Neck Roll Pillows, Cervical Rolls, Traction Cushions & Bolsters

Roll supports are a way to support your cervical spine or neck. This region of your body can develop painful conditions, such as pinched nerves, muscle strains, and tense ligaments. If you have poor posture, the neck roll offers pain relief. Your physical therapist may also recommend these cervical neck roll pillows because they support your neck, knees, or hips after an injury.

What Cervical Neck Roll Pillows Are

How Cervical Pillows Help With Neck Pain

They relieve the pressure from the sore soft tissues and directly support the vertebrae while restoring the normal curvature of the cervical spine.

The pillows in our catalog come in a range of support levels so that you can get exactly what you need for pain relief and recovery from a spine or upper-body injury.

• Memory Foam: Consisting mainly of low-resistance polyurethane foam (LRPu), this material forms to your unique skeletal structure and gives you customized support without having to add or remove filling.

• Inflatable: These pillows are similar to an inflatable armband for swimming. You pump in as much air as you prefer, and you can add or let out air at any time. This is a good option if you're traveling. You can deflate the pillow while in transit and refill it when you're at your destination.
