No more neck pain

I used to have frequent neck pain, but once I switched to a tempurpedic pillow I no longer have any problems. I am small in stature, so the fact that they come in 3 sizes allows me to have the perfect pillow and my husband to have the perfect pillow.
I've been sleeping on a TEMPUR-Neck pillow for 13 years, and it's been the best pillow I've ever owned or used. In fact, my old one finally wore out, so I just bought an identical one. A few notes: 1. Get the right size. I bought a TEMPUR-Neck pillow as somewhat of an impulse buy when purchasing our first memory foam mattress years ago. I didn't do my research, and ended up buying the medium size that they had in stock, not realizing that other sizes were available. My experience was so-so, but not great because it was too thin for me. Coincidentally, my mother bought a large, and it was too big for her. So, we swapped pillows and both found the right fit. 2. If you have an old pillow, consider replacing it with a new one. As great as these pillows are, like any pillow/mattress/foam product, they will eventually wear out. This happens gradually, over a period of years, so it can be hard to notice. For the past two years or so, I've had increasing neck pain in the morning and, according to my wife, had started snoring spontaneously and loudly. I finally realized that my old TEMPUR-Neck pillow was caved in and squishy from 10+ years of use. I replaced it with a new one about two weeks ago, and my neck is better, snoring is gone, and I wake to turn over far less frequently. I'm astounded at the difference; if I'd realized how worn my old pillow had become, I would have replaced it ages ago. 3. The only down side to this pillow is that it has a strong, somewhat offensive, chemical smell. The smell is attenuating as the days go on, but I can still detect it whenever I enter our bedroom - and am overwhelmed by it when I lay my head on the pillow. Hopefully the odor isn't dangerous, and will just go away over time. If you're sensitive to smells, though, maybe let your TEMPUR-Neck pillow air out for a few weeks before use, or consider another alternative. Overall, I LOVE this pillow, and recommend it highly for back or side sleeping.
This is the best pillow for me because I if I don't use this pillow I wake up with neck pain and/or a migraine. I love it so much I purchased a second one to take with me when I travel. I never go anywhere without it even if just for one night. Buy it you won't be disappointed.
I purchased the neck pillow in a medium (I am 5'4" with a small frame) and slept on it for one night. The pillow was so hard and uncomfortable that I woke up with a back and neck ache. My young son has the small size pillow that fits my body perfectly but I made the mistake of trusting Tempurpedic's height/weight chart when I ordered one for myself. Beware the pillows are firm and if it is an inch or two too tall, it will bend your neck in an unnatural way. Unfortunately, Tempurpedic doesn't have a money-back guarantee for pillows so I am stuck with a very expensive and uncomfortable pillow. Buyer beware.
Switching to a TEMPURPEDIC pillow is an adjustment, but worth it! I did try the Neck Pillow and the Contour Side to Back Pillow; however, these 2 pillows were too high for my personal comfort. I tried the Travel Neck Pillow and it was PERFECT. My chronic neck pain was eliminated. What a relief
For sixteen years, I am asleep very quickly with this size large TEMPUR-Neck Pillow. As a 5'5" side sleeper, the pillow fits perfectly. It is very well designed with the correct firmness. I am grateful.
