Core Products Soft Foam Cervical Collar Neck Support Brace, Helps Stabilize Vertebrae & Relieve Spinal Pressure for Men & Women - Black, Small Fits (1.8-2.2 inch) Height

Fits short neck people with the Small. Only 2 I could find that were 2”

I have had a very difficult time finding a cervical collar that woks for me.This one is 2" high, and works better than anything I have had or tried on. I am very pleased with it.

The size (Small) is wonderful. It's the only cervical collar that will fit my neck. I wish it were softer.The firmness may interfere with my ability to wear this cervical collar as often as I intended. I wish the manufacturer would make a soft collar in this unusual size.I just checked the back of the package and found a WARNIG in bold font: CANCER AND REPRODUCTIVE HARM.The warning is intended for California residents but I think every potential buyer should be aware of this warning. There's no indication about the source of any danger. It may be the foam. In any case, BUYER BEWARE!

I use a CPAP machine for apnea, but thanks to a horribly deviated septum (compounded by having my nose broken a few times thanks to an exciting youth) spent the majority of my life unable to properly breathe through my nose. So I’m a mouth breather, even though I can now breathe through my nose thanks to a septoplasty several years ago. Some things cannot be unlearned, at least when I sleep. Toss in apnea and all the fun of sleeping in a mask, a la Alien facehugger, and the best solution I could find is to sleep with a cervical collar. As a bonus it prevents an old neck/back injury from giving me issues.I have used several of the off white collars that work fine, but quickly look a bit funky thanks to sweat (and drool), even going so far as to keep several in rotation to have a relatively clean one available. But they eventually look funky no matter how many times washed in hot water and bleach (which is definitely not the labeled wash). This is not the only reason I chose this black colored model, as it also offers a bit more support in keeping my jaw closed while the CPAP inflates my lungs (I’m partial to the Resmed P10 sinus pillow model), thanks to the different options of thickness, 3.5” in this instance.The material is soft and washes easily. I usually wash it with my weekly linen change, running the allergy setting on the wash and machine dry on medium. Piling is minimal, or at least less visible, and still holding shape after a year of daily use (even for the ever so brief weekend naps) and wash. And no more grungy looking collar.

Not for serious cervical spine issues!!! I cannot stress enough the importance of seeking the help of an orthopedist and/or cervical spine surgeon if you are in serious nerve pain--I mean the kind of pain where you can no longer function in life, avoid activities, etc. On 7/2/14, I began what has been a year-long journey that has tested me to the limit. After a 7/5/2014 visit to the ER due to pain, I was directed to see a general practitioner (GP) and encouraged to wear a foam cervical collar if it helped. What I found is that, when worn as directed, it supported under the chin, but provided no support to the back side of the neck. Too bad I had a severely pinched nerve on back side of the neck, which this type of collar actually exacerbated. I quit wearing it. I knew I had a pinched nerve because I had numbness, tingling, and burning pain in the fingers of my left hand. Unfortunately, my medical insurance company forced me to undergo weeks of physical therapy (PT) that didn't work. Bear in mind that PT can solve many people's neck-pain issues.The GP requested an MRI twice, each of which was rejected by my health insurance. I got an appointment with an orthopedic, who immediately got approval for the MRI. It showed I had Displacement of Cervical Intervertebral Disk w/ Myelopathy. It took until 10/1/14 to get surgery, a Left C5-6 and C6-7 (Posterior) Laminoforaminotomy/Microdiscectomy. This minimally invasive surgery (w/ a one-inch scar) helped me become functional again in life, but I was unable to get more than 25% relief from pain.A March 2015 MRI showed that those same two disks were continuing to degenerate--that I had Cervical Spondylosis Without Myelopathy. On 5/20/2015, I had a "spinal fusion," a C5-6 and C6-7 Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) With Allograft and Autograft Bone Graft--and an overnight hospital stay. I now have a metal plate with three screws holding my C5, C6, and C7 vertebrae together while my body grows bone to fill-in where the two disks once were. I am finally experiencing real relief--nearly 85%!!! Post-surgery, the surgeon issued a ProCare Transitional 172 Cervical Collar that I could take off to eat and sleep during the first 4 weeks. It completely stabilizes the cervical spine. For the next 5 months, I only have to wear it if I'm out of the house--in the car, outdoors, or in places with stairs or other trip hazards. The collar is specially sized, depending on YOUR neck measurements. DO NOT just buy one of these on-line! If you're in that much discomfort, for heaven's sake, see a doctor. Do not postpone. If you have severe disk degeneration, remember that the disks are what hold your spine together. In a vehicular or other accident, you are at high risk of paralysis if your disks are more-or-less gone. If you have true nerve pain symptoms, skip the GP and get to an orthopedist. Don't suffer as long as I had to! If surgery is needed, find a cervical spine specialist with an excellent record--don't settle! I hope this is helpful

Wife swears by them. Fits well, protects, durable and easy to put on and off. A+

Be warned, those of us with short necks! The size labeled 2 inches is actually 2.5 inches! Pushed my chin up to the ceiling. Very disappointed.

As described, so far works quite well without problems. Very pleased with purchase.
