Velpeau Neck Brace for Neck Pain and Support -Soft Cervical Collar for Sleeping in Bed, Snoozing, Sleeping Upright, Anti-Snoring, Sleep Apnea for Women & Men(Blue, Comfort Version, XL: 16.5-18.7"/4")

I got this for my partner, who often drops off to sleep much faster than I and *sometimes* ends up snoring. We've tried side sleeping and mouth tape. The side sleeping helps a bit, but the mouth tape was a real fiasco - especially when we both got an awful cold. Best case: he ended up with the mouth tape somewhere else (his cheek, the headboard, etc.). Worst case: he would have to rip it off his face because he couldn't breathe!We don't think he has sleep apnea, so we kept exploring other options to mitigate the occasional snoring.This neck brace has worked the best for us for managing the snoring. It's not 100%, but it works most of the time. The material is soft and has been comfortable for my partner (who tends to run hot). We did measure his neck very carefully to order the correct size. The brace is snug without being restrictive. He has been able to sleep through the night without consciously or subconsciously removing it.Before we starting going down the path of sleep studies and C-PAPs, we thought we'd give this a try. I'm so glad we did!

I have a cervical (neck) disc bulge that causes lots of pain from nerve and muscle spasms. This neck brace offers instant traction relief. I bought several different neck braces, tried them all, and kept this one. It's soft to the touch, comfortable, and I like that it's washable. I'm actually buying a second one to use so I can always have one to wear while the other one is drying after I wash it. The only negative is that it can be hot to wear in warm weather, but I put some crushed ice in a plastic zip bag and strap the neck brace around it, so I keep cool. I don't know why this item is returned by other customers. I really like it and recommend it.

I’m satified but wish I bought a bigger one. I’m wearing it backward because my pain is in the back of my head.

It would be really good but it's too high for me, which makes it uncomfortable. I don't have a short neck, either. I'd say my neck is normal length and it hits my jawbone. It comes with a matching sleeve (cover) which I needed because it rubbed in one spot. So I was glad it had that.

I had a serious neck surgery that did not turn out to well. This was an excellent product to use when the heavy neck brace came off. Very comfortable.

Definitely helps my dislocated neck with pinched nerve -- needed it badlyworking at a desk all day it is extremely important to sit properly--I think I may get a back posture support as well to prevent those slow injuries that happen with repetitive motions

I thought I was being so smart by using this brace on an overnight flight to Europe to get better support than a neck pillow. Specifically I was interested because my head 'bobs' forward when I sleep and the coverage in the front for the brace is much better than a neck pillow.SO WHAT HAPPENED? It worked fine for the first 3 hours but at some point I slept in a position that put pressure on my carotid artery causing lack of blood flow to my brain. I got nauseous instantly upon waking up. I stood to race to the bathroom and passed out in the aisle of the plane. Fast forward, and they make the dreaded 'is there a doctor on the plane' announcement. After many tests to make sure it wasn't a stroke, heart attack, dehydration, or prescription drug interaction, we did a differential analysis to discover the only thing that changed was the use of the neck brace.I eventually recovered after 30 minutes and had no recurrence of any issues for the rest of the trip.I'm lucky that the lack of blood flow woke me up enough to pass out in the aisle where I was noticed, rather than in my seat with the neck brace still attached.There should be a WARNING on the pillow that the brace should not be used to sleep upright. (or at least a study to confirm if my experience is possible to happen to others.)BTW: never had this issue when sleeping in bed. (this pillow was purchased in 2021 and used for years without issue when sleeping horizontally).

Exactly as advertised - seems to have stopped snoring by 90% (no more complaints or elbow jabs anyway).Very comfortable (using the included super-smooth sleeve) and easy to put on.
