Very good support - my new review

I am 5'3 and 280lbs with a double chin so i didnt know how well this would fit. I got the special comfort xl version thats 2.75 inches tall and this seems to actually fit pretty well. It does feel like it chokes me a bit, and it keeps my jaw closed (for me thats a good thing) and squishes all my fat, but its not too bad. Mobility isnt so limited that i cant turn my head a little if i need to, but i cant turn it all the way. It keeps my head in a straight upright position and i can lean my head forward just a little to rest it if i need, but i cant lean my head back. The comfort one is a lot sturdier than i thought it would be. I can rest my head on it and it doesnt bend, but if i intentionally push harder itll give a little. It has a velcro strip on the back that you can use to adjust size, but support might dip a little if you have to make it bigger because thered be no foam at the back. Its not smelly or itchy or hot, its just right.I think this can work great depending on why you need it. While its fairly comfortable and supportive, the 15 minutes i wore it was actually more painful for me. I got it because i have pain in my neck and jaw and back of head for unknown reasons. Could be tmj, could be muscle spasms, could be swollen lymph nodes, idk. I find that the support actually puts pressure on my most painful spots (jaw by ear, back of neck) and causes more pain, and it leaves me feeling like i need to take it off to stretch often. So if this sounds similar to you then this might not be the best option. Otherwise this will probably work great if all you need is support and dont have pain in those specific areas. I plan on keeping this because i know itll come in handy in the future. 10/10 would buy again.

Pros
  • Made from high-quality foam materials that are both durable and comfortable to wear for extended periods
Cons
  • Can be difficult to use in conjunction with other medical devices
