Nature's Guest Cervical Pillow, Contour Orthopedic Support and Cervical Traction for Neck Pain Back Pain Relief, Ideal Neck Pillow Back Pillow Side Sleeper Pillow, No Memory Foam Standard Soft

Like many of the reviewers here, I have bought more pillows than I can count and still not had relief nor a good night's sleep. I am thrilled with this pillow.Finally, I can sleep on my back (1) without too much pillow behind my neck or behind my head forcing it up, and (2) without a bunch of pillow flaring all around my head and neck making me hot, AND (3) I can sleep on either side without having to flip the pillow over or rotate it.The design is brilliant!Since starting to use this pillow about five nights ago, I notice my posture has naturally improved, that is, I'm not having to constantly monitor it to make sure my shoulders are back and that my head and neck are over my shoulders. Also I wake up without a stiff neck. Even without stretching I have much better mobility. My shoulders and back feel lots better too.Other pertinent info:There was absolutely zero smell when this pillow arrived and it fluffed up quickly.The day the pillow arrived, I received an email with instructions for de-compressing the pillow from packaging as well as instructions for adjusting the pillow.As you know from the pillow's description you are able to remove stuffing to adjust the pillow to your comfort level. What you should know is that in the instructions, the company says if you require MORE stuffing, "we would be happy to send you more filling that you could add to your pillow."Oh, and the pillow came in a zippered plastic bag that I am keeping because if I travel, I will DEFINITELY be taking it with me.Besides having two different sides to choose from for neck support while sleeping on your back, the biggest factor in my choosing this pillow over trying another was the no-questions-asked, money-back guarantee.My recommendation: try it.

My stiff neck is slowly getting better... Was it this pillow? Or the fact that I've been working out my shoulders so they get stronger? Maybe both. I've been using this pillow for a month now and don't feel like I need to switch. When I received it, I used it as is for a couple of nights, but my neck and cheekbones didn't like how dense it was. So I followed the directions and pulled out a bunch of stuffing then rearranged it, and now the neck support part is lower/softer, and the raised side areas are a tiny bit softer but still large enough to support my cheeks and temples. When I'm trying to fall asleep on my back, it helps me feel more comfortable because I can kink my head to the side and feel support against my cheek without the other side of my neck tensing (like it does when you fall asleep in an airplane seat). And when I sleep on my side, there's just enough give to feel supported but not forced. When I end up on my stomach (which I try to avoid), it's not very comfortable, but that's not this pillow's fault. Sleeping on my stomach sucks in general, and this pillow mostly helps avoid that. So that's good.There are a few issues I would like to bring up and maybe, hopefully, the company reads this:1. The cotton cover is nice, but I can't remove it to wash it because then I'd have to take ALL of the stuffing out. So perhaps an extra inner cover would be helpful (maybe made of a more antibacterial fabric like bamboo or hemp).2. The stuffing is regular polyester, so, perhaps they could think about changing the filling to a more environmentally friendly material.So, overall, a good pillow because it's adjustable, affordable, and apparently returnable (though I don't need to). I just hope this company can transition to more eco-friendly materials like organic cotton, hemp, bamboo, shredded latex, recycled polyester etc...

Although this pillow took a little adjustment, it is probably the best pillow I've ever had. The first two nights I slept on it as it came from amazon. I slept well, but had a little problem with my ear falling asleep and having some ear discomfort. If I keep my head in the depression, instead of rolling over on the raised part on the sides, this isn't a problem. Although the filling is soft and fluffy, it has a lot of support. I decided to take just a little fluff out of the sides and the part under my neck. That slightly reduced the firmness and I have slept very well since.UPDATE:The longer I use this pillow the more I love it. This is the opposite of most pillows I've tried which I might like for a while and then start having the same problems. This pillow has helped me have the best sleep I have had in years. I'm thinking about buying another just to make sure I have another if anything were to ever happen to this pillow.This pillow is the absolute best back sleeper pillow you could ever get. The support is amazing and it is so comfortable. It makes it easier to sleep on your back. I usually lie on my back till the moment I am drifting off and then roll onto my side. Once I learned how to position my head on the pillow, side sleeping was comfortable, too. I am waking up with much less pain. I wouldn't necessarily say it is perfect for side sleeping, but it is still the best pillow I have tried. Over the past 5 years, I have bought at least 10 different pillows trying to find one that was comfortable. Unless something unexpected happens, I won't be buying another. This is the pillow I have been looking for.I highly recommend this pillow.
