Core Products Tri-Core Cervical Support Pillow – Gentle (Medium Firmness) Orthopedic Neck Pillow for Pain Relief, Back and Side Sleepers – Ergonomic Contour Pillow – Assembled in USA, Full Size

In total I have purchased three of these pillows. One for myself and two others for gifts due to my happiness with the pillow. I decided to purchase this pillow based on the reviews I read on Amazon. I had already tried soft, firm, memory foam, contour memory foam, water, and water-base pillows. Nothing really did the trick. I suffered major whiplash in an accident over 10 years ago and to this day the muscles in my neck have yet to figure out that they can relax. I would wake up with headaches every morning (if they didn't wake me up in the night). I would wake up gasping for air because my airway was constricted by my poor sleeping posture. I even had a sleep study done, thinking I had sleep apnea, only to find out that I did not. So I was at my last straw when I finally decided to "gamble" on this pillow. In comparison to how much I had spent on other pillows, the price wasn't bad. Compared to a cheap $10 pillow at Wal-Mart, it may seem expensive. However, I was worried that I would be spending the money on yet another "gimmick" that wouldn't work. I decided to try it and haven't looked back since. Other suggested a break-in period, so I was armed with my water-base pillow to use as a backup when my neck got sore from the new pillow. I only had to use it the first two nights. After that, I haven't had to go back. I take it whenever we are going to be away from home and I find that if I don't, I end up with a neck ache or a headache. Recently I was sharing a hotel room with a friend who asked the next day if my boyfriend and I had gotten new pillows. I told her we had and asked why. She said she had come prepared with ear plugs (due to previous experiences with our snoring and tossing and turning) but didn't have to use them. She said we both slept peacefully on our sides with barely a murmur. I highly recommend these pillows for anyone that feels they need a more supportive pillow. The side cushions are great for when you want to sleep on your side as they are the right height to comfortably match your neck. The inner pocket is perfect for when you want to lie on your back as it cradles your head, while supporting your neck. I don't find I have to make any effort when I switch positions, I just roll to one side or the other as I would with a regular pillow. However, I don't toss and turn nearly as much with this great pillow. The one downside I have found is that it is not very good for stomach sleeping in my opinion. The high sides and low middle make it difficult to find a comfortable position for your head in the stomach position and if I ever roll to my stomach while sleeping I wake up with a neck ache from straining my neck. So if you are a back or side sleeper, I would say go for it. If you prefer to sleep on your stomach, I would probably look elsewhere.

After suffering for weeks with a stiff neck every morning after getting out of bed, I determined that I needed a better pillow that would provide more support. After needing to have my neck adjusted twice by my Dr because I couldn't move it to do simple daily tasks, I researched cervical pillows. This was not the first one that came up in my search but one similar that was 3x more expensive. After reading the reviews, I was convinced I needed to try it. One of the reviews I read was from a chiropractor who suggested starting out with the 'gentle' version of this pillow. I took his advise and that's what I purchased. At first it was very uncomfortable to sleep all night with the new shape of this pillow. But I remembered reviewers said to give it at least 2 weeks to adjust to the new shape and support. I continued using it and began to realize that it was better shaped for my head and neck than any other pillow I had ever used. The quilted center section allowed my head to rest comfortably without needing to push against extra foam or fillers that I didn't need on my head. At the same time the neck rolls are just enough support for my neck that I don't wake up with a stiff neck or sore shoulders in the morning....and my morning headaches are gone too! There are 2 different levels of support for your neck based on your needs - my can change from day to day so I appreciate that I can flip it around and get more or less support without needing to get a 2nd pillow. The tri-core foam offers support and comfort all rolled into 1 affordable package. I can now sleep on my back (which I normally never do) without experiencing any back or neck pain because my head is cradled and my neck is supported with this pillow. I highly recommend that you try this if you are in need of some neck support to alleviate stiff or sore neck or shoulder muscles. Just take heed...it will take a little while before you are adjusted to the shape and support offered by this pillow. I have been using mine for about a month now and it's the one pillow staying on my bed! The price point is perfect and if you can get free shipping that's an even better deal that you won't regret...you can once again get ready to face your morning with a spring in your step because you had a great night sleep!! 05/11/13 - update - still using this pillow and loving it! I have not needed to make a trip back to the Dr to have my neck adjusted since I began sleeping with this pillow. I like it so much that I have been suggesting it to friends I work with that suffer from neck pain. Great product at a great price...you can't go wrong with this purchase!!

Man muss sich erst eine gewisse Zeit eingewöhnen.

highly recommend The packaging is excellent, and the delivery was harry

Helps my neck

The pllow took a bit to get used to but it works well and has helped with my neck issue.

First was dissapointed that I am unable to return, I had the plastic bag on for a week and in a pillow case to try this pillow. I spoke to my chiropracter about this product because the purchase items from this company as was told good pillow but you have to give it time. I have used it for the two weeks and the pain in my necl and shoulders is unreal. The pillow is supposed to craddel you neck and head but it doesen't. I'm not sure if i'm to short(5'5) for the pillow but it is not good. I have turned it around to see if that makes a difference but it does't.
