Does it put pressure on the neck? Push into the base of the skull?

I purchased the gentle support pillow. At first there is a little resistance on the neck when you are "breaking in" the pillow but it recedes. I am a side sleeper so the support is in the middle of the neck on my side. Your skull will be in the middle of the pillow - where the hole is. No "pushing" on the skull (to me it feels like my skull is resting in someone's cupped hands.

Alittle, my husband loves it, he is bigger than me. I like it laying in my side best. It puts your head at the correct angle. I prefer a softer pillow but this gives better support than a softer one.

I only used it a few nights, but it was prescribed for me to RELIEVE neck pressure. I was used to a down pillow, very fluffy and soft. This was much firmer. And of course recessed for the neck and head.

No. Absolutely NO. It does put your head/neck in a neutral position, however it is a cheapo made in china piece of crap version. The plastic is very flimsy and will eventually weaken, causing your head to rest on the flat hard plastic on the bottom which is very uncomfortable. You get what you pay for. They should have made this with a durable poly urethane type solid material or even thicker plastic for that matter.

It's really more across the base of your skull than really on your neck (which isn't really that much of a difference, I realize, but I mean if you have short hair, it's still across where the hair would normally be cropped). Still have mine, it's pretty solid.

No, but you can wear it on your top teeth or bottom teeth and it hits different places.

No, it appears to be stuffed with a very soft material. It does not change its shape, which I assume it would do if it had those little beads (as the standard neck pillow with beads does).

NO. As you can see from my previous post it did NOT make my neck tioghten up AT ALL.

Yes, it stabilizes the neck area very sturdily. We are atill using ours after three years.

Hi Christian, my experience with this hood is that it did not have too much pressure on the nose. It stayed where it was supposed to without causing discomfort. However, I am using this piece beneath a resin costume helmet for comfort and not for athletics, so I haven't really stressed tested it. My only complaint is that it's a little baggy in the neck. Hope that helps!

No, did not cause a flat head on my grandson. He wasn't in it 24/7 though. Maybe a half hour at a time.

Hi...I have found that my head sinks nicely into the pillow - not soft and not hard - very comfortable. However "cool" doesn't seem to work as I had expected. Hope this helps you.

It pushes under your chin and against your shoulders as it inflates. It stretches the neck quite well.

Hello. It doesn't use too much pressure against your head. You can tell the main (power) button from the volume button. The middle button is the power button and the top and bottom ones are the volume buttons. Hope this helps.

it does..however it also makes the back of the neck sweat after a few hours.

I haven't experience acupuncture but the needles on the mat are more like what a massage therapist might do by applying pressure on a muscle.... except there's many needles... so the effect is all over your back all at once. The pillow, placed under the neck, gets at those little muscles at the base of your skull. It's all quite relaxing once you get past the initial little bit of pain from the sharp points pressing on so many places at once.

It should. It really just cradles the head so it doesn't have pressure in one spot. I used it until I got a StarBand helmet for my daughter who had classic brachycephaly (flat back of the head). If you child has this ask your pediatrician about a referral for a StarBand. It has worked wonders, her head is almost completely rounded out after 3 months!

The prongs do need to contact the throat to feel the vibration so,yes,they push into the throat slightly.The collar does not have to be really tight but just make continual contact .This particular model didnt work for my husbands Peekachu because of his build/lack of neck area vs the size of the receiver. Im a K-9 trainer and have used Bark Collars with great success for many yrs so I do have some background on the collars and their use.Also,just a FYI just in case no ones knows this,These collars(bark collars of all brands) should NEVER be left on the dog continually like a regular collar. The prongs will rub sores on the neck.
