The attachment is an elastic band that slides around the headrest to secure the cushion AeroPilates Head and Neck Support Pillow….

Before buying, compare the cushion and headrest dimensions and consider how the band will sit on your machine. NordicTrack says mechanical attachments need to match the reformer’s physical dimensions and mounting brackets, and advises checking compatibility with the reformer manufacturer Reformer Accessories: What to Buy First.

How much does a reformer support pillow cost, and what affects the price?

The Head and Neck Support Pillow is listed at $25.99 and marked In Stock Pilates Reformer Head and Neck Support Pillow…. That is the price and availability recorded in the supplied product data, not a typical price for reformer supports as a category.

How should I position and secure the cushion during exercises?

The listing says to secure the Head and Neck Support Pillow by sliding its elastic band over the headrest or pillow, then adjust it to a comfortable position AeroPilates Head and Neck Support Pillow…. It doesn’t provide a more detailed product-specific setup guide in the supplied information, so don’t treat another cushion’s directions as confirmed instructions for this one.

One separate pillow’s setup directions say to place its thickest part nearest the carriage so it sits under the neck, secure it, and then move it toward or away from the user until comfortable AeroPilates Head and Neck Support Pillow…. That example may help you understand how another product is positioned, but it doesn’t confirm that this cushion has the same shape or should be placed the same way. Follow any instructions supplied with your cushion and reformer.
