Eileen Durfee Explains How to Use the Back & Neck Shaper Sizing Kit

Eileen Durfee: Okay, we're going to size you to see what rolls work best for you. So, we're going to put one underneath your low back one inch above the iliac bones, and then I’m going to feel your neck curve. So, the back of your head still touches the ground. What we want is, we want a set of rolls that you feel so relaxed, you can go to sleep with. Then, we want ones that you feel a stretch. Okay, so with you being so short, I know that we're not going to be able to use very big cushion on your low back. So, let's try maybe a three inch. We have 2.75 to 3.75. So, lift up here, and go ahead and arch there. And then same thing. So, her neck, you know, she's shorter. I'm gonna go with 3.25. Put that there.

 

Now, these don't have the groove like the cushions, but it just gives you an idea where to start. So, go ahead and lay your legs straight out. You know, so we're checking most of her torso is, you know, on the ground. Maybe it's a little bit high here. So, let's move this one out and reduce the size cuz you're so short, three to a 2.75. Go ahead and point it out on that. Yeah, so … so yeah, more of your upper torso is there. Now, seems like your neck is a little more flexible than your low back. So, let's go up a size on the neck. Okay. And we're looking for something, you know, you pull it down to your shoulders. You're looking for something more, your back of your head touches the ground, and it kind of feels comfortable. So, how does that feel?

 

Participant: It feels good.

 

Eileen Durfee: Okay, so on you, a 2.75 and this is the soft density. And a 3.5 is a medium density. So, we're gonna go ahead and put a 3.5 medium under your neck. Okay and then we're gonna go ahead and put a 2.75 on your low back. Okay, now, lay your legs out. So, got to make sure those are in the grooves. So, do you feel like a real good stretch anywhere or do you just feel super relaxed?

 

Participant: I feel relaxed, but a slight stretch.

 

Eileen Durfee: Okay, and how about your neck?

 

Participant: I feel relaxed in the neck.

 

Eileen Durfee: Relaxed in your neck. Okay, so what we want to do is, we want to get the ones that you relaxed, because that's the smallest and the least dense one. So, that's the right size for your low back. But we want one that you can tolerate with your knees bent.

 

Participant: Okay.

 

Eileen Durfee: Because our goal is to actually increase our curvature. So, we have better posture. So, let's go to a medium density in the low back. All right, go ahead. And we're gonna go to a hard density in the neck. We're gonna see how that does. Okay. Alright, so now what kind of a stretch are you feeling? More in both areas?

 

Participant: Yeah, let's say so.

 

Eileen Durfee: And then how does it feel when you bend your knees?

 

Participant: It feels the same.

 

Eileen Durfee: Okay.

 

Participant: Yeah.

 

Eileen Durfee: And see, your torso with the harder cushion is a little more elevated, but that's where we want to create the curvature. So, I would say that your correct size would be to get a 2.75 soft and medium. And then in the neck, you're a 3.5 and you need the medium and the hard. So, that's how to properly size.
