Vive Neck Brace - Foam Cervical Collar Adjustable Soft Support Can Be Used During Sleep - Wraps Aligns and Stabilizes Vertebrae - Relieves Pain and Pressure in Spine (Black, 3" Width)

This neck collare is perfect in every way. Although initially it felt a little tall and was rather hard and uncomfortable after wearing it on and off over a period of a month, it moulded and softened a little and is now very comfortable to wear when I need it. I have spondylosis in my spine and get flare ups from time to time. I used to have an NHS collar which I threw away about ten years ago as I hadn't had a flare up in the time. A bit silly really because I bought several collars recently from diferent sellar costing a lot more than this collar, which were a disaster. They were soft and spomgy giving no support at all. This one is more like the one I had from the NHS which was also uncomfortable to start with. I have had this collar and have worn it on and off for about two months now and can say I an blisfully happy with the way it feels when I werar it and it gives me the support I need. This is a brilliant product at a sensible price. I am thinking of buying another one as a back up. If you try this collare and give it time, I'm sure you will find it will soften slightly to give a more comfortable fit.

Helps with the pain relief like it to be a little bit more softer.

I suffer from joint pain in various parts my body. I have always felt uncomfortable with having or needing support. However when I been waking up recently my neck has been real painful and causing headaches and blurred vision. I decided to go for a neck support that I could still keep it in during sleep. I suffer from PTSD and insomnia so sleep is always a problem. When sleeping after I put on the neck support it was first time in months I slept for a few hours with no pain. I was amazed I managed to sleep. The design is comfortable. The size is alright if I did not have joint pain in my hands it be easy.to put together but for me it was difficult but I managed it. It great and comfy and I can do things whilst I am wearing it. So it enables you to function without the need to take it off to breath. It was affordable and good value for money. Great little find on Amazon. Thank you for making possible for me to sleep. Great we'll back to sleep I go. If you buy enjoy the break from pain.

Had to return item, as when removed from box it was miles too big for my wife . Checking sizes, even if I had opted for the smaller size I reckon it would have been far too big. Pitty as it looked a well made neck brace. I think these braces are more suitable for long thin necks, as I said looks a well made item, just not suitable for my wife's short neck.

Very comfy and vital to keep neck in correct position

Quite liked this although having a problem with neck pain it was quite difficult to bend to fit. I think perhaps the foam is a little too thick making it inflexible. Will continue to try and tolerate but would be better being a couple of inches longer making it easier to reach round back of neck. Once on it gives very firm support, certainly could not tolerate sleeping in it.

Terrible, sent back. Too hard and high.

Very stiff and uncomfortable compared with the one the hospital gave me. It managed to hurt my throat while I was wearing it without providing any real support. I am returning it.

The collar is very stiff and uncomfortable. It’s almost like wearing a plastic immobilizer. Though its width is of the correct size, the sponge is so hard. You get a pain in the neck if you wear this for some time. The width was the only reason I went in for this, the others being much wider, but the pain you endure by wearing this is just not worth the buy. Would have returned it if it was returnable.

I purchased this brace over others because of the added height option available. I have a long neck, and anything shorter would have been a waste of money. It took a couple of wears before it broke in, but it is quite comfortable and very supportive. Today is the longest amount of time I have worn it at about 6 hours straight now, and it is still comfortable after doing all of the Christmas decoration take-down I've been busy with. Great value, quality and fit!

Great item but be sure that it fits because the customer service is extremely poor quality :(

I can't really give a good review for this neck brace because I think the problems I have with it are because I bought it too big?! Plus it is too high and keeps my neck at a painful angle. I have arthritis in my neck, and scoliosis and it was just too painful for those ailments. But, I do believe that may be because I bought the wrong size and the wrong type. Sorry I can't be more helpful!! :o(

It's a neck brace. The thing is, if you need this, you're likely in a lot of pain and there's no real way to make you comfortable. So, taking into account the reality of this situation, I've had this brace for a while now. It is of very good quality. It is stiff, which is both uncomfortable, but necessarily uncomfortable. It needs to be stiff to stop my head from irritating my neck. So, It has helped to reduce the pain in my neck. So, due to the inherent discomfort of having to use this product gives it four stars I believe. If you have significant chronic neck pain, you're likely a little unhappy all the time. It's tough to deal with. The product itself is 5 stars. 1. Durable. I've now had it for years. 2. Stiff. Holds the head up effectively to reduce pressure on the neck. So, it's effective at reducing pain as well. It doesn't make the pain disappear. it helps significantly. 3. Shaped about as well as it could be considering it has to work for a wide range of people.
