How it works
  • Your head rests, so your neck can too. The pillow carries the weight your neck muscles hold up all day.
  • Heat and massage along a supportive ridge. 3 heat levels and 3 massage levels help tight muscles feel looser while you lie still.
  • 15 minutes, lying down. After a shift, between feeds or before bed, with nothing to hold or aim.

It's shaped like a foam neck pillow, but a foam pillow can't warm up or massage. Nothing pulls or moves you; the ridge just supports your neck while you lie still.

If your neck is very tight, the first few sessions can feel intense, so start with 5 minutes on low heat and work up. Stop if anything feels sharp, or if you notice numbness or tingling.

Your head weighs more than you think

Your head weighs about 10 to 12 pounds when you sit up straight, and the further you tip it forward to look into a patient's mouth, down at a baby or at a screen, the more the muscles at the back of your neck have to carry. One widely cited model puts it near 40 pounds at a 30° tilt (Hansraj, Surgical Technology International, 2014).

Do that all day and those muscles never get a break. Neck rolls at your desk and a massage gun on the couch both happen sitting up, while your neck is still holding your head, so they help for a little while and then the tightness comes back.

I've looked down so much my neck is basically permanently in pain.

A parent, posting publicly on r/breastfeeding

Neck pain has many causes. If yours came from an injury, spreads into your arms, or comes with numbness or tingling, see a doctor or physical therapist first.

Woman resting on the Nape pillow on her couch

The rest your neck can't get standing up

Your neck muscles rest best when they aren't holding your head up, so Nape gives them their break lying down, with heat and a gentle massage.

Take the weight off

When you lie back, the pillow carries the weight of your head and the muscles at the back of your neck can let go.

Warmth where you're tight

The raised ridge sits under the curve of your neck and supports it while you lie still, and the warmth helps tight muscles feel looser.

There's nothing to book and nothing to hold, so you can use it any evening at home.

Good posture only gets you so far

Better posture helps, but nobody holds it perfectly through a full day, and your neck still needs time when it isn't holding anything up. Nape is built for that.

What to expect, night by night

Every neck is different. This is what the routine is built to do.

Overhead on light oak: a foam neck roll, a massage gun and a blank appointment card, then Nape at the end of the row

What makes Nape different

You've probably tried neck rolls between patients, a massage gun, or a massage you had to book weeks out, and each of them helped for a while. Lying down works differently.

It works lying down

Neck rolls and massage guns happen upright, while your neck is still holding your head.

You pay once

A massage costs you every visit. Nape is one purchase you use every night.

Nothing to book

No appointment, no drive, no waiting for an opening.

Nothing to hold

Lie back and press a button. Your hands and arms rest too.

30 nights to decide

Try it for a month, and if it isn't for you, send it back for your money.

For the best results

Do

  • Put the ridge under your neck. Not under your head. Your head rests lower, in the cradle.

  • Start on low heat. Turn it up once you know how your neck responds.

  • Keep sessions to about 15 minutes. Twenty minutes at most per session.

  • Use it at the same time each day. After work or before bed makes it a habit you'll keep.

  • Roll to your side to get up. Then sit up slowly instead of lifting your head straight off.

Don't

  • Don't fall asleep on it. Switch it off and move to your regular pillow for the night.

  • Don't use it on broken or inflamed skin. Wait until your skin is back to normal.

  • Don't use it near water. It's electrical, so keep it dry.

  • Don't push through sharp pain. Stop, and see a doctor if you get numbness or tingling.

Common questions

I have a neck injury or condition. Can I use it?

Ask your doctor or physical therapist first. Nape is made for comfort and temporary relief of everyday neck tension. It isn't meant for injuries, disc problems or nerve pain.

Can I use it while pregnant or postpartum?

Check with your doctor or midwife first, especially about the heat. They know your situation better than we do.

How do I clean it?

Unplug it and wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Don't soak it or put it in the washing machine.
