I am 5'6" I ordered the medium. I feel that my neck is rather unsupported. Anyone with this problem?

I am 5-10. I also bought the medium. I believe the product's purpose is to provide lumbar support to your back. I may be wrong, but I don't think it is intended to support your neck. Looking at the shape, you can tell emphasis is on the lumbar portion of your back. For that purpose, I an very happy with mine.

I'm sorry to hear that, but It is called a - Ergonomic Orthopedic Back Rest. Not a neck rest or support. You would have to buy a neck brace for neck support.

when seated you should keep an upright position if possible. Also, another general advice to help with back ache problems. is that during your sleep in bed you should always sleep on your right side and more important you should always sleep in the fetal position keeping your back in a curve. Never sleep on your back! I hope this helps. Another thing might help you is that you should purchase a tempur type of pillow that may help also to improve your sleep. Take a siesta every day to help your back and rest. Sleep more than 8 hours a day for people that have back ache problems.

I purchased the Obus for lumbar support. I have used it for 4 years and it continues to provide the appropriate amount of lumbar support. There is no cervical / neck support whatsoever.

The collar is adjustable,the other question you need to ans. is the height correct?I am over 6ft tall with a 15.5 neck size but like a 2 inch high collar.

I'm 5'6" too. I originally got the medium, and a few months later I ended up ordering the large, probably because I have longer legs than some my height.

I am also 5'3 and bought the small one. I don't care for it. Frankly, I think it's still too big. I find it uncomfortable after about 20 minutes. Perhaps my legs are just too short, but I find when I lie for a while with my legs over the top, it pulls on my spine, rather than letting my spine relax. I can't recommend it.

I am about 5' 6" and I find the chair to be about perfect. However, I do prop my feet up under my desk, so that may help balance out any issues related to my lack of height :-)

It depends the neck size. I have 13inch (appox 33cm) and about 157cm in height and the neck support is not as snug as I hope. Hope this help.

I am also 5'1". I don't have your level of cervical issues but have some issues of my own. I tried the contour and anatomic and the anatomic was the way to go for me. If you have any doubt try one out at a local healthy back store or similar store. I was able to "rent" one of each type for a couple nights to try them out so I could decide. Kinda gross sounding I know. Just use lots of pillowcases lol

it might be a shade below that...I actually don't lean back far enough to notice where it hits my neck...I think this chair is a real bargain and seems to be superior in workmanship and material...I am 5'11" and shrinking

I am 5'3" and 130lbs. The chair was comfortable for me. I cannot speak to it being comfortable for anyone larger than me. Best bet is to contact the Seller and ask. Sorry I couldn't help.

For myself at 5'11" and @ 190 lbs with an approx 35" waist and a 17" neck it is a great fit. You might wish to try a bigger size.

Here are my thoughts. I'm a 32" waist and a 42" chest. I only weigh about 158-160 lbs. However, I'm 5'10". The legs definitely aren't an issue on the suit since it comes only below the knee (not a full leg suit). I think the medium is right for your waist and shoulders also. Are you (forgive me for putting it this way) "only 5'5" because of a shorter torso or shorter legs? If you simply have short legs, then the medium would probably still be perfect. However, if your legs are longer and your torso is shorter, it might be only a slight issue. All that said, given your chest and waist, the small would still probably be constricting. I'd say to contact the seller in advance and tell them your concerns. That's exactly what I did and they were tremendously helpful (and right) about the sizing.

I'm 5' 8" and no I have to use a small pillow to support my head and another one in the seat or the back hits me in an awkward position in my lower back. The difference in height may make a difference, I think the chair may be designed for a smaller person.

It might be just a bit small. I'm 5' 11'' 200lbs. Its just right for me, maybe a little tall, so like I say.. Maybe just a bit small for you.

I have a large neck, so it is too snug for me, but it is certainly adjustable for small necks. I used it as a pillow with my head in the indentation. It supported my neck and head that way. Very comfortable. It works best if you recline the seat a little, otherwise your head does fall forward.

I'm 5'11" and it falls above my knees but I keep the neck really loose. For me it's the perfect length.

Hi Laura, Not at all. I'm 5"10 and it only goes up to slightly below my shoulders.

I'm 6' and it fits me fine. Not a large seat though. If you are a big person it might feel to small.
