Prospera iShape Pillow

I have tried  The Original McKenzie Cervical Roll Neck Support #703 , which was not supportive enough for me. I have also tried the  DogBones NeckBones Neck Pillow, Medieval Blue ...great for sitting up...not for laying down. The Prosepra iShape provides the perfect support for my neck. I sleep with a firm down pillow (down never is firm actually). One reviewer commented on the hard ends. This doesn't cause me any trouble as I straighten it out almost completely, and I have never found it uncomfortable. Very plush texture and firmness. Very comfortable. I have used mine almost every night for 6 months...I am ordering a replacement as it is not as firm now as I'd like. The fabric has remained almost like new. For the price, I don't mind replacing it. I plan to take this on my trip to Europe for use on the plane (it is very flexible/moldable, and you can shape it however you want) as well as for sleeping.

I started getting neck and back pain - not sure how it started. Regular pillows were making it worse so decided to try just supporting my neck. This looked like it would do the job perfectly. Seems to work better than several way more expensive pillows I've tried. The pain isn't totally gone but it hurts less in the mornings.It started squeaking after I washed it once but still works well.

The product description says "Filled with thousands of cushy micro beads," but it feels like it's made of some sort of foam rather than "microbeads." It does have a wire running along its length, which allows you to shape it. But when I use it under my neck it isn't comfortable at all. In fact it hurts a sore spot on one of my neckbones. I assume the pillow is for people who sleep on their back, since I haven't found any way to use it for side-sleeping.Because you can shape it, you can position it around the sides and top of your head and use it to help keep your head from flopping around into awkward positions while you sleep. But that doesn't help with keeping your head from tilting too far forward or back any more than sleeping without a pillow.The ends of the pillow have hard plastic discs inside. I assume this is so the pillow will hold its shape on the ends, but these discs will cut into your neck or shoulders if you happen to shift position onto the ends of the pillow during the night. This limits the way you can use the pillow. Unfortunately there does not seem to be any easy way of removing the discs.

I first got one of these as a 'freebie' with a massage cushion - ended up loving the neck support and throwing out the massage cushion. I have serious and chronic neck disk disease and this helps to prevent a lot of pain when I'm sitting with insufficient neck support. You can twist it any way you want, bending one side one way and the other a different way, whatever the situation specifically calls for. I've even used it while lying in bed reading - bent in a 'U' shape it offers big support. I used the first one so much I wore it out, so thank you, Prosepra and Amazon, for providing a replacement! My only 'teensy negative' about this product is that it would be great to have a removable/washable cover, and be available in other, perhaps less 'brilliant' colours - but at the price, can't complain too much because the benefits outweigh any negatives for sure.

I bought my husband and I these pillows for travel and we love them. They can bend, they're soft, the material doesn't make your skin sweat and they're very supportive.

The description makes it sound as if your headed for peaceful dreams. Unless you are on Amtrak or in a chair, forget it. It has VERY hard end pieces that are not mentioned in the description. This makes it impossible to use when lying down. IT HURTS. I give it 2 stars because there are some folks who want to use it sitting up, and, for these people, it would be adequate.

Item is very hard and uncomfortable so I don't recommend purchasing this unless you like a very hard pillow surface.

Bought for my husband but he prefers his travel neck pillow. Think it’s just a matter of personal choice.

There is a large 1 inch in diameter steel rod in this that makes it bend it is more. Comfortable to use. I am now using as a door draft blocker.
