The item was in good condition but it does not fit my needs. I gave it to a friend who is using it successfully.

I've been dealing with degenerative disc in my neck C5, 6, and 7. Worse for the last 6 months in that I was waking up every day with a headache. I assumed it was coming from my neck issues. Got this pillow and from night number 1 to now (3 weeks later) I have not awakened a single morning with a headache. I had purchased 2 previous pillows that were "name brands" and $100 or more and they didn't provide any relief. So I thought taking a chance on a cheaper pillow wouldn't involve a huge loss of money if it didn't work. I am thrilled to wake up every day pain free.

This is the best pillow for side sleepers. It's great for back sleepers, too. Many pillows advertise themselves as appropriate for side AND back sleepers. However, I think it is harder for side sleepers to find a supportive pillow. My experience is that a good side sleeper pillow works fine for back sleepers, but not necessarily vice versa. I'm a side sleeper and have tried the expensive ($150) pillows and the cheap ($20) pillows and everything in between and have a roomful of like-new pillows to show for it. This one is sufficiently high to hold the head level and properly support the neck. The indent in the middle is what helps to keep the head level and pressure off the ear. And you can turn it over and around to find the best fit for you as each side is slightly different. And the price of this one is very reasonable compared to some of the ridiculously-priced pillows (seriously, $150+ for a pillow??!). The pillow is firm but soft, which is what a side sleeper needs. Note that memory foam just doesn't work adequately for side sleepers as it "gives" too much to support the neck no matter how firm it supposedly is in my experience. And the shredded memory foam, which is generally advertised as "adjustable" so that you can fluff it as you like, also fails in my experience because it not only shifts when you want it to, but also shifts when you don't and results in waking with nothing supporting the neck and so a "bent" neck/head. This pillow fits in my standard case, but isn't washable per the instructions. I put a couple of pillow cases on to keep it clean. I will reorder this pillow if/when the current one needs replacement as this is now my go-to pillow. I took off one star, however, as the filling on this one also seems to shift a bit overnight. The manufacturer provides a video on how to move the filling back into place, but I find it somewhat difficult, esp. if arthritis is flaring in my fingers. Accordingly, it would be nice if the manufacturer would provide a zipper on the pillow in order to more easily redistribute the filling. I will note that I solved the problem my own way by folding a small hand towel and placing it between the bottom of the pillow and the pillowcase under the neck area. This way the pillow retains an appropriate height and I don't have to fuss with moving the filling around.

Never have I ever had a better night's sleep.This pillow is amazing and I am truly happy I found it.NOT HOT like foam and soft but firm to perfectly support my neck and head.I dont toss and turn anymore. I can recommend this pillow to everyone and I have already been telling all my friends.Happy waking up without a headache and well rested!!LOVE this pillow people!

Nice concept, but the area where you should place your neck doesn't offer enough support for me. As a side sleeper there's a gap between my neck and the height of the pillow

I was so excited to get this pillow as it was recommended by my chiropractor but I think it might be the wrong size for me because it's extremely uncomfortable and I've ended up throwing it in the middle of the night because it just doesn't work. I'm 5'6" so I got the bigger size, but I'm wondering if maybe I should have bought the smaller one? I don't want to waste my money again, so not sure if I'll try it out, but so far, not happy with this purchase. I would try it out if you can before buying because now that I've opened it and used it I'm pretty sure I can't return.

Great pillow . I have a herniated disc in my neck I can finally sleep through the night

The middle section that supports the head and neck are excellent. The sides are another story -- too firm. What's weird is that one would think that much fill would cause the head to sink in a little bit to a comfortable spot, but it doesn't. There's so much fill packed in that it feels like my head is tilted at a crazy angle. If you like a firm pillow with good neck support, this could be for you. As a back/side sleeper who tossed and turns, it only worked half the night for me. Still looking!
