I have difficulty sleeping most of the time. My new TempurPedic pillow was a relief. I have everything I need for a good night sleep. Only problem I have .... I am extremely sensitive to chemical smells. Why does my pillow smell like it came out of a vat of chemicals from a factory? I have put every possible protective cover on the pillow, even doubled up and I still smell the chemicals. This is not good for sleep...I'm back to trying to find another expensive pillow I can buy and start over. At this cost it should smell like baby powder!
I requested this pillow for my birthday after having borrowed my younger brother's on one occasion. I've been very grateful my husband bought me this pillow!
Wasted almost 100$ on this thing. Hard, dense, thin. Uncomfortable. Its terrible plus it has a nasty chemical odor. Breathing that all night can't be healthy. Can't be returned! What a business angle.
I've left my pillow uncovered a month now to air out. When i use it, i wake with terrible dizzy spells. I wish i knew how to expedite getting rid of the pillow's smell . I've owned this pillow before, i dont recall taking this long to air it out. Desperate for help cause I need this pillow for my neck problems
My husband developed a spinal condition around his neck area, and needed a firm but comfortable support while sleeping. As we have Tempurpedic mattress we swear by, I decided to try the neck pillow. It was a "gamble" because he is a fussy sleeper. But, Tempurpedic did its magic. The first morning after, he declared he can't live without it, and worked wonders to ease his pain. Thank you Tempurpedic! I would like to suggest, however, that more thought be given to the material used for its cover. First, it feels a little too "warm" to skin, which may disturb one's sleep especially for those who do not like to keep air conditioning on while sleeping. Second, it attracts dust and lint, which cannot be avoided in bedding. And, third, it washes well but collects all that lint in washing machine too!
The shape of the pillow provides great neck support. My only complaint is that it's taken a very long time for the plastic-like smell to dissipate from when I first opened it. We followed the instructions to air it out and knead it regularly, but even now (about 4 months later) there is still a faint smell. It was so strong at first that my husband couldn't even lie next to it because it nauseated him.
As someone with serious spinal problems, I love the comfort of the TempurPedic small neck pillow. I purchased a new one for myself, as well as also purchasing the side sleeper pillow for my husband - alas, we have not been able to use them because they are still emitting a horrific chemical stench! (It's been over a month since both pillows arrived). We have a TempurPedic bed, and really love the comfort it affords, but we do not recall the chemical odor being so overwhelming and strong. Have you changed your foam formula using cheaper materials, or worse, outsourced it to a developing country for profit's sake? We were seriously thinking of purchasing a new TempurPedic bed with the adjustable frame, but now we're not sure that we shall. Please return to your original formula.
