I have scoliosis and this pillow helps me sleep plus helps my back relax enough to be ready for the day. We have a temperpedic mattress too but the pillow is the perfect compliment. Enhances the mattress yet stands alone and does just fine on a regular mattress.
We have always used these pillows and loved them. However, I think that they have changed as they are now VERY firm, too firm for my neck. We also just bought a king size bed and they definately are not big enough for that size bed.
Although the pillow has helped the pain in my neck, it is very uncomfortable, feels like my head is laying on a brick! Therefore, I do not sleep well because I am uncomfortable.
I bought two pillows for husband and self. We both have broad shoulders and sleep on our sides. Did our measurements and purchased pillows based on results. We both did not make it through the first night with the pillows. Pillows are extremely firm and we could not get comfortable. I tried again a couple nights later using the smaller side of the pillow. Did not make it through the night. I have a similar type pillow that was much cheaper but wore it out in less than 2 years. We have other temperpedic pillows we've used for 6 years. I thought this was an answer to our needs. Instead they now are on the guest bed.
Very hard to the point that it hurt my neck and it's now in the basement. I was honestly so disappointed, I wish I can still return it and get the soft gel one instead.
At first, the pillow seems very comfortable and adjusts to your neck and seems just right, but after several nights sleep, I started to get sore neck muscles due to the pillow's firmness. Found this pillow very incompatible with stomach and side sleeping also. I turn a lot in my sleep and would wake in the morning with sore neck muscles and headaches. If you just sleep only on your back, in one position, it might work for you. If this pillow were offered in a softer version, yet still supportive, it would work much better for the way I sleep.
I tried for years to replace a neck pillow that was stained, likely full of dust mites, etc. Nothing worked until I bought the tempurpedic. Not only was it an improvement but for the first time in years I can sleep many hours without waking. It is more firm than I was use to so it is an acclimation process. I am so happy that I think on the next BOGO I will buy again so I can have it for the future in case they change the design. Strongly recommend
