***PLEASE DO NOT PUBLISH MY LAST NAME OR LOCATION WITH THIS REVIEW. THANK YOU :) I'm a little torn with this pillow. Sometimes I sleep on it and I feel like my head is being cradled by the hands of God! Other times, it's just truly uncomfortable. I've found it's best when my muscles are sore. Then it's really, really firm and offers such great support. But even so, I can only lay on it for about 45 minutes before it becomes painful. It's very therapeutic during the first 45 minutes. Then when my muscles are back to normal, it just feels so hard and it feels like it's pushing back on me with such force. Also the neck part is really high, I often sleep with it turned around on the lower end. I'm mainly a back and side sleeper and have tried other neck pillows that were just so soft and offered no support whatsoever. This pillow feels too hard at times. I'd highly recommend it for therapeutic reasons, like if your neck and shoulder muscles are sore, but I wouldn't recommend it for a whole night's sleep. Also, a few times when I've fallen asleep on it, I've woken up with my ear(s) hurting because of it pushing back on me. It's like all the nerves in my ear(s) got pinched during the night. Think of this as your mini chiropractor, I have another pillow that I switch too after this one has healed me. It's worth the price, but don't expect it to be your only pillow.

I have spent a small fortune on a variety of pillows, over the years. I have TERRIBLE muscle-spasms that feel like I have a "knife stabbing me in the neck!" So when I bought the Tempur-pedic NeckPillow, I was skeptical. After just ONE nite, I was forever SOLD on THIS pillow! Even on days when my neck is stiff & hurts, I can hardly wait to stretch-out & relax on my Tempur-pedic Pillow & Bed because I know I will feel better in the morning!! I have NOT purchased the Travel Size pillow yet, but plan on doing so, as I know I'd NEVER sleep well on ANY other type of pillow. Thanx Tempur-pedic!

I have been using one of these for over ten years now and can't/won't go back to anything else. Using a regular pillow caused neck and shoulder issues. I haven't had a single morning with neck or should pain when using one of these. It does take a few nights to "break in" a new pillow. It may feel too firm, but it will soften and react to heat more quickly as you use it. For me, the improvement in sleep is almost immediate, even with a new pillow. The only down-side to these pillows is that once you start using one, you have to take it with you when you travel, as regular pillows just won't cut it anymore. I also have a travel-size pillow that was in my pack everyplace I went in Iraq. I could get a decent night's sleep on a cot as long as I had my pillow.

I was excited to get this pillow because I laid on one for a few minutes at a furniture store and it felt great on my neck. I have a really hard time getting my neck comfortable when I sleep. It turned out not to be so comfortable for me. The part that goes under your neck is way too high and felt like it was pinching off my nerves in my neck, so I flipped it around and put the lower hump under my neck and that was a little better, but still not great. Sometimes I wake up okay, and sometimes with a crick in my neck. Guess I'll go back to fighting with a traditional pillow. Hate to since I paid so much money for this one.
