Product Description
Most bed pillows don't support the head and the neck. The Original McKenzie® Cervical Roll provides necessary support to the cervical structures and maintains a natural curve of the cervical spine while one sleeps on the side or back. If you suffer from frequent episodes of neck pain; referred pain in the shoulders; nighttime neck problems; or morning pain or stiffness in the neck, your sleeping position may be at fault. Placed between a pillow and the pillowcase, the cervical roll is designed to work with most conventional pillows. It is affordable and portable, and it is not hot and uncomfortable or snug around the neck like a cervical night collar. Made of low density foam with a removable and washable cotton/polyester cover. Size is 3 1/2" in diameter x 20" long. The roll must be used with a very soft pillow (ie; feathers. According to Dr. McKenzie molded rubber or foam pillows should never be used if you have neck problems.This item cannot be returned if the plastic seal is broken.

Does Not Work Well October 11, 2009
C. Richardville (Huntersville, NC United States)
I purchased the item due to the comments, yet when using while traveling it was too stiff and I ended up using a towel rolled up instead. The free towel was much more effective. When returning the item, it would cost me $6 for a $12 item, yet I believe that it was not effective as advertised. Use a towel, you will be much happier than dealing with the vendor !

Can't sleep without it September 30, 2009

This is a must-have for me, so I am ordering my second one. This cervical roll supports the neck and helps prevent the headaches I awake with otherwise. It is very well made, the entire thing stands up well to washing (air dry), and an added plus - it slips into any suitcase when traveling, so you're never without neck support! It is just the right size - other neck pillows are too large in diameter and push the cervical spine in the opposite direction, therefore accomplishing little. This pillow is much more practical and portable than a cervical roll pillow, which I had used for 25 years, and much less expensive. Eventually (after a year of steady use) the center of the pillow does compress - that's why I am ordering a new one. An excellent product for the purpose.

5 stars for support, 1 star for odor August 1, 2009
Tom Jefferson (Redondo Beach, CA)
This roll rates 5 stars for support and one star for odor. It has helped my neck, sleep and snoring. However, the odor was untolarable. I am guessing that the odor is an antibacterial chemical because it sort of smells like the antibacterials that are on sponges, only much stronger. Since it was right against my head while sleeping this was untolerable. After about an hour of ringing it out in hot soapy water it is fine. Since this item is suppose to help a person's health, manufacturers should consider that chemicals harm human tissues.

Instant tension relief June 11, 2009

This neck roll is AMAZING. It is suggested to put it inside your pillowcase at the bottom edge of your pillow. But actually I find it's MUCH more effective to simply put it under my neck and lay on my back. It quickly relieves the muscle tension and restores the proper curvature. Be sure to follow up with the McKenzie Neck Exercises. Don't do one without the other. You need both.
For all-night sleeping, I prefer the Arc4Life Traction Neck Pillow. It gives me better support when sleeping on my side, than using the neck roll inside the pillowcase. But when I travel, it's much easier to pack the neck roll than the Arc4Life pillow.

Rock and roll May 2, 2009

I really wanted to like this neck roll. I've had a painful neck for way too long now. The idea of supporting my neck while sleeping makes a lot of sense. It seemed like a relatively low price, however it's just a piece of foam. It's pretty expensive for foam.

After trying it for many weeks, I have come to the conclusion that it's causing more problems than it's worth. This roll is much, much harder than I was expecting. It seems okay, just really firm for the first few hours, then later in the night it feels worse and worse. I often wake up at 2 or 3 am because my neck is so incredibly sore. I can't lay back down on it because it feels like a rock and hurts bad. I pull out the roll, and try going back to sleep on the regular pillow. Sometimes I can't go back to sleep at all, which throws off my whole day.

If you already know that your neck is sensitive to extra firm rolls, I would say to stay away from this one and to look for a softer version of the same thing. This one might be good if you're using it for just a few hours I suppose. Overall I cannot recommend as I think I was better off without it.
