If you have Winkler's disease (CNH) and are here searching for a pillow, this pillow was the solution for me! I have a collection of pillows (sadly) of different firmness, size, and even one I purchased previously with a hole in the middle here on Amazon. Didn't like the one I previously purchased with big hole because i had to keep adjusting the stuffing around it to get it to the right height/density and the hole was so large that my head was falling through. So I gave this new pillow a shot based on the reviews and design and glad that I did! I am a side sleeper who tosses and turns throughout the night and within 3 weeks of using this pillow my pain and embarrassingly large bump on my ear is gone! At first, I found the pillow a bit uncomfortable but that was because the shipped size of it was too high. You can open the pillow case and remove a layer of foam and once I did I slept great! The design is great because having two holes can accommodate either or both ears, and the foam is a good enough density where it's not too firm or too soft for me. Also, as opposed to the one-hole pillow I previously bought where I had to extend my neck at night to get my head/ear to fit, the holes on this pillow are positioned more towards the edge (not center of the pillow) so that I don't have to adjust/extend my head/neck as I sleep to find the hole. Interestingly, the pillowcase that comes with the pillow is not your typical smooth pillow case sheet. I was initially not happy because I tend to be a hot sleeper and prefer cool/smooth sheets. However, I have not had any issues with this pillowcase causing me to be too hot or sweat at night -- it's much more comfortable than I anticipated. So for me, aside from removing the layer of foam, the pillow has been perfect and has improved the bump and pain associated with CNH on my ear and improved my sleep at night! As other reviews have indicated, the pillow may be modified by cutting out some of the foam or using an oversized pillow case to fit in the holes (or if having matching color pillowcases is your thing) if that's your preference, but for me that was unnecessary. If you are a CNH/Winkler's disease sufferer, this pillow may be worth the investment. It was for me! Read more
Game changer. I am someone who has struggled with severe tinnitus in the past. As part of my therapy, I do sound therapy while sleeping using a headband with built in speakers. This works great, but getting comfortable on the pillow without affecting the sound quality has always been a challenge. The blissbury ear hole pillow solved this problem. The hole in the pillow allows the speakers to not be 'squished' in the pillow, which can mess up the sound coming from the speakers. This can also cause night time awakenings. The first night I slept on the Blissbury I woke up and in the morning and immediately noticed my excessive amount of nighttime awakenings was no longer an issue! Also, the pillow is great and of high quality. I am a natural side sleeper who likes firmness from my pillow. I would rate the cushion as being on the firm side, but not too hard. The support level is absolutley perfect. No neck pain. The casing is extremely comfortable and cool. It is easy to remove and clean, which I have done thus far. I am someone who had severe insomnia from tinnitus at one time in my life. I am now getting around 7 hours of sleep per night and my Blissbury pillow is a significant part of the things I have done to fix this problem. If you are a tinnitus sufferer I strongly recommend this pillow. Whether you are using ear level or room level sound, I highly recommend it. I am a customer for life! Read more

Finally have relief from Ear Pain! ...I love this pillow. I have suffered from severe Ear Pain for years and now have pain-free ears every morning. I found a solution for a Pillow Case to fit... And keep the open chambers indented. I bought a Queen size case with envelope closure to cover this Standard size Ear Hole Pillow. I only have to slightly poke the case into the hole once or twice a night, Works great. For me the semi firmness and height of this pillow works perfect for me. Even though I am a small person I love the extra height to keep my neck and shoulder in thier correct position while sleeping on my side. Since I am a side sleeper the only complaint I have is that this pillow does not have an Ear Hole in the Center. When I turn over toward the edge of the bed that Ear hole is too close to the edge. I end up shifting over to the some hole toward the middle of the bed. Not a big deal for me but the bed now gets more wear all in the same place every night. The semi-firmness is perfect for me, finally a pillow that truely support me and does not collapes in around my head. Everyone has their certain ways so this pillow might not be for everyone... for me it is finally a Heaven sent Pillow! Read more
