The shape does the work
Every curve has a reason.
Firm enough to hold your weight, gentle enough that you will happily stay there for ten minutes.
Acupressure ridges
Raised points that sit under the muscles along the base of the skull — the ones a massage therapist would reach for first.
C-shaped opening
A 1.5 cm gap so your head hangs free and nothing presses directly on the vertebrae.
Wide, stable base
Firm enough that it will not tip or slide while you relax into it, on a mat or on a firm bed.

How to use it
Three steps. Then do nothing.
No routine to memorise and nothing to switch on. Lie down and let the shape hold you.
2
Place it under your neck
The curve goes under the nape, the wide base towards your shoulders. Your head should hang slightly back.
3
Breathe and wait
Five to ten minutes. Nothing to push, nothing to hold. Get up slowly when the timer goes.
Start with 5 minutes and work up to 10. Do not use Ormstead as an ordinary pillow, and do not sleep on it overnight. If you have a diagnosed neck or spine condition, check with your doctor first.
Before you buy
The questions we get most.
Still unsure about something? Write to us and a person will answer.
Most people feel looser straight after the first session. Your neck usually needs one to three days to adapt to the curve, so give it a week of daily use before you judge it.
It should feel like a firm, deep stretch — not pain. If it is uncomfortable, start with three to five minutes and lay a folded towel over it until your neck gets used to the shape.
No. Ormstead is a traction device, not a pillow. Use it for up to 10 minutes at a time and never overnight.
On any firm, flat surface: the floor, a yoga mat, a rug or a firm mattress. A soft bed lets the base sink and cancels most of the effect.
It is designed for everyday stiffness from sitting and screens. If you have a diagnosed neck or spine condition, are recovering from an injury, or are pregnant, check with your doctor before using it.
Wipe it with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then let it air dry away from direct heat. Do not put it in the washing machine or the dryer.
