Memory Foam Cervical Neck Pillow for Sleeping - Chiropractor Designed Orthopedic Contour Support - Best for Neck and Shoulder Pain Relief - Made in USA CertiPUR-US

I originally wrote a 2-Star review here about a month ago talking about how the pillow is too soft, much too light, and bounces back too quickly (compared to my old Tempur pillow) to be memory foam. However, after a month of using it the pillow has turned out great for me. My neck pain which has bugged me since my car accident in January has largely disappeared. I also find the small side of the pillow perfect for a side-sleeper such as myself. I am 5'11", 160 lbs with a slightly longer than average neck. I don't find it too thick for me at all. The production value of this pillow is very high. The case itself is good enough to be worn to formal occasions. The foam doesn't smell much at all coming out of the package, and a quick half an hour in the dryer removes even the faint odor it might have had. The material is much lighter than the older memory foam pillows, but that's probably because the technology has progressed. This makes the pillow much more portable for a frequent traveler such as myself. This pillow has withstood the test of time. Now I am very glad I bought it - it has improved the quality of my sleep. The only nitpick I have is that it's not very wide, so that if you roll around a lot at night you might roll off of it a few times in the beginning.

I have been a side and/or stomach sleeper all of my 33 years of life. I recently had some upper back and neck issues that required some chiropractor visits and it was recommended that I try sleeping on my back. After looking up some contour pillows, I decided on this one. Very glad that I did! The very first night I fell asleep quickly, on my back, and for the first time ever, woke up in the same position. The difference in how I felt was amazing! I have used this pillow for a week straight and I can honestly say it has been the best week of sleep. The support is perfect (I am an average 5'6" woman, if that helps) for my neck. The tension in my shoulders isn't there anymore when I wake up. While I have been sleeping on my back, a couple mornings I have turned over onto my side to read or watch tv and it is still very comfortable support on the neck and shoulders. I won't be going back to a regular pillow ever again. Even my husband (who has always slept on his back and never had back/neck issues) wants one now.

UPDATE: my husband is still using it but I stopped, especially after I've done regular stretching for the neck and shoulder muscles. I barely use any pillow anymore. *** I've been having neck pain for several months now. It didn't go away although my living and "sleeping" conditions significantly improved. I decided to try this pillow, got two for me and my husband. It took me a week sleeping on it to finally say that I like it and will keep it. On the third day it hurt even more than before and my pain seemed to move to my shoulders. But today, after about a week, I woke up with zero pain at all. I will keep updating. Most importantly - I never slept on memory foam pillows, I never paid any attention to my pillows and this is something totally new for me. My husband snores due to sinus problems, and this pillow as I thought seemed to decrease it first couple of days, but then it started again Snoring doesn't bother me, I sleep and don't hear anything. And sinus problems are not supposed to be treated with the pillow, so I don't write my review based on that. Overall, he likes this pillow too. I did a lot of research on different kinds of pillows. No odor and harmful chemicals, firmness, thickness, shape, fabrics and materials it filled in with. In terms of price and quality - this was my best choice.

Dear Dr. Samuels, After several x-rays, my husband was diagnosed with cervical disc degeneration. Along with Physical Therapy, he was told to purchase a good cervical pillow. I spent a lot of time looking at many pillows, and reading reviews. When I came across the Contour Neck Pillow, I felt it was exactly what he needed. Lorenzo is blind, so I helped him feel the two rounded ends,one larger than the other. According to the picture, it appears he is to lie with the smaller rounded end under his neck and head. He lies on both back and side. After the first night, he told me that he woke up, for the first time in months, without pain in his neck, shoulders, arms and hands. He is a 75 yr. old man who has been lifting weights his entire adult life, which as you know, contributes to necks problem along with poor posture. I am so impressed with how much better he feels each day, just by sleeping on the Contour Neck Pillow, that on Oct. 25th I ordered one for myself. I am a 58 yr. old, fit woman, but I work at a hospital, and I'm on my feet many hours in the pharmacy. The fatigue starts in my neck, down my back and at times, causes my hands to tingle. X-rays indicated that I have a degenerative lower lumbar and I too once enjoyed heavy weight training. I am thinking about buying two pillows for my parents for Christmas, who are in their late 80’s, and also complain about waking up with back pain. I believe these Contour Neck Pillows would make nice Christmas presents and contribute to a healthier nights sleep. In case anyone asks, I was able to put a Queen-size pillow case over the contour pillow, to protect the very soft cloth, covering the special designed, durable foam. Please let me know the best way to clean the pillows, without breaking down the technology of the foam or the soft fabric covering it. Thank you for caring what your buyers think and feel about this product. If you could design something like this for a guide dog...let us know...they work very hard too :) Debra and Lorenzo

I’ve purchased many of this pillow and told others and showed others how this was the best pillow for neck support to own. The last pillow I purchased I can’t use I literally toss and turn and cannot use this pillow. Makes me sad because i thought the hard job of finding a good support pillow was resolved but This pillow has changed I haven’t changed but the pillow changed They are now using a different inserted pillow button the same nice outside cover This new pillow insert is garbage it’s soft and not at all supportive Beware if you’ve used this pillow in the past it is no longer the same pillow even though it looks the same The insert has been changed to a very cheap non- supportive pillow inside that beautiful cover Now I’m sending this back and hunting for a decent pillow again

This pillow is a life-saver to me. Before this pillow, I would wake up 20 times a night due to neck and shoulder pain, and feel tired all day because of not sleeping well. I tried many pillows, none of which worked well enough for me. This high-profile (5" on the high side) pillow is PERFECT for me. I don't wake up so much during the night now, I get a good sleep and I'm not in pain when I get up. It is very well made, better than ones I've bought in stores. And for anyone wondering if it will work for them: I'm only 5'7" and 150 lbs and it is NOT too high profile for me. I sleep sort of on my side/stomach, sometimes exactly on my side, sometimes a little on my back, and this pillow works for all of those positions very well. All this to say, I have a better quality of life now because of this product. I highly recommend it if you have neck and shoulder pain.

I have owned this for over a month now. Pillow is firm - I would describe it as similar to a cushion on a couch. Made of memory foam - it gives slightly but not much - either that or my head doesn't weigh much. I have slept on it every conceivable way - it's ok. Having slept on a feather or feather combination pillow all my life it is quite different - but not uncomfortable. I find my allergies are a bit better - I am allergic to most feathers put into pillows. It does what it is supposed to do for sure. I will keep it because this is what I need for better alignment.

This pillow has really helped me out. I have been struggling from what is known as ligamentous laxity - basically my ligaments are loose and my muscles get irritated by having to compensate holding everything together. I thought it was fibromyalgia, the pain was so distracting and awful. I had another memory foam pillow before this, but rather than having a groove in the middle it was sort of just a hump. Like a normal pillow shape I suppose. It was terrible for my neck because it forced it to continue supporting my head while I slept, or alternatively, if I slept on my side, my neck would strain sideways. I'd wake up daily with a new pain in my neck, a numb hand or two, etc etc. Grab bag daily ailment. :P It took me about 5 days to get used to this pillow. I think my neck was so compressed from the other pillows that when it started to decompress it took an adjustment period. At first I didn't think I would like it. Now it is the only way! I can actually comfortably sleep on my side, although it is still best for me to lay on my back. My neck lovess this pillow and consequently so do my shoulders. Anyone struggling with neck/shoulder pain should give this a try. Regardless of what you are ailed with it may save you some expensive visits to the doctor.
