Wonder Care Soft Neck Brace for Neck Pain and Neck Collar For Neck Support Cervical Collar Grey_Small

Comfortable but extremely supportive I have chronic fractures at C1 and T4 and after disastrous non treatment from NHS I needed support for my injury and this product has proven to be invaluable in providing this

I am 154cm tall. I bought two of these neck braces in the small size, in black. This item is well made from quality components. Unlike other reviewers, I did not notice a smell. There was a variation in size between the two, presumably due to different machinists. I do not understand why the 'soft' Velcro is attached to the skin side of the brace, whereas the 'hook' side of the Velcro is on the outer side. Ideally, the ends of the brace should butt up against each other, once all initial inflammatory swelling has gone down. With the current design, this is impossible. Furthermore, overlapping the brace at the back, as shown in the video, creates a lump which is uncomfortable for anyone sleeping on their back. As for lying on your side - with a fractured C1, that's the last thing I would feel comfortable doing right now. Is the man in the video a genuine patient, one wonders. I notice the models have elegantly long necks! Not everyone does, which explains the many negative comments about the brace being too deep! Anyone who has had a cervical spine fracture will appreciate how hard it is to find a neck brace that fits perfectly and is fully supportive, yet is still comfortable enough for use when sleeping. It is unlikely that even with several different sizes, that these braces will fit everyone. But you can, if you choose, do something to improve matters. I was able to modify the Velcro attachment by sewing it on the same side as the 'hook' Velcro. I also reduced the amount of foam stuffing, so that the brace now fits under my chin and earlobes - and also along the bottom, still therefore making contact with my collarbone. This modification still utilises the extra support that is provided by the internal stiff plastic reinforcement at the front (something that is omitted from the very cheap, foam-only collars). I was also able to shorten the length of the brace a little bit. Having modified the brace to suit my needs, I am very happy with it. Hoping the manufacturer will read this and take note. One star knocked off because of the Velcro attachment, and what in my opinion could be an even better design.

Very firm , good product for the price . Could use a teeny bit more cushion but it does the job .

Uncomfortable becareful when ordering size

Excellent quality and a great buy.

The collar is far too narrow (especially at the back) to offer any real support and the material is really very hard and stiff, which means you can't wear it snug or fitted without it crushing your larynx. Perhaps worn loosely it gives some warmth but, believe me, any scarf would be FAR better.

Good support, comfortable to wear for long periods ( or as comfortable as something like this can be). Still working well for me after over a year of use.

Yes a lot better now thanks
