more for lumbar/back relief. But, maybe it's worth a try. If the back is straight and supported, then the rest of things usually fall into place too. I have a Tempur Pedic cushion to sit on for my office chair and it helps me in that department.

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.

Yes, it has support for side sleepers that helps to support your head and neck and keep your spine on alignment as you sleep.

Yes, it works for me who has a cervical spine problem. I find I have to lie with my head higher up on the pillow than normally in order to support my shoulders. I do find that readjusting the pillow is a little awkward for me due to the weight of the pillow versus a regular lighter weight foam pillow. I would purchase it again.

When traveling coach class and even often in business/first, my neck would give me fits, including invariably ending up with a head/neck ache. The unnatural position on an airplane seat is horrible. Although this is not a pillow and will not prevent one from swaying when asleep, it has greatly minimized the discomfort and it has pretty much eliminated the head and neck aches when on a flight. I am also an avid reader and sporadically will put this on for a while to "straighten" my neck out. Good luck. It's a good product.

Yes it does. The whole surface where you lie down is padded. You can adjust the headrest as well (2 positions).
