The 3pm problem

Your head weighs about 10 lbs. Your screen can make it feel like 60.

The further your head leans toward a screen, the harder your neck works to hold it up. One widely cited model puts it at around 60 lbs at a 60° tilt.

That dull ache at the base of your skull by mid-afternoon isn't bad luck. It's leverage.

Head tilt vs. neck load The further your head tips forward, the heavier it feels to your neck.
  1. 0° 10–12 lb4.5–5.5 kg
  2. 15° ~27 lb~12 kg
  3. 30° ~40 lb~18 kg
  4. 45° ~49 lb~22 kg
  5. 60° ~60 lb~27 kg

Modelled estimates, not measurements. Hansraj K.K., “Assessment of stresses in the cervical spine caused by posture and position of the head,” Surgical Technology International, 2014.

So we built something to take the load off.

See the 2-Point Lift

The 2-Point Lift

Two points of support. One dial. Zero bulk.

Most neck supports wrap your whole neck. NAPE holds your head at the two points that matter, then gets out of the way.

NAPE neck support, front view, showing the chin rest, Lift Dial and chest base
  1. 01

    Chin rest

    Padded, vented and contoured. It sits under your chin and stops your head drifting forward, the movement that tires your neck all day.

  2. 02

    Chest base

    The U-shaped base rests on your upper chest and collarbones and takes the load. Soft side wings keep it steady.

  3. 03

    Lift Dial

    Turn it with your thumb to raise or lower the chin rest until your head sits level. 40mm of lift, no pumping.

  4. = Zero bulk

    Support in the right places means no bulk anywhere else. That's why it's just 120g, and why you'll actually wear it.

Actually feels like my neck gets a break

“I spend probably 10+ hours between my laptop and phone. By the evening my neck used to feel insanely heavy. I use this for a short session after work and it genuinely feels like my neck finally gets a break.”

The hump was honestly what made me buy it

For me it wasn't even pain at first. I kept noticing this bump at the base of my neck in photos and it made me really self conscious. Then eventually I started getting that tight, heavy feeling after long shifts too. I tried stretches from YouTube but I'd do them for three days and forget. With this I just leave it beside the couch so I actually remember. I'm not expecting some miracle overnight but I can already tell I'm holding my head differently throughout the day. I catch myself before I start leaning forward now. That's probably been the biggest thing for me.

I kept rubbing the same spot every night

Every night without fail I'd sit on the sofa and rub that exact spot where my neck meets my shoulders. My husband even used to joke that I needed a massage subscription.
I tried changing my pillow. Changed my desk chair. Raised my monitor. Used a massage gun. All of those helped a little but I still kept putting my head forward without realizing it.
This is the first thing that made me really notice the position itself.
Now when I start creeping toward the screen, I actually catch it.
Still use my massage gun btw 😂 but definitely not reaching for it every single night like before.

Fits into real life

I have a 9 month old so I'm not doing some perfect 30-minute posture routine every morning lol.
Some days I barely remember lunch.
This is doable. I can use it while the baby is playing beside me or when I'm watching TV at night. That's what I needed—something that fits into my actual messy life, not an imaginary version of me who wakes up at 5am and stretches every day.

Bought Mom one after seeing how she sits

My mom is retired and somehow spends more time on her tablet than I spend on my phone.
Every time I visited, she'd be sitting on the couch with her chin practically touching her chest, scrolling Facebook, then complaining that her neck was stiff.
Classic mom logic 😂.
So I got her this.
First week she called me asking if she was using it correctly. Second week she called to tell ME I needed one too.
Apparently I've created a monster.

WFH ruined my posture

Worked from my dining table for “just a few weeks” in 2020. Somehow years later I was still hunched over a laptop every day.
My posture got BAD.
I finally upgraded my chair and monitor but still found myself leaning my whole head toward the screen when concentrating. This has helped a lot with that awareness. I normally use it sometime around lunch and again when I finish work.
The funny thing is now I notice other people doing the same forward-head thing on Zoom 😂

I bought it because I hated my side profile

I'm just gonna be honest because everyone talks about “neck health” but vanity is what got me 😂. I hated how my posture looked from the side. My chin looked forward, shoulders rounded and there was that little hump starting at the back.
I kept trying to consciously stand straight but the second I stopped thinking about it I'd go right back.
What I like about this is I can actually FEEL the position instead of telling myself “shoulders back, chin back” all day long.
Been keeping it near my vanity and using it pretty regularly. Still working on it, obviously, but I already feel less slouched in photos.

I've gone through the whole ergonomic desk rabbit hole.
Standing desk: bought it.

Foot rest: bought it.

And somehow I was still sitting there with my head six inches forward 😂.
Turns out you can own an amazing desk setup and still have terrible habits. This made me much more conscious of my neck position, which is what I was missing.

I handed my wife a neck support for our anniversary.
Yes, I realize how romantic that sounds.
She looked at me like I had lost my mind 😂.
In my defense she works from home and talks about her neck almost every day. She tried it that evening, liked it, and now uses it regularly.
So technically I crushed the anniversary gift.

I sit. A LOT.

I'm 47 and work in accounting. During busy season I can be at my desk from early morning until dinner.
I've dealt with tightness around my neck and shoulders for years. It gets worse the longer I sit, especially when I'm reading numbers on two monitors.
I was skeptical because a lot of posture products look gimmicky. I decided to try this because it focuses more directly on the neck.
It's easy to adjust and takes very little time. I normally use it in the evening now.
I wouldn't call anything an instant fix, but personally it has become one of the few posture-related products I actually continue using.

Actually useful gift

I'm trying to stop buying my husband things that become clutter.
He doesn't need another wallet.
He doesn't need another bottle.
He definitely doesn't need another novelty gadget.
What he DOES do is work at a computer all day and complain about his neck every evening.
So I bought this.
It's been sitting beside his office chair for weeks now and I see him use it all the time. Honestly I'd rather give somebody something slightly boring that improves their everyday routine than another “cool” gift they forget about after Christmas.
Would absolutely buy it as a gift again.

Like every photo:
“DELETE IT”
“my neck looks weird”
“why didn't you tell me I was standing like that”

She laughed for five minutes and then immediately opened it and started using it 😂.

Game changer for long editing days

Editing days can easily turn into 10-12 hours for me, especially when clients send revisions late. The worst part is I completely stop noticing my posture once I'm focused.
I started leaving this literally beside my keyboard.
Every couple hours I'll use it while exporting or waiting on files. It gives me a reason to stop staring into the screen for a minute.
Really simple change but probably why I've actually stuck with it.

Our story

We built the neck support we'd actually wear.

I owned a bulky neck collar. I wore it twice. It was hot, heavy, and slow to put on, so it lived in a drawer while my neck ached every day at 3pm.

So we spent 9 months and 13 prototypes building one light enough to forget about. That was the only rule.

If it doesn't earn a place in your day, send it back.

FAQ

Your top questions, answered.

Still not sure?

Send us your question, or your neck measurement, and a real person will reply.

hello@trynape.com
How is NAPE different from other neck supports?

Most wrap your whole neck in foam or need pumping. NAPE holds your head at two points, under your chin and on your chest, and adjusts with one dial. That's why it's light enough to actually wear.

Will it fit me?

Yes. NAPE is one size that adjusts to you: the strap wraps around the back of your neck and the dial sets the chin-rest height, so it sits right on any neck.

How long should I wear it each day?

Start with 15 minutes, 2 times a day. As your neck gets used to it, build up to 45 minutes.
Wear it during focused work, reading, or rest.

How fast does it ship?

Orders ship in 1–2 business days, and you'll get tracking by email as soon as it's on its way.

What if it doesn't work for me?

You're covered by our 30-day Feel-the-Difference Guarantee. If your neck doesn't feel the difference, send it back for a refund.
