For the 9-to-5 neck

You clock out at 5. Let your neck clock out too.

The 15-minute, zero-effort wind-down for desk workers who are too tired to stretch.

After work

Your evenings are for you. Not for your neck.

Fifteen minutes of gentle warmth and a steady vibration after work, so the rest of the night feels like yours again.

Winding down

Wind down without trying.

Lie back, switch it on and let the warmth do the work. No routine to remember, no stretches to skip.

It’s not your discipline. It’s the timing.

Stretches, posture apps, physio homework. Every fix you’ve been sold asks for effort at 6 PM, the exact hour you have none left. So it gets skipped, and tomorrow starts tight again.

Why we made it

We’re not doctors. We’re people who got tired of being told to stretch. So we made the one thing we’d actually use every night.

Alivio is for people who are too tired for wellness homework. It works alongside good breaks and a good desk setup, not instead of them. It just makes the end of the day softer.

The holiday pair

For someone who works too hard.

Two pillows for $159, a $39 saving. One for you, one for them.

Questions before the sofa

Will a gentle vibration feel like anything?

It’s a steady vibration with no kneading nodes, and you will hear the motor running. It’s not a deep massage. If you want strong pressure, a shiatsu massager is the better pick. If you want to switch off after work, this is.

What powers it?

USB power. Plug the cable into any USB phone charger, laptop or power bank. There’s no built-in battery, so it needs power while it runs; a power bank lets you use it away from an outlet.

Which shape should I choose?

Cradle is quilted and the most cushioned. Roll is a taller felt roll with a softer head cushion behind it. Wave has soft nubs along the neck curve and is our lowest-priced shape.

Is it safe to use?

Use it for about 15 minutes at a time and don’t fall asleep with it switched on. Stop if anything feels uncomfortable. If you have a medical condition, reduced sensation or an implanted device, check with your doctor first.

What if it’s not for me?

Use it for 30 nights. If it doesn’t become part of your evening, email us for a full refund of the product price. See our refund policy for details.
