[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Tempur-pedic pillows for 25 yrs. I used to use the standard contour pillow but switched to the large one a few years ago which works better for my side sleeping. I just gave my old ones to my assistant and she loves them! Mine seem to last about 3 years.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had high hopes for this pillow - I was careful to order the correct size, and to give the pillow time to "open up". It has been several weeks now, and the pillow is as uncomfortable as day one. It is hard as a rock and is like sleeping on the arm of your sofa. It seems that the back of the pillow - the "shallow end" if you will, always wants to slide back down between the headboard and my head which accentuates the discomfort. I have never loathed a pillow more than this one. It made my shoulder and neck worse. I have gone back to my 8 year old tempurpedic pillow that has the scooped out edges. Now THAT pillow is a miracle pillow. I wanted to order that one, but it seemed like the original design has changed based on the website descriptions.
Be aware that this is a very firm pillow. I have purchased these pillows in the past and loved them. This new one is too firm and I can't use it as I have neck issues. I don't know why the foam was changed, certainly not for the better. Guess I'll use it in the garden as a kneeler when planting.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my contoured pillow! It fits my neck and head just as described. It is firm but oh soo comfortable!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought 2 neck pillows to replace the older ones I've had for years. I don't recall the older pillows being as firm as these. I've had these pillows for two weeks now and they are still too firm that it bothers my neck and head. Hoping they will soften soon.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in so much pain with my neck and shoulder. Bought so many other pillows and none of them helped with the discomfort. The tempurpedic pillow has allowed me to get better rest, and my neck and shoulder pain has finally gone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was expecting it to be the same as my old pillow. Same model, it said "classic" so I assumed the tempurpedic foam would be the same. Not the same though. My original pillow was very hard, slowly softening with body warmth. In the winter, while camping, it was so hard in cold temps that you could easily knock someone out with it. Sounds odd but this is what I wanted. The new one is too soft. It feels like the one I already have that's had 10+ years of constant use. My old one got too soft so I thought I'd get another. But the new one already feels broke down. The shape is idential, so is the cover. The foam isn't. I like it, would even recommend it, but it's not "classic" if it's not identical, imo.
