[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVED my Tempur-neck pillow from the past, but they have reduced the size significantly. It's nearly a travel size. The box says that it will fit a queen-size pillowcase, but in truth, it fits in much the same way a thimble also fits inside a queen-size pillowcase. The over is also rough. I put two pillowcases on as it is distracting. I bought a mattress topper and some cloud pillows -- love all of them. But the new neck pillows are a bust for me. If you have a small head or you are a small person, they may work for you.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pillow had the shape I wanted, so that my neck didn't kink because my shoulder was also on the pillow. It definitely helps with my neck pain at night. It is a little firmer than I expected and I think it could be slightly more on softer side. Pay attention to the sizes and definitely pick smaller if you fall in the middle. If it's too large, it may put more pressure on your neck than necessary and feel uncomfortable. Overall a good pillow if you experience neck pain.
Helped a little bit with neck issues but ultimately too hard

Was having neck issues, so bought two of these pillows. Tried them for over a week and saw some neck pain improvement, but unclear if it was the pillows or just healing. Unfortunately, the pillows are just too hard for comfortable sleep long-term, and I couldn't return or exchange.
Initially, I was highly optimistic and exciting use this expensive pillow because an article I read listed it as the #1 pillow for neck stiffness relief. I was really let down when I used it the first night because of how much it elevated my neck which was too much for my liking & it because of how stiff the pillow is. I really wish this would have worked for me. It now just sits at the edge of my bed. Good thing I didn't throw out my old pillow.
This pillow is extra firm apparently which I didn't see in the description anywhere. Although the customer service person who emailed me claimed that it was. This is the hardest pillow I've ever seen. I am very dissatisfied that I paid this much for a pillow that I cannot use. If you like soft pillows this is not it
I love my firm Temperpedic mattress and have used the neck-style pillow in other brands for years. This one is a huge disappointment. It is too firm and because it is so narrow, my pillow case huge on it and the extra fabric gets bunched up and creates lumps.
