Couldn't sleep before

Couldn't sleep through the night waking up multiple times a night, now i sleep straight through like a rock. Didn't change diet or sleeping patterns to make this happen. It just makes your neck lay optimally with absolute support and i am assuming this means less tossing and turning required which lets you sleep longer and hit REM faster.
As a side sleeper , this pillow eleviates my neck issues. I have bought one before and have left it at my in laws for when I visit. It make the visit more enjoyable.
This pillow has helped with neck pain more than any other pillow I have tried. It has so much less give than the cheaper memory foam pillows out there and in this case, that is a good thing. My neck gets the support it needs throughout the night. As a bonus, my head doesn't get too hot either, which is nice since you can't flip the pillow over in the middle of the night. I have had to adjust to resting my head near the edge of the pillow instead of the middle because I used to sleep with my left arm under my pillow, but that is very uncomfortable for my neck due to the extra firmness of the pillow. So, I sleep closer to the edge of the pillow and my arm lays to the side of it instead of under it. So, if you tend to sleep with an arm under your pillow, this might not be the ideal pillow for you unless you can adjust. Luckily, I was able to adjust after a week or so.
I started using my Tempur-pedic neck pillow less than two months ago, and it already offers significantly less support than it did two months ago. As a result, I have to use a folded towel to prop up the neck part in order to get adequate neck support now. Considering how expensive the pillow was, I feel ripped-off. No, I would not recommend this pillow.
This is the second side pillow I've owned from Tempur-Pedic. I wanted another one with a higher profile to get a better ergonomic fit for my shoulder and head when I sleep. The first pillow I bought in 2009 has been holding up great as a my go to comfortable pillow. I have to bring it with me when I travel now because I have a harder time getting used to other pillows. I would recommend washing the cover regularly and getting a protector to extend the life of the cover. Only downside to my purchase was finding out that the width of my high profile pillow was actually narrower than my other medium profile neck pillow from 2009.
The height of the pillow is different from the previous version. I've purchased the same Standard size pillow, but the new version is about an inch thicker than the previous version. I should have purchased Low for the same height as previous Standard
