I had been suffering for a long time from my jaw hurting every day. I would wake up with a sore jaw and it would hurt all day long. Since getting the tempurpedic pillow my jaw has not hurt one bit! I am so happy that this has worked and I can sleep comfortably and am pain free during the day!
I bought my pillow about 6 mo ago, and wish I hadn't. The size and design looked good in the illustration, but it didn't work out. For one it was way too hard. My head and neck hurt after I woke up, and my arm had completely gone to sleep. Everything was numb, all the way to my fingertips. I tried for a month to get used to it, but finally gave up and gave the pillow away.
My 7 year old pillow was a memory foam one which I still own. However it was soft to begin with. I decided to go with a firmer option per recommendation of my chiropractor. Went to Bed Bath and Beyond to hunt for a decent body and neck pillow. I tried out around 7 to 8 different types. Tempur pedic was firmest without feeling like a rock. So went with a gut feeling and paid the full retail price. Three months down the road I find this pillow to be truly fantastic. It never heats up, the support stays firm under the head and neck. The material is of good quality. My sleep quality is pretty awesome. I paid the price but this pillow has delivered. Hopefully this pillow will last long time.
I've had two Tempu-Pedic pillows, and we're now purchasing a third (first for my husband). The first one I had lasted for a couple years but eventually wasn't thick enough for my neck anymore. I tried a "cheap" version of a contour pillow to see if I could get away with it. DID NOT WORK. Ended up buying a second Tempur-Pedic and have been loving it again ever since.
I purchased the TEMPUR neck pillow to replace one I previously owned. While the curve of the new pillow fit my neck well, the good news ended there. I found the new material in the product to be much harder but worse than that, very irritating to my skin. I had a rash on my face from using the pillow which persisted until I gave up and stopped using it. I tried putting additional pillow cases (up to 3) on top of the one it came with but nothing helped. Of course I had also washed the zip off case but unfortunately the pillow itself is not washable.
I have been buying this pillow ever since I had my neck operated on for a herniated disk in 2005. I literally cannot use any other pillow. All other pillows make my neck uncomfortable, and I cannot sleep. Every where I go, I take my Tempur-Pedic Neck pillow! I will only buy this pillow for the rest of my life, I love it. Thank you so much...for every good night sleep!
