That is too funny. About 20 odd years ago I had an accident involving a frozen lake, a four wheeler and an inner tube tied to the four wheeler. You get the picture. Well, ever since I have had a lot of problems with my neck and have done the exact same thing to those foam pillows that start with a big hump under your neck. They are always too big so I "adjust" them myself. I have never admitted this to anyone till now. And yes, I do have a raggedykat, I love him very much. That is him in the picture doing his impression of "Man with Bowler Hat".

I contacted them through their website and they told me I had to go to a chiroprator to order one.
There are other places it appears...

I knew it....and I knew that was a picture of a raggedykat.
...and quit a handsome, dapper fellow, he is.


.....that pillow is the best I've tried and I have tried a bunch.
