Filaments are present in highly non-potential magnetic configurations. On one hand, the complexity of modeling such 3-D configurations makes a useful comparison between observations and models difficult. On the other hand such highly sheared regions are more interesting and challenging for understanding eruptive phenomena like flares and coronal mass ejections. Fortunately, the presence of cold plasma allows us to measure the magnetic field inside prominences. Together with photospheric field measurements and other morphological observations, these provide a large set of puzzling constraints for plausible models of the magnetic configurations. Models are reviewed in the framework of present observational constraints with the aim to clarify a piece of the mystery which surrounds the magnetic configuration of filaments.
