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 wonderfully, great price. As comfortable as a cervical collar could be. My neck is 12.5". It's the only one I was able to find that was small enough to fit me correctly. (Of course, it's adjustable so it can fit larger necks as well).

It is very comfortable and supportive. Quality seems to be good. It does seem a bit long but that might be because I have a slender neck.

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!

This size was perfect and easy to wear! Really held Neck feel Better!

Bought the first one as a test. It did the trick, so I ordered two more and have all three in rotation. Summers these days are hot enough, but adding a thick piece of foam around my neck to my daily attire just makes me sweat even more, hence the three in rotation. One for morning, change out the wet morning collar for a dry afternoon collar and still have a dry one to sleep in and for the following morning, while the first two are drying. Works well, fits right and facilitates a return to more normal activity level for me.

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

soothing....feels wonderful. It is plush and heavy with innards that heat up well.

...at least I get some use first out of most of the things that end up in the trash. First, some background: I'm pretty seriously disabled with multiple sclerosis, I have to sleep in my recliner because I can't get into a bed. If I don't use some kind of neck brace my head hangs down and hurts my neck and upper back muscles terribly since I also never seem to be able to lie back far enough to prevent that from happening. I really need a different recliner, but that's another story. I originally purchased the 2", (mostly because I really wasn't paying enough attention :^\ ), and it never did what I needed it to, I foolishly thought that the problem was just the height, so I purchased the 3". I'm not sure what I was thinking because my very first thought when I got the 2" was that the padding was much too skinny, there's just no thickness there at all to aid in supporting your head. When I got the 3" that problem seemed extremely exaggerated. When I put it on, no matter how snuggly, it offers no support whatsoever. My head can flop right over because this thing will just fold over with no resistance to it at all. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone for any purpose, a complete waste of my money. I had intended to write this review after my first day with it, unfortunately, it's taken a little longer than that. I wish I had done it then, maybe I could've saved someone from dealing with this thing.
