 Fantastic... Better than Tempurpedic Dec 13, 2008
By Emmly
I have been sleeping on orthopedic neck pillows for about 12 years. I never had trouble finding a decent pillow until recently.
I tried the tempurpedic - hated it because it squishes down to one inch from the heat. I tried the d-core pillow but I got pain in my neck - it's just a strange design. I don't do well with memory foam pillows because of the heat, again, they tend to get flat and I actually need the support.
After trying about six different pillows over a period of two months, I gave this a try. It's fantastic. It doesn't flatten because it's not memory foam and the precision cut foam tubes can be changed. I started with the mid-firm one but had to change to the soft (the instructions do say to start with the softest one). No more tossing in bed, no more pain in the neck (literally).
This pillow is perfect especially because you can adjust the firmness by changing out the cores. I am absolutely delighted with it and so is my husband. He doesn't have to hear me complain that I can't sleep.
U P D A T E: I have been using this for almost 6 months now and I have to look for another pillow. I'm in between the 2nd and the 3rd cores. The 2nd is too soft and the 3rd is too hard. I am having a very hard time adjusting. No longer happy with pillow. Too bad, it worked wonders at the beginning.
My star rating has dropped to a 2.

 Not too pleased Mar 28, 2009
By C. Reid
"squeaker"
My husband and I suffer from stiff neck pain from time to time. We need good neck support while we sleep. We have tried alot of pillows over the years. Water, buckwheat, Tempura to name just a few. After reading the reviews on this pillow I felt comfortable in purchasing a couple of them for us. Mistake. These pillows are made out of VERY soft foam. Even with the choice of changeable inserts the pillow itself does not have support for your head. I only opened one pillow hoping to return the other which I did without any problems. I was very disappointed by the quality with the price I paid for this pillow.

Great Pillow Mar 04, 2008
By S. Mann
I purchased this pillow and it arrived in about a week! To set the cores into the pillow was very easy. The cover that is supplied with the pillow is not very easy to put on however, the cover DOES hold tightly to the pillow which is great. As noted in the instructions, it seems to be best to start off with the softer cores and work up to the more firm ones. Once I switched over to the next level core, the first night I awoke twice to reposition. The second night I slept though the night and likewise since then. I have not upgraded the core and I have yet to have any neck aches.
I use a CPAP machine and have arthritis in my spine (and neck) and this pillow is working very well for me. I am thrilled that I finally can sleep all night and have no neck pain in the morning. I had originally asked Customer Service if they had such a pillow, little did I know that there was one in the works!!! I am very, very pleased!!!

WOW!! Life is great again! Feb 04, 2009
By Army Wife
"quilt-a-holic"
I've been unable to sleep well due to shoulder pain for over a year because of pinched nerves in my neck. I would only sleep for a short time before waking with terrible shoulder pain every night. I've had this MARVELOUS pillow for a little over a month and I sleep through the night every night! It's such a blessing. It takes a couple of weeks to get used to having such a different-feeling pillow, but I followed the directions on which core to start out with and the pain is gone. I changed cores after a couple of weeks for a bit more firmness. I love going to bed again. :-)

Very disappointed!! Apr 18, 2009
By joyflute
I bought this pillow to alleviate my chronic neck pain after reading all the positive reviews. However, after using this pillow for a week, my little nagging neck pain turned into a major pain!! The foam rolls are a good idea except that the two firmest ones are too firm. They feel like rocks under your neck, and the soft one squishes down to nothing! The pillow is just cheap quality foam, and there's virtually no pillow in the middle, so your head ends up at an awkward angle! Also, the foam material that the pillow is made out of is very cheap quality compared to other memory foam or tempurpedic pillows! Very disappointing for the price!!
