is this cushion firm enough to treat an adult with neck pain. I am looking for something quite firm with an indent to cradle head...

I don't think so - the base of the pillow is the least firm part and so would probably not provide the support that you are looking for. Good Luck!

Works for me! I definitely recommend this brand & type of wedge pillow. I bought the down alternative wedge pillow (no feathers). Besides watching TV from bed occasionally, I am a side sleeper, so along with the wedge, I use a softer King size pillow or body size pillow in front of it. I would say it would not be comfortable by itself unless you sleep on your back & like a firmer pillow. This is not a pillow you sink your head into. I purchased wedge pillow cases w/velcro fasteners that definitely shape the pillow into a firmer wedge. I suggest the covers to protect the pillow and keep the pillow shape from getting sloppy. I too used to sleep with 2 pillows to prop my head up, for sleep apnea & sinus issues, but inevitably the pillows would slide or loose their shape. This wedge pillow has been my best solution yet. I suggest contacting Downlite site(I believe they make these pillows) customer service to see if they have the cases available. I purchased them last year, but haven't seen them listed on their site again.

I looked at this sleeper at a store today because I was concerned about the reports of flat head and neck problems. It looks like it would be very simple to add your own support and cushioning if this were a worry. Has anyone done this with success who could advise me?

I used these pillow inserts on a couch, but only for docorative purposes. The material is polyester, which is relatively soft, and perhaps softer than you prefer. I would suggest looking into a foam rubber material. I'm not exactly certain of the firmness you are looking for. I do enjoy mine however. Good luck!

I disliked the pillow. It is hard as a rock. I sleep on my back & it did not work for me. Costco has a pillow that is firm, but it can still fit under the neck & gives good support. I do not recommend My Pillow at all.

No, the pillows are down pillows so your head sinks into them. I prefer firm pillows due to a neck injury I sustained a few years ago, but these are perfect because they form to the contour of my neck and back. But offer the support I need.

Dear Cate, It is difficult to say. This is a 3" wool topper, it feels like a dream when one settles in for the nite, to me, at least. The neck pain - find a lo-impact chiropractor. Avoid the neck-crackers. You need gentle adjustment.

Hi, the answer is not very. I was looking for a much firmer pillow. However, if you are looking for one that is not, this is the pillow for you. Best.

This is some rather firm kind of foam and not very thick. 1/3"??? I don't think it would be good for an adult standing on for long periods of time and I think it would be too soft to aupport a chair. I got it for an infant to use under her jumping chair to soften her landings.

Not very. I'm having major low-back problems when I wake up. I'm looking for a way to make it feel firmer or else I'll have to find a firmer one. Good luck!

This cushion was a lifesaver for me. I fell and cracked my tailbone and could not stand the pain when I sat down until I purchased this item. It is a fairly firm foam, so should be able to relieve the pressure when you sit on it.Hope it helps you!

They are similar to other foam pillows but this one I would honestly say it's firm but soft. You won't wake up with your neck hurting if you get these. I've also noticed I don't toss and turn as much in the night anymore. Hope this helped!

it is firm but soft to give your neck proper support.....does hold your head from falling back. Take the chance and buy it. THEY ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE IN AIRPORTS AND STORES!!!

It's a very soft pillow, at least the one that I had received. I would put my back against it, and it would just fold and I would feel myself slumping down immediately. If you want support or a firmer pillow, this is not the one.

The pillow definitely leans more toward firm than soft. I would even call it "supportive" versus "firm." It sort of flexes with your neck/head after a few uses. My husband prefers a softer pillow and he does not like this pillow.

To be perfectly honest with you, I purchased this for my 84yr. old mother, to help keep her neck from hurting when she would fall asleep watching the t.v. She HATED IT. My daughter used it on a trip to Hawaii, and could not use it because it was VERY uncomfortable, she felt like it was strangling her, and had to take it off. Your neck size sounds about like her neck size, same as mine. I would say, save your money and just use a small pillow. I could have gotten my money back, but would have had to pay for the shipping, and had paid enough already. That's "our" honest opinion, hope it helps.

I'm not sure. I would think it might help with the neck pain... But I mostly don't feel much on my neck while using the pillow. I mostly use the pillow for my head and shoulders. It seems to help.
