[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started having pains in my neck (probably osteoarthritic--I'm pushing 60). Noticed while on vacation that they went away, so figured they might be related to my pillow and/or mattress. Tried a tempur-neck pillow and it worked to relieve the pain. I wake up feeling refreshed rather than sore in my neck.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very disappointed in the contour pillow. It is not nearly as nice as the prior ones I purchased. There was at least a medium choice that is no longer available.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how much a difference this makes for my neck pain. I workout regularly and have tight triceps, shoulders, neck, etc. This makes cramping easy when I sleep, especially if I sleep wrong. This pillow has greatly reduced the pain I'd wake up with several times a month that would last up to a week.
I bought this pillow with high hopes. I read the reviews and had hoped it would be the "it" pillow. I developed neck pain after two days. I read on Tempur pedic website that it may need a couple of weeks to break in and I struggled to use it consistently for 8 weeks. I had to stop using it due to persistent neck pain. Same experience with my family members (we bought 4). Now we have 4 expensive pillows that are unusable and unreturnable. I wish we could send it in and exchange for something else but they do not accept returns. May work for some people, definitely did not work for a single member of my family.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love my new pillow. Great support for my neck issues. I have severe issues with next and shoulder pain and I've had my pillow for about a month now and it has made a huge difference in alignment with my spine. So thankful I found this pillow.
My husband and I both have Tempur-Pedic pillows that we have loved for many years. After many years the pillows became too soft and it was time to buy new ones. Last year I ordered each of us pillows. However, neither of us have been able to use them. They're incredibly hard and do not form to our neck and head like the old ones used to. I keep hoping over time that they will become softer but they do not. I tried mine again last night and then immediately noticed my hands went numb, so I had to put it away. I'm so disappointed because we loved our old pillows as they were very supportive cervically as well as comfortable. Maybe they changed their foam?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will preface this with the fact that I'm a petite person. Short and fairly light and frail. This pillow was way too solid for me and had almost no give, even after roughing it up and sitting on it and violently squishing it quite a few times. When I put my head on it (on my back or side), it started cutting off circulation in my body from the positioning (SOMEHOW) and had negative effects overall. I couldn't get comfortable and definitely couldn't sleep. To get this pillow to squish at all, I actually have to sit on it. I've used contour pillows before, but they were all softer than this. I would recommend this for someone with a much larger frame or heavier build than mine--the pillow might squish/conform to your shape the way it's supposed to in that case. Otherwise, this might be great for folks who want no give at all. If you can get it to fit your size/shape perfectly, that might work well to provide ample support. The pillow's construction itself is excellent, and I can tell it would last a while if I were to actually use it. It's high quality and solid material. Again, maybe a little TOO solid for this tiny person.
