I have had neck surgery and lower back surgery, so I have lots of pain after 12 hours on the floor at the hospital. I sleep most nights on a heat pad to get some relief. I purchased the Gideon Shiatsu Deep Kneading Massage Pillow with Eight Rollers and Heat / Massage to see if it would give me some relief.

I am giving this product four stars because the roller balls are very hard, and the heat just doesn't get very warm. I probably should give it 3 stars. The massage does feel good, once you find the right spot to put it in. I have to put a pillow behind my back, and then the massager. Otherwise, it just doesn't seem to massage where I want it to. The unit is big, and kind of bulky, but I knew that before ordering it. I wish that the heat could be adjusted and maybe the depth of the massage, also.

As for massaging my neck, I snuggle the massager into my pillow, then lay a towel across it, so that it is not as hard on my neck. I do get a good massage this way. Maybe if the front had more cushioning to it, it would be better.

I do like the way that the massager changes directions every few minutes. I feel like I get a better massage this way. It will turn itself off after 15 minutes, so if I go to sleep on it, I don't have to worry about it.
