Customer Reviews
I am a Chiropractor and I recommend to every patient. 
2008-03-27
I have practiced chiropractic for 28 years and truly wished I had invented the Real Ease. I personally use the device and I have recommended it for practically all of my patients for the last 5 years. At first it may not feel "good" for the first few sessions, but that doesn't concern me. There are times that braces on teeth don't feel "good" either. The device is designed to help properly restore the normal curve in the neck. I wouldn't recommend using it for anymore than 10 -15 minutes a day. Even though illustrations on the box show it being used while sitting upright, like in an airline seat, as well as while reclining in bed, I feel the device is useful only while reclining on a firm surface (like the floor). I tell my patients to lay on the floor with their calves up in a chair and relax. It is a great way to spend time in prayer, or meditation or to just catch up on some sleep. But, be sure to set a timer for 10 to 15 minutes.
It's descent

I really need a good way of stretching out and relaxing my neck, and unfortunately, this is not it. It is nice to keep your neck in place, but it really does not stretch it that well.
The box looked like it had been in a hurricane. I would have sent it back, but the product itself was not damaged. Terrible shipping though.
Good product

I like this when I am listening to music through headphones, on my back, with nice support under my head and neck. Not a miracle product, but my neck pain was never chronic, just annoying.
It's okay 2008-01-13
I was hoping for more "relaxing" effects as promised in it's name. I bought it specifically for the words "shoulder relaxer". It helps, but not greatly. Perhaps I should use it more. It's just the times I have used it for shoulder pain and tightness, it didn't seem to do all that much, so I didn't feel like getting it out. It did though help my husband with a headache recently. I too have used it for base of the neck headaches. It does seem to aid in that to some degree, hence the 3 stars instead of 2.
i think it hurt my neck 
2007-12-27
Not long after i started using it my neck got sore. I'm not sure of the cause and while I don't want to blame the neck ease thing I stopped using it. My sister loves it though, and maybe I should give it another try. I've read the complaints about the workmanship, I don't have an issue with that, it's good quality. I'm just not sure it's for me. The lumbar extender is, though, and I use it every day. My posture is way better and my back doesn't ever get sore now.
Good for relaxing 2008-06-19
I bought this hoping to reduce the number of chiropractor visits I make. Sadly, this did not help much. It does help relax the head & neck & shoulder muscles. Which after along day typing at a computer - can be a welcome relief.
I wouldn't say this product does anything beyond aiding in muscle relaxation. It didn't do anything to help when I need a real adjustment from the chiropractor.
So if you want something to help those tight shoulder & neck muscles at the end of a long day, this will help. I wouldn't use it for any other purpose.
Relaxing 2008-06-06
I found this product to be relaxing, but not a cure from back or neck pain. It might be more beneficial if made from more heavy duty products and redesigned slightly. Despite, these shortcomings, I will use the product at times for its limited benefits.
Not as good as I'd hoped 2008-05-10
This is comfortable, but it doesn't seem to reduce stress/tension as advertised. Still, a cheap alternative to the chiropractor.
TAKE IT WITH YOU.... 2008-05-01
I got one of these for my wife when took a hard dive onto the living room floor while cleaning some curtains.... She was in much pain and this little device was the best thing we found for alleviating it.
Over the years we BOTH have come to depend on it and it always faithfully gets rid of pent-up stress, especially in the neck, jaw, and back. Indeed, we don't travel without it now.
One word of advice; be sure to be patient with this device; it needs time to work - 10 minutes at a minimum IMO. And if you are wondering about quality consider this - yes, the materials are worth a LOT less than the finished product but balancing that is the fact that there is definitely enough quality there to get the job done. If the manufacturer would tweak it by making the base a little wider - say by 1 to 1.5 inches - and providing a pair of washable covers - this product would be a grand slam!

Probably pretty nice for some people, but too pricey to buy for hoping it works.
Also rubs on your vertebrae and didn't do anything for my neck after use.
