What is its PFD classification? Does it keep your head above water if you are unconscious?

Type III. Unfortunately only Type I PFDs are rated to keep an unconscious person's head above water. Type I jackets are very large, very bulky, and uncomfortable.

Minimum 90 lbs. No max mentioned. It mentions that it only needs to keep your head above water, so as long as it fits on your body, it ought to have the buoyancy to raise your head.

Not sure if the light itself floats, but if its attached to your PFD, it will be the best purchase you ever make. It's like insurance. You hope you don't need it but if you do.......

CPR quick release doesn't interfere at all with the operation of the mattress. I've never use it to facilitate getting up, as a matter of fact I never use it period. Regards

It will keep you afloat if kept full. But its not as sturdy as a life vest. So if youre new to open water, a life jacket would be safer. Wouldnt recommend it for kayaking on rocky rivers. Sharp rocks could puncture the inflated vest. Great for snorkeling.

In the back sleep position The Therapeutica pillow presents a mass of material behind the skull which induces (pushes) Forward Head Posture. The HeadRight provides total prevention of this unwanted FHP influence and can help correct FHP and spine alignment.

It does NOT keep the child afloat. It is specifically designed to help the child be more buoyant and develop comfort with the water.

Not sure. Have never heard of that one before. This is a very nice quiet water proof mattress protector.

It worked for my husband who used it on the plane to France. However, it apparently doesn't work for everyone. I guess it depends on how much you move your head when you are sleeping. One part of the pillow goes behind the head, the other part of the "T" bar rests against the side of the head and the curled opposite end rests under the chin. If the back piece slips out of position the entire system for keeping the head from falling forward fails. On the plane, I used the embrace sleep collar which definitely keeps one's head from falling forward under any circumstance but is not as cuddley as a pillow.

I think so - that was actually the problem I was having. It stopped me from moving so much that I woke up when I would have otherwise subconsciously turned over. But that no doubt depends on what kind of sleeper you are. I think it'll certainly stop you from rolling over :-)

My physician recommended this item after I broke my neck. I can swim w/o turning my head to breath. It does work well; however, swimming is not really my thing and I am not significantly enamored with the pool. Although I do plan to build strength and endurance in the pool, starting in the spring to prepare myself for whitewater kayaking.

I use it on my headstrap when wakeboarding. It looks silly as can be, but I have the camera well above my head so the backdoor can fit. I do this by using several different extensions. Here is a picture of how it is set up; http://i.imgur.com/VWH6FM5.jpg And a video of the headstrap with floaty in action; https://youtu.be/-TQ0snQ6iXA

It does not need a back flow preventer, however if your water pressure is above 80 - 90 psi, you will have to install a pressure reducing valve (prv) along with a expansion tank to prevent water blowing out of the head when a cycle shut off. This happened to me when I installed it to find out that my water pressure was 125 psi.The info was un the instructions.

I bought the medium size belt and my weight is about 150lbs. it keeps my head well above the water. When I was swimming in the Florida I pulled the belt to the front and it was very comfortable. I was swimming in the waves and belt kept me above the waves all the time, no water coming trough my head.

I have used it on planes (high back) and when sitting on the couch (low back). It does not immobilize your head as it is stuffed similar to a firm plush toy. It allows you to lean your head slightly to one side or the other while gaining support on that side's shoulder. Your head remains upright when sitting upright, if you slumped forward the pillow will not work. The head is gently "cradled" by the two wings and the chin is supported (not firmly propped up) by the "J" aspect. It does not use the back of the chair for support, rather your shoulder is the prop.

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.
