Make office chair more comfortable
3/12/2010
Hello Victoria:
I think this product will accomplish what I need to make my office chair more comfortable. I have one concern, however, and that is cleaning. After a time it will smell from my head (hair) being against it and will also get discolored. What do you recommend as the best way to clean it (get the smell out). For the most part I think this is a very clever item, and I wish you great success. Thanks, Howard
ANSWER TO HOWARD:
Hello Howard,
Thank you for your feedback. The fabric itself is machine washable and won't shrink or bleed, BUT that's not a desirable option because you'd have to empty all the buckwheat in order to wash it. Then you'd have to refill it with the buckwheat you removed. It's probably not an exercise you'd want to perform. (You can open Headbone through the zipper on the side seam of the neck. But be careful if you do, since the filler is loose.)
Therefore, I suggest to surface-clean it with a damp cloth. For example, put light soap on a cloth and lightly rinse and squeeze it out so it's not sopping wet or sudsy. Then wipe the surface clean. That should eliminate odor, but a disinfectant spray like Lysol would also help.
Note also you can put a sachet inside Headbone. Use a regular sachet that you buy from the store OR make your own, like this: 1) get a small piece of light fabric like muslin or cheesecloth; 2) remove some buckwheat -- about a tablespoon or so -- and place on the fabric; 3) spray or dab the buckwheat with your favorite cologne; and 4) secure the fabric closed and put it inside Headbone. (Sewing the sachet closed would be better than tying, since the latter would be bulky.) Then your Headbone will smell nice and also transfer the scent to you when you use it! (I'll offer these as an accessory soon -- do you want a sample? I'll send you a prototype if you want to try it.)
I doubt discoloration will occur, especially since you got black.
I'm considering options for a cover that could be easily washed, but it's tricky since a double-skin-type cover would affect adjustability and firmness.
I hope these are satisfactory solutions to your questions. Thanks again and regards,
Victoria

Perfect for office and car
hi, I got the package yesterday. I wanted to say 2 things:
a) the product - perfect for what I wanted it for. I wish i’d bought more for the office and the car
b) shipping & delivery - awesome. you customized the shipment, stayed connected with me to estimate costs and the delivery went through very smoothly and way quicker than I expected.
the US priority mail is really efficient. you really should be getting more customers outside the US.
thanks,

Amazing product! Love, Love, Love your Body Prop pillows. I was having major back issues and ended up needing steroid injections to help with the pain. My orthopedic doctor recommended your product. I’m so glad I bough it. What an incredible difference it made. Turns out that long hours of working and sitting at my computer were causing the problems. I still work long hours but my Body Prop took the pain away. Now I have one at home and at work. And I don’t need injections any more! Something so simple, yet so effective. I’m grateful for the help. Thank you.
Hello Bonnie, Thanks so much for your feedback. That is a powerful testimonial that you don’t need injections any more. Wow! is all I can say. I hope your Body Prop (and Backbone — I looked up your orders) continue to bring you comfort for years to come and thank you so much for being a customer! — VC
I have severe neck and back issues because of my spine. The only comfortable place to sleep because of my back is in my recliner, however, with no support for my neck, it often made me miserable from the pain. This pillow has fixed that! It cradles the base of my head and my neck, so there is no longer a gap between my neck and my chair. Pillow is very versatile and can be used for lower back support also. Very simple to adjust the fill so you can get the exact amount of support you need. I have tried many, many pillows, lots of shapes, sizes, lots of different types of fillings. But this, this is the absolute BEST pillow on the market! Worth absolutely every penny, I wish I hadn’t waited so long to order!
I bought a new recliner and started to use it. My neck became very sore. I knew I needed something to support my neck and I envisioned something like your product. When I went on line to see what was available I found your product and was sure it would work. I purchased your long unit and am using it now. It works great. I drained some of the husks out of it to fit my neck. No more neck pain. Thanks
Dear James, Thank you so much for your feedback and testimonial. I am glad you took the extra step to drain excess filler so you could get it just right for you. I hope Body Prop continues to serve you well for a long time! Regards, Victoria Closson, Body Prop Creator

Thank you very much, RL! I greatly appreciate the time and effort you took to leave a review, and I’m so glad you’re happy with Body Prop. You’ve made my day 🙂 I hope you enjoy comfort with Body Prop for a long time to come! Warm regards, Victoria
Absolutely genius! I am very particular especially when it comes to a comfortable chair. This pillow fills the head and neck gap in my new recliner while looking very nice in it. Thankyou for an exceptional product!
Thank you for your feedback, Mary! I am so happy you found comfort with Body Prop in your new recliner and hope you enjoy it for much time to come! Regards, Victoria
Fantastic service – struggling to find anything like this in the UK so contacted Victoria directly, so helpful and shipped straightaway for me. My Grandad is 93 and struggling so this has bought him so much comfort, something so simple but it really works.
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much, Claire, for your kind feedback. I am happy to hear you and your grandfather are happy with Body Prop!
