Prayers are yours my friend,

Thanks for the tip for not becoming too "smelly"
I was looking online and it seems there are several styles of hard collars. Some look very sterile and others look more fashionable, as if made for sports injuries. What was yours like? As I'll be approaching the Summer months would like one that breathes to some degree, thus was looking at the ones that appear to be for sports injuries as they are more open. My concern is trying to sleep in the dang thing. That's what I liked about the soft collar last time, was easy to sleep.
