I have very bad posture while sleeping. Will this item prevent my chin from going into my neck while I sleep? I can only sleep on my side. TY!

This item can help your posture while sleeping. It helps conform the neck for proper cervical alignment when worn.

Yes it will. I was very active when younger and from surfing and skiing suffered several neck injuries that I am paying the price for today at 60 (wouldn't change a thing). I am still very active and have had trouble in the past sleeping with poor posture and waking up with my neck screaming at me. I decided to try this collar and have been very pleased with the result. A secondary benefit is that because it keeps your chin from dropping it will stop snoring. The collar is a good value and if it doesn't work for you Amazon will let you return it so you have nothing to lose. Good luck, give it try, and happy sleeping. Yes it will.

Yes, it will somewhat be uncomfortable. It's not hard material but niether is it soft, I for one normally sleep on my sides or facing down but I gave up sleeping face down after purchasing this product. I am not saying you "can't", surely you can but while you move around in your sleep it will move a little around your face. I should have included this on my review..

Due to a medical condition, I can only sleep slightly elevated on my back, which insures that I snore. I had already used this product on a trans-Atlantic flight, where it kept my mouth firmly shut, and I slept comfortably in an upright position, with no neck wobble. I tried this in my own bed, and if on firmly enough (leave enough room to insert one finger), there is no way the jaw can drop. In addition, it has helped eliminate neck pain.

No, I am a side sleeper and had to cut some of the foam from the pillow because it started to hurt my neck. You might want to look into a more flatter pillow.

I do sleep on my side but do not use an extra pillow. In my opinion you probably can.

Hi Sarah. What you see in the picture is the side that you're supposed to sleep on; it's the only option. The other side has a hard plastic spout, which, I suspect, wouldn't be very comfortable to rest one's ear on. Again, that's really the only drawback of the pillow; the inability to flip it over in the middle of the night.

I think so. It helps me in general. my problem is more my lower back. But from time to time I wake up with my arms "asleep" and hanging the next morning usually takes care of it. ( not a strict neck problem)

Yes, I sleep exclusively on my side. Initially there was some shoulder pain on one side where I had a previous injury. That situation has resolved. I recommend this product.

I sleep on my side as well. I have had my pillow now for several months. It works wonderfullly. I use any type of pillow case. Cotton breathes the best and is soft on your skin however you can use any pillowcase you like. I got the standard /queen size. It is more standard than queen. if you like a larger pillow you can use the king but i have found this size to be perfectly sized for side sleeping. hope this helps

I sleep on my side, and I have no problem. I have been sleeping with these every night for years and they are the greatest! Sometimes when i wake up it's off but they are perfect for helping you fall asleep. I recommend this product.

It doesn't really work well if you're on your side. It's kind of heavy and it would need to be very tight to keep it in place. I always try propping it up against my face with a pillow but I end up on my back eventually.

Hi Adriana. No, this is definitely not made for sleeping. It is more of a tool to prevent or lessen the headaches. It should only be used for a short time each day. It is really very solid. It can be almost painful to use in the beginning, but as your neck muscles relax and form into the curve of the hammock the discomfort lessens. It really is meant to be used to relax and stretch the muscles in your neck. Now, with all that being said. it really does help. Even if the headache has already started it still seems to help. The trick is to relax and stretch those muscles that are attached to the skull. Hope this info helps. Hi Adriana. No, this is definitely not made for sleeping.

I use it for sleeping on my side. I guess you need to decide how high you are comfortable having your head when you lie on your back.

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.

You use the "sides" for sleeping on your side. I can only do this sparingly given prior neck surgery, but it seems to work for my short times

I actually find it a bit uncomfortable for my neck with a normal pillow; I need a much softer pillow with the wedge I use (which is 7 inches not 12). The pillow is really designed more to alleviate reflux, which it does for me, and maybe reduce snoring if you have sleep apnea.

I use this item for this very purpose...to hold my neck immobile and upright. The only thing I would change would be to make it about an inch shorter so it would fit under my chin better. You can get a lot of support by pumping up the pressure.
