Pros: Flexible, comfortable, especially for someone with a short neck. Encourages relaxed body movement. Does not seem to affect sonority.
Cons: My previous one leaked after only a few weeks and could not be repaired.

Pros: unrivalled comfort! this is the third of its kind that I use
Cons: Eventually, the L shaped clips loose their grip and the cushion becomes too smooth. But - what rest would not deteriorate with age?

Pros: Very comfortable, doesn't affect sonority.
Cons: This is a replacement for one I'd had for years, but it doesn't seem to be as secure. I'm wondering if it's because, being new, it's more inflated than my old one was. I had lost the inflation tube and finally decided to get a new Playonair as the old one was not providing enough support.
Other: I hope this Playonair settles down as I don't want to have to look for an alternative for such a comfortable shoulder rest. That's why I'm initially giving it a 3 star rating. I hope to be able to return and upgrade it!
