7 months ago I lost my tempurpedic pillow that I had since over 7 years ago. I bought myself and my wife the same pillows over a month ago. It wasn't the same.
I've always had a difficult time falling asleep. For most nights, this nifty pillow has reduced the time I spend tossing and turning from around 45 minutes to about 15, if I were forced to guess. The queen size pillow is ridiculously wide, which is lovely if you tend to roll in the night. I also make use of both sides: tapered up when I'm reading in bed, then flip it over for comfy side sleeping when I turn off the light. I'll usually end up on my back once I actually fall asleep, a transition the pillow handles well without a flip back to the tapered side.
I have had a contoured pillow since 2004. I recently got a second home and needed another pillow. I recently received my new pillow that I bought directly from Tempurpedic. Looks just like my old one, but I have to tell you that I think they have changed the formula of the foam they use b/c it stinks. It almost smells like old dirty socks and it has been over a month. Why? I wish the folks at Casper, awesome foam bed manufacturer made pillows!
This pillow completely eliminated my nighttime shoulder pain! Because of the contour on both sides of the pillow, I am able to slip my shoulder underneath it without raising the entire pillow. And because of its firmness, it remains at a perfect level for my head without pushing down on my shoulder. This is definitely worth every penny.
I bought this pillow for my husband because he's mostly a stomach sleeper but it's a bit too high and hurts his neck so I've been using it because I sleep more on my side then him. It's supposed to be for side and stomach sleepers but I don't believe it's the right height so it should only be advertised for those who sleep on their side and back.
I originally had a temperpedic pillow and I love it. After a hospital stay I quit smoking and decided to buy a new pillow to alleviate the residual odors from my previous bad habit.
