JP neckpillows..........
So a friend of mine suprised me with some JP neck pillows for my birthday on saturday. And I was really excited to put in my first VIP interior excessory until i sat in the seat and realized if your not the right hieght that they are completely useless. I'm 5'9" and they kinda just work for me but my girl who is around 5'0" they don't work so well. And don't even try sitting in the the back seat with them unless your like 4'11" they hit me under my shoulder blades. These things are bricks too. I just expected a little more comfort from a well known vip company.

yeah i think its definitely just more for a cosmetic effect, I think I would feel trapped if that thing was around my neck. atleast it looks kinda cool, other than that they are x=

I got one for a Flight to Bangkok,, they are great,,, but look stupid when you see someone walking with it on their neck. Mine gets pretty hot at times. But works well,, Not in my Lexus.. as the Head rest works fine.

I think they're more for looks than for comfort. I've never been comfortable adding them to any of my cars because I think they'd be extremely hazardous in a rear-end crash. For certain none of the manufacturer / government crash test don't expect them to be there - seems like a good way to break your neck.

they work great for me....as far as them feeling like a brick...you gotta break them in! But books on them for a couple of days....and they will be soft.....that should help

i also got them for looks (thanks REV-01)
they are hard but like what other people did,i replaced the hard foam with pillow stuffing and now they are nice,soft and comfortable.
i only have them on the back and when i recline the seats,its at a perfect height for my neck.im about 5'5"-5'6"

can see what you mean about needing to be 4'6" to be able to use them,,
was thinking about something for the front as the head rest needs to come forward about two more inches for my use, I'm 6'4",, can see if they hang below the original they certainly would not work,,

they just need to be broken in (at least mines did) and i'm like 5'7'' and my 1 (drivers side) jp neck pad works great for me. my step father who is like 6'3'' drove my car the other day and it hit him in the shoulder blades and he asked me what the shoulder pad thing was for... i said my head doesn't scrape the suede roof when i drive...
