The neck stretcher from WELLENGOLD was subjected to an extensive practical test .
In terms of ergonomics and comfort, the product is completely convincing. The neck rests perfectly on the product and is suitable for narrower as well as wider and larger adult necks. In terms of adaptability, it should also be noted that the product is not suitable for children’s necks.
The ease of use is impressive, nothing needs to be set up or assembled and the neck stretcher can be used immediately.
The stretching effect of the product can be felt shortly after putting the neck down and the shoulders relax.
After repeated testing, the neck feels noticeably relieved and less blocked. In the practical test
The product can be wiped clean with a damp cloth after use or if it becomes dirty . The nature of the surface makes it easy to clean.
In the practical test, a clear relaxation of the neck muscles and thus a positive effect on neck health was observed after repeated use. This product was convincing in the practical test due to its easy handling and muscle relaxation effect .

*Themaximum score is 100 points
At the time of testing, the product was not yet listed on Amazon. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €30.59 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €13.24 . The neck stretcher from WELLENGOLD is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €20. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
