Poor non-refundable product

I should have read the one star reviews before purchasing this product. I tried it for one night and the pain in my neck got so bad that I got very dizzy the next day. I can also say that the foam is unlikely to retain its firmness with prolonged use. I tried to return an item and the seller won't accept returns. This policy was also not clearly stated on the seller's side. The company must stand by its products, particularly those designed to treat chronic pain.

Pros
  • Sturdy workmanship
Cons
  • Approximately

Great start but loses firmness quickly

I read reviews carefully before buying any products or services. This pillow got good reviews. I should have paid more attention to the negative reviews about the "get flat quickly" pillow. Everything started great and gave me the support I needed for my neck. Surprisingly, it lost its solid quality in a matter of weeks. Now when I lie down the pillow is almost completely flat. I am so disappointed. My search for a longer lasting neck pillow begins again. I would not recommend this particularโ€ฆ

Too soft to offer support.

Very disappointed in its softness. I've seen other reviewers mention it was solid which is what I need. I was using a rolled up towel that was quite firm and wanted to replace it with an actual real pillow and looked everywhere for one that was firm. I thought I found it but I was wrong. It also has an unpleasant odor that may disappear or air out after a few days. The picture shows the foam inside which I can squeeze even with arthritic hands. The nice thing about it is the pillowcase thatโ€ฆ

Too hard and can't come back

I've slept without a pillow all my life but now I'm suffering from neck pain and headaches. My physical therapist recommended a cervical roll and got me to try the Mackenzie roll at the hospital. I really liked it, so I bought this one (despite the higher price). I was hoping it would be soft since it was called 'Original' and there was a photo of a person holding it, but it wasn't. He's still very firm. I estimate it shrinks to about 2.5 inches thick, which is far from tight to me. The bottomโ€ฆ

Pros

Cons
  • Null

My neck used to hurt the most when I woke up in the morning. Problem solved! I LOVE this pillow! I put this pillow roll under the pillowcase. On top of the pillowcase I have a very minimally filled pillow. I made this easily using an inexpensive Walmart zippered pillowcase and $2 pillow insert. Since then I wake up pain free. When I'm in pain during the day, this pillow helps me heal even if I rest on it for a few minutes. on a sun lounger or in the car. Bought two so I always have one on hand.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

The McKenzie Roll is a classic orthopedic neck pillow that is universally recommended by many physiotherapists. I'm a doctor who specializes in pain and non-invasive spinal conditions, so here are my two cents: For some people, this can be too difficult and expensive. This can lead to more lordosis than is necessary for you. This is not a universal option. If your neck flexors aren't strong enough, your head can stretch excessively while lying down. It's supportive, though, and certainly a lotโ€ฆ
