I am a fluffy pillow lover, but I’ve had to use memory foam pillows on and off for years. When my neck goes out due to a shift in filling from a traditional pillow, a memory foam is the only thing helps, even more than a corticosteroid injection into my neck. My old memory foam pillows were like sleeping on a slightly soft box. I looked around and decided to try the Royal Therapy Memory Foam Pillow. I was pleasantly surprised. It was soft while still providing excellent support for pain relief. I could sleep on my side or back. It’s relatively light weight, and the perfect height with two support curves. I also appreciated that I could adjust the height of the pillow if needed. The other memory foam pillows that I purchased had a strong smell. I had to leave them out for a week and still use two pillowcases. The Royal Therapy only had a slight smell that was gone in about two days. I would definitely recommend. Read more
A bit of background here, as I think it's relevant. Analytical review after: I have a minor medical condition which means if I run short of sleep for a bit, I risk having multiple days of down time to recover. I have the same responsibilities as most, keeping a career on track, keeping relationships healthy, and keeping myself in a good mindset as I navigate the seas of life. I'm a middle aged 6' 0" male, with wider shoulders than average. (No, I'm not saying this because I think I'm anything special. I just have naturally wide shoulders.) I'm a side sleeper, and have always battled keeping my neck aligned to avoid snoring, or awakening due to needing to reposition. I've been through all the sleep studies. Apnea, if present at all, is quite minor. In recent years, as I've learn more, I've gravitated to firmer, thicker pillows. Those with conventional designs helped, but didn't fully correct the sleep issues. Recently, I ordered an inexpensive contoured pillow, to test this sort of configuration. I was shocked how much this improved my sleep. My wife noted I snore less often, and am more difficult to rouse from a deep sleep. Good signs. The cheap pillow was beginning to soften a bit too much, and also was not quite tall enough. I used it with a very thin pillow underneath. Armed with all this information, I began to research premium pillows, looking for more height, and customer feedback indicating good durability. I tend to watch my budget, but I recognize the importance of good sleep, so I wasn't averse to investing a few hundred dollars if I felt it would improve my rest. I found Temper-Pedic was once considered the gold standard, but it appeared something has changed in their production process, with users noting newer pillows didn't match up to their older versions. In digging around, I found this Royal Therapy pillow. Because the max height was considerably more than the pillow I was replacing, I was concerned it may be TOO tall, so the ability to remove layers if needed was a good feature for me. I needn't have worried. This pillow feels like it was made specifically for me, though obviously it was not. I no longer need an extra pillow beneath. I do not snore when using this pillow. I do not toss and turn. If I had to nit pick, the memory foam can be just a tad warm at times, but nothing which seems to impair my sleep. After a week to allow the pillow to break in, it provides the exact same experience as it did the day it arrived. It supports the void between my shoulder and head, keeping my neck and spine aligned, while my head is comfortable. Nothing but sleep, blissful sleep, to allow my body to recover as needed from the daily trials and tribulations we all experience. If I could give this six stars I would, and unless something changes with my physiology or the manufacturing of this pillow, I know where I'll be procuring the replacement, when this one wears out. Great stuff, and a very happy camper here. Read more
I've tried several pillows in all price ranges and still woke with headaches. I bought the travel size of this pillow and I couldn't be happier. This pillow supports me perfectly, no more headaches to start the day. This pillow is comfy too, no break-in period at all, sink in soft while being supportive. Highly recommend. Read more
This is an amazing pillow. I'm a side sleeper, and this pillow adapts to either side sleeping or lying on my back. It's the perfect combination of softness and firmness. I definitely recommend this pillow! I have purchased a half dozen or more pillows last year that didn't begin to match this pillow. Read more
