Hi Pauline I bought one of those and found it to be a waste of money I only used it once and it was very hard and uncomfortable I went back to ordinary pillows and was a lot more comfy.I tried to give it to the red cross but they didn't want it so I,m afraid I wasted £29.95

Hi Pauline. Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried an ordinary pillow but didn't really work.  I found a memory foam travel pillow for head and neck in Dunelm the other day and that seems to work really well (for me anyway). It is just a case of trying lots of things to find out what works, without having to spend too much money in the process.  Wish it could be noted as a side effect about sleeping etc. 😌

Hi Pauline - Thank you for sending this information .. I will see if they sell this in Holland - I am using a regular pillow but misses something to hug - I am used to sleeping with a body pillow - didn;t bring it with me :-(    the velcro waist strap is intriguing ... big hug

Hi Pauline thanks for that, I sleep on 4 pillows all round me, I am quite comfortable and now sleeping for at least 5 hours a night and 1 - 1.5 in the afternoon. Feel I'm doing great. xx

hi   definately not a huggable thing!!!   its a funny shape and you lie almost in recovery onto it     I have a beany pillow in tube shape thats great for here and there 

no they dont take 2nd hand things at all do they   its such a shame,  but a bit condractictory as dont they recycle some hospital things that can be borrowed?  the nhs is still worth its weight  whatever is said!
