Product review: Aukee Memory Foam Car Neck Pillow


We purchased several neck pillows because our new Tesla Model 3 has non-adjustable head supports that are not well suited for short passengers (or drivers).  The fixed-position headrest pushes my head forward because my height puts my head at the bottom of the support.  I need to put something under the Tesla support, so my head is not bent forward. This neck support was working pretty well.

The pillow itself is made well and has no odor. One side of it is made from leather, the core is made out of memory foam, and the side that goes towards the seat is made out of the fabric. The back has an elastic belt that goes over the back of the seat.

So annoying to have a new beautiful car that does not feel comfortable. This pillow provided some relief to a poorly designed seat.

Product review: Gum toothbrush with super tip



I have been using Gum toothbrushes for years because my dentist was giving them to his patients during cleaning.  But recently my dentist switched to another brand and did not like it as much.  For the first time in many years, I bought a toothbrush because Gum toothbrush is that good!  I take freebies home and use them for cleaning small places around the kitchen and bathroom, but I buy Gum toothbrushes for my teeth!  The latest package I bought included a super tip, and I like it to in addition to flossing.  Great toothbrush!

Product review: Memory Foam Seat Cushion. Orthopedic Car Seat Cushions to Raise Height - not a good car seat booster



This is a 2-star car cushion and 5-star chair cushion  This pillow is NOT designed for a car seat, it is much shorter then a car seat and if when I put on the car seat, its edge cuts into my thighs very uncomfortably and cannot be used. I tried positioning the seat with the signage forward and backward, both orientations are equally uncomfortable.

It is, however, an excellent cushion for a chair or theater/concert seats because it has a good fit for that size seat. 

It is 3" hight and compresses slightly when you sit on it. It has no straps, no anti-skid markings on the bottom. I bought it for a car, so I was disappointed but was able to re-purpose it as a chair cushion for concert halls.  It ads comfort and lift, which is helpful for a short person like me.

Product review: Dreamer Car Balanced Softness Memory Foam Driver Seat Cushion Seat Pad with Adjustable Strap for short people



This is a 1-star car cushion and 3-star chair cushion  This pillow is NOT designed for a car seat, it is much shorter then a car seat and if when I put on the car seat, its edge cuts into my thighs very uncomfortably and cannot be used.  It is an ok cushion for a chair or theater/concert seats because it has the size of that seat, not a car seat.  The reason why it is not a great cushion that it compresses so much that it gives me almost no lift at all.

Its loft is about 3" hight but it compresses significantly when you sit on it. It provides very little lift. It has a strap, which works well if you are putting it on an office chair. It has a textured bottom which makes it somewhat non-slip.  I bought it for a car, so I was disappointed but was able to re-purpose it as a cushion for concert halls for my husband who is okay with not getting any lift.

Product review: Body Benefits Bristle Bath Brush



I got this Body Benefits bath brush at a local T.J. Maxx for $4.69.  This brush has very soft bristles. It is suitable for gentle cleaning, not exfoliating. It is 14" end to end with the handle that is 10".  It has a keyhole opening on the handle, so it is easy to hang to dry between uses.  I have been using it for several weeks every day, and all the bristles are still intact. I like the textured handle, even when my hands are soapy it stays in my hand. Pretty good brush, especially at a price I got at T.J. Maxx.

You can also find it on Amazon at a slightly higher price.

Product review: Feagar Car Seat Neck Pillow, Headrest Cushion for short people

 

My husband purchased several neck pillows for me because his new Tesla Model 3 has non-adjustable head supports that are not well suited for short passengers (or drivers).  The fixed-position headrest pushes my head forward because my height puts my head at the bottom of the support.  I need to put something under the Tesla support so my head is not bent forward. This neck support was the best of several we have tried.

The pillow itself is made well and feels pleasant to touch. Most of the problems come from the design of the car seat rather than the neck pillow.


Tesla headrest and seat are one piece, they do not have adjustable headrests with metal stocks. To place the neck pillow where I need it (below the built-in fixed-position of the headrest), I had to make the straps longer so the neck pillow can hang at the lower height.

To make a Feager neck fit the seat, I had to make both the top and the bottom straps longer (so it was lower on the seat) and I needed to remove about 1/2" of the loft, so it does not push my neck forward.  The pillow's design allowed me to make all the adjustments, and its quality is very nice.  So annoying to have a new beautiful car that does not feel comfortable. This pillow provided some relief to a poorly designed seat.

Product review: LANGRIA Infinity-Shape Car Neck Pillow Memory Foam Headrest for short people






My husband purchased several neck pillows for me because his new Tesla Model 3 has unadjustable head supports that are not well suited for short passengers (or drivers).  The fixed-position headrest pushes my head forward because my height puts my head at the bottom of the support.  I need to put something under the Tesla support so my head is not bent forward. LANGRIA neck pillow was slightly helpful but not ideal because it really designed to work with the metal adjustable stocks of the headrest.

Tesla seats do not have adjustable metal stocks, so to place the pillow where I need it (below the built-in fixed-position headrest) I had to make the strap longer so it can hang at the lower height. Because of how the pillow is attached, I have to hold it with my neck by pushing it into the seat which is tiresome.

The pillow itself is made well and feels pleasant to touch. Most of the problems come from the design of the Tesla car seat rather than the neck pillow.
