OPTP The Original McKenzie Cervical Roll, 20" Neck Support Pillow to Relieve Neck and Back Pain - Round Pillow for Improved Sleeping Support and Cervical Pain Relief - Made in The USA

I’ve been using the McKenzie Cervical Roll for several weeks, and it has made a noticeable difference in my sleep comfort and neck pain. I simply slide it into my pillowcase along the bottom edge, and it provides gentle yet firm support that keeps my neck aligned throughout the night.The foam has just the right amount of give. It is not too soft and not too firm. The removable cover is also easy to clean. I appreciate that it works well whether I’m sleeping on my back or side. Since I started using it, I’ve had fewer headaches and less stiffness in the morning.This is a simple and effective solution for anyone dealing with neck discomfort or looking to improve their sleep posture. Highly recommend.

Provides good comfort for my neck pain on a daily basis. Usually have great discomfort while trying to sleep at night. Highly recommend using this pillow to sleep at night.

I have neck issues and this pillow helps me a lot. I highly recommend it!

09/17/24. I use this McKenzie 3.5” neck roll as suggested by manufacturer for relief of my neck pain and headaches associated with cervical spinal stenosis and the misalignment of my cervical vertebral bones . I have tried several popular 4” diameter neck rolls, but have not found any that work and it may have as much to do with their being more firm than the McKenzie as it has to do with their larger diameter. I’ve not found a 4” diameter neck pillow constructed of the lower density, softer foam like that used by the “Original McKenzie.” This McKenzie has a removable blue fabric cover that can be easily laundered. I assigned only 4 of 5 stars for this review because the density of the foam in this, my newest McKenzie neck pillow, feels like it is not as soft, as my older one. [I like microbead pillows because the microbeads in a stretchy case conform to the person’s body providing support where needed, but have only had microbead horseshoe shaped travel pillows that aren’t as comfortable wrapped around the neck when lying in bed all night.]

I've had this for some time now, and it has maintained its shape and does the job perfectly. I definitely notice when I sleep without it. Highly recommend.

This company claimed a high quality, expertly crafted and designed cervical pillow. I was happy to pay and looking forward to relief for the curve and arthritis in my neck. Instead of receiving quality, I found that this was made of cheap, low density, coarse foam. I didn't even bother to use it. I fail to see how this was expertly designed and exceeds the standard over other cervical pillows. I will try my luck with a less expensive memory foam cervical pillow.

These pillows used to be great but this one came with a cheap scratchy cover that's not comfortable. I wouldn't buy it again.

A miracle has happened today because I actually love this thing!MY STORY:I have always been a back sleeper using NO PILLOW. Then 2 or 3 years ago I started needing more neck support. Now, I find it's substantially more comfortable for me with some kind of a pillow so I tried lots of different feather, feather and down, and 100% down pillows. I tried Tempur, My P\\\ow (H A T E D it even after I sliced it open and removed some of the filling so that it wasn't so puffy but that still didn't help and I still hated it), down alternative (horrible), and on and on. I just have not been able to find a pillow that I love or even like that:A. Doesn't go flat within an hour;B. Doesn't curl up around my head like earmuffs; andC. Supports my neck.Anyhow, I tried creating my own neck support gizmo by cutting a 3" x 6"-ish piece of memory foam from a mattress topper. It was better than nothing but every morning I'd wake up with huge knots in my hair from the stupid piece of foam. I knew there had to be a better solution. Frustrated, I finally started doing some research online to see what's available now since my memory foam/foam rubber idea was just not working any more. I read hundreds of reviews for all kinds of cervical pillows/rolls and decided to try this one. Even though I did my homework, I wasn't holding out hope that this would be my salvation.First of all, when the box arrived, I thought it was empty. It was so light, I didn't think there was anything inside at all, surely not a pillow-type thing, but I opened the box and sure enough - there it was. Hmmm... no weight whatsoever to this thing so how good could it be? Well, ha ha on me because it is great!THE PROS:Nice presentation in the plastic bag and the blue zipper cover.Didn't have any odor or chemical smell that I was expecting, like so many of the other pillows I've bought or read reviews about.The zipper cover or case is not hard or crispy or plastic-like, and it's quite handy and possibly sweat-proof. I'll find out in a month when it gets to be 100° here in L.A.I removed it from the plastic out bag, simply stuck the whole thing inside a pillow case and positioned it comfortably under my neck. It keeps my head at the correct and most ideal height.THE CONS:I have only one: I do have to position it either all the way to the left toward the other side of the bed or all the way to the right (hanging off the bed) because it is too long for me and I don't want it encasing my ears. My solution is that I am going to cut it into either 3 equal pieces (that way I'll end up with 2 replacements for when this one gets flat or old or whatever) or I'll cut it just in half so I'll have one extra for when the first half gets old and flat. Remember, it just has to fit under the neck - it's not like it's a sandbag keeping water from seeping into the house and it is not one of those door jamb sealers. It's for cradling the neck which this does perfectly - it's just too long for me.All in all, I am so happy that I bought this OPTP Original McKenzie Cervical Roll. My neck feels better and better every morning. Can't wait to cut it into 2 or 3 equal pieces so it fits perfectly under my head.Totally happy with this purchase.
