Cervical Pillow for Neck Pain – Ergonomic Memory Foam Bed Pillow for Side and Back Sleepers with Adjustable Height, Breathable Cooling Cover – Orthopedic Support for Spine Alignment

I love this pillow so much I wish I could add 5 more stars. I have used this pillow for 7 nights. The pillow is so comfortable! I have had my C5-7 fused. I still had nerve pain and now I have problems with my upper neck after being rear ended while my head was turned to see oncoming traffic. I also have degenerative disc disease for over 30 years. I have not been able to tolerate my current PT exercise for the muscles at the top of my skull. All of this combined has led me to waking up several times during the night with a numb thumb and fingers and also from pain. When I first got that wretched nerve pain in my arm prior to surgery all my pillows suddenly had too high of a loft for my neck to be comfortable. I tried numerous pillows both expensive and cheap. I ended up with a feather pillow that wasn’t overly filled. I was able to form the pillow to the right size to provide support for my neck and let my head rest lower than my neck higher up on the pillow. All nights were a little different and time consuming adjusting the feathers to just the right support. When I first received this pillow I went straight to my bed to try it out. I will say there was a faint chemical like odor. It went away quickly. I’m serious that I took it straight from the packaging to my bedroom. I gave it no time to air out. I’d suggest to let it air out for 30 minutes. The pillow is cooling when you lay down at first. It’s so nice. Both heights work for my neck at different times. If it’s a good day the higher support feels best. If it is a rough day the lower height gives support gently in the right amount. When you lay down on your back it is like a puzzle piece going into the last spot and it fits perfect. I have some days that the pain is hardly bearable. I need to lay down and rest my neck a few times on those days. This really helps my muscles to relax and stop guarding so much as soon as I lay my head down. I can’t begin to explain how wonderful that is. Overall I have had less numbness and tingling in my thumb and fingers and less arm pain also. My neck will still get tired but I do not have to rest it as often this past week when I’ve been using it. I do sleep on my side for half the night too. It isn’t quite as wonderful as laying on my back but it’s a very close second. When I lay down at night I like to watch a little tv or read before I sleep. I tend to like to lay on the very edge of the pillow. I am able to do that with this pillow. It has a place to rest your arms too. I use that before I sleep but not when I’m sleeping because of preference of body position when asleep. Every morning I usually feel like I have played in the nfl as a linebacker when hitting hard was still a thing. It takes me an hour or two to be able to get up and get moving around. But with this pillow I’ve been able to get up and go about my day right away. Some stiffness but overall it’s been reduced by at least half. Hard to imagine a pillow can make that big of a change but I spending close to 8 hours in it. The zipper is so well hidden I forgot it had one till I read the description again before writing this. The cover is easy to slip off. In the center is a snap that you have to undo to get it off. It takes a bit more finesse to wrangle it back on. I didn’t take photos of the pillow with it on prior to taking the cover off. It isn’t perfectly on on in the photos I included. I have never recommended a product more than this one. My Dr had recently suggested a pillow that they heard some people had success with. It was around $100 and by 3 am I was in agony and back with my feather pillow. I was sore for 3 days after attempting to sleep on it. This one is currently priced at $39.90 and that is a fantastic deal based on other pillows that are supposed to be for necks. If you get this pillow I hope it will work as well for you as it did me.

I have envisioned a pillow shaped like this for a while. I always try to mash my regular pillows into similar shapes but of course they don't stay. After sleeping on this one for a couple of weeks now I can say that I'm very happy. I use it with the higher side closer to my shoulders and it fits me well. It holds my head comfortably and well supported so that it doesn't rotate to the side when I'm on my back which is what I wanted. It really has helped my quality of sleep. I was debating getting much more expensive feather pillows like I have used in hotels and enjoyed, but I'm glad that I got this one. I just with it fit my bed a little better, it looks a little odd on a King but who cares at the end of the day. I'm happy.

For a long time I've grappled with a problem every night when I go to bed. I always sleep on my back and have had trouble getting comfortable with my pillows. One is too flat, two pillows is too much. When I saw this uniquely shaped SomnAlign Ergonomic Memory Foam Pillow I decided to give it a try. It arrived in a box all curled up. (See pic). It was simple to unwrap and it immediately assumed the shape you see in the second photo. But I was surprised there was nothing else in the box. There were no care instructions. I noticed that on the front of the pillow there was a small zipper that extended across the width of the pillow, so apparently the covering can be removed. But it unzips only across the front, I wondered: if I laundered the pillow case, would I be able to put it back on the uniquely shaped foam body? And if I did decide to launder it, what setting should I use? Cold water? Warm, delicate? No clue. I sent a message to the seller and received this reply: "We sincerely apologize that we are currently unable to offer replacement pillowcases for purchase. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and are actively working to introduce this service in the future." I think most people DO occasionally launder their pillowcases as a practice of simple hygiene. One could have hair spray, hair color, or other such things that rub off one's hair and you don't want to be sleeping on an unclean pillow case! As to the design of the product, I have to give it high marks. The fabric on the surface of the pillow is soft and smooth -- very nice indeed! It takes a bit of getting used to but I now am surprisingly comfortable laying on the pillow. The design provides a space for your head to lay and on each side the contour is built up a little, which helps give your head some support side to side. The angle of the design is such I find it gives good cervical support. My head is not bent too much. I actually look forward to using this pillow every night...at least for as long as it remains clean. I am otherwise enthusiastic about this truly unique pillow design (!) and think it may help many people sleep better, which of course is a health benefit. But why haven't they come up with a way for users to clean the pillowcase or acquire a replacement? If you can afford to just buy a another one of these pillows each time it needs to be cleaned, that would be your solution.

I have been looking for a support pillow and came across this version. I was pleasantly surprised about the top cooling layer of the pillow. It is cool to the touch and it stays cool until I fall asleep. The memory foam material feels luxurious. The pillow is uniquely shaped so that you can place your arms on either side of the pillow. It is very comfortable to rest your hands on the side of the soft pillow. The size of the pillow is great. When I lay on my side or my back, the pillow cradles my head in a soft and supportive manner. This prevents my head from moving around during my sleep. The memory foam has just enough firmness to provide the support I need. I also love the ability of the outer layer to unzip so I can clean it in my washing machine. The person who designed this pillow thought of every feature!

This is very well constructed and has exceeded my expectations. This is a very firm and durable pillow. I have used it everyday since receiving and find it very comfortable, especially for sleeping on my back or side sleeping. I haven't awoken with any neck or shoulder pain which is the reason I ordered this pillow. I think it is exceptionally comfortable and worth the purchase price. This is an item you will need to order several because other people will be trying to take it for themselves. This would be a nice gift for an aging adult or friend with neck or shoulder pain from sleeping in awkward positions.

Very comfortable and supportive neck pillow. The contoured shape keeps my head and neck aligned, and I wake up with less stiffness and shoulder tension. The memory foam feels supportive without being too firm, and the breathable cover helps it stay cool. It does take a night or two to get used to if you’re coming from a traditional pillow, but overall it’s a solid choice for back and side sleepers.
