RE: cervical collar really effective?
I use the plain black 3" Soft Cervical Collar by Core Products from the same seller. I have a big neck, ~20" and these work for me. I use for the light pressure under my jaw/chin to keep my mouth shut so I don't mouth breath/leak.
This adds ~1/2"-1" behind the neck so acts somewhat like a cervical pillow. I tend to use a little thinner pillow with it. I have multiple of them to swap out when washing weekly. They say to hand-wash only, but I usually machine-wash on delicate and air dry and mine have held up well.
The price has gone up though, then were only $10 at fisrt and now they are up there with some of these other options. I would try them, but they don't look like they will fit my neck size.
I find them comfortable, not as much when brand new as they are stiffer, but after the first wash, they soften up.
Only issues are they can get a little warm if your room warms up and the velcro is a little noisy if your spouse is sleeping when you need to open the velcro.
