Sleep Innovations Memory Foam Contour Pillow Standard Size Head Neck and Shoulder Alignment Side and Back Sleepers Medium

I had one of these pillows decades ago that I bought from Sears. As mine wore out over time, I searched for another one just like it. I couldn’t find one. So, I purchased pillow after pillow, without much success of finding one that supported my neck as well as the Sleep Innovations one did. Much to my surprise, I was looking on Amazon and found it again! I bought the standard size. Now, this one doesn’t seem to be a firm as the ones I had long ago, but I still love it! I find the older I get (I’m 66), the softer I like my bed and pillow! The softness helps to cushion my body. My pillow did not have any oder to it upon unboxing it. This pillow is supportive, yet soft enough to be comfortable. Since comfort is determined by the beholder, you will have to decide for yourself. I will be purchasing another one today just to make sure that when this one wears out that I have another one! Read more

I was very hesitant to buy a pillow online. I buy a lot of pillows; I keep 6 on my bed alone and like to have some in the guest room and living room too. The last pillow I bought I hand picked out at a major retailer. It felt good in my hands but was terrible to sleep on. Since I picked it up in person I was a bit scared to order one online. I had heard good things about `Sleep Innovations' and also read the great reviews prior to buying which made me feel more comfortable. I had a contour pillow about 15 some years ago so I was not expecting much from this pillow. I thought if it was not comfortable I at least had a new terry pillowcase which I justified by buying it. When I received it I was very happy with the packaging. It was well sealed in a plastic bag. You do not have to worry about warehouse hands literally handling it. I read about the odor but I did not have that issue. I did not use it for a few hours though since I received it in the morning. I did place another pillowcase over it to match my sheets. I will note the pillow is smaller than a standard pillow. I placed it on my bed and when my head first went down I thought I was going to have a hard time with it but within minutes I was so happy! My head formed a shape to the pillow and it was so comfortable! I primarily sleep on my side and stomach and it is a dream! The last few nights I have slept on it I do not want to get up it is so comfortable! For the price it is `priceless' when you get even one good nights sleep. I want to add I have a lot of back pain lately. I recently had a child and am still recovering from the c section and being a single parent I am lugging the high chair, play yard, car seat, baby, all of it which is an average of 20 lbs. if not more. I would wake up every morning with back pains. Since having the pillow my back pain has not been as high. I do contribute it to the pillow and my neck/spine. For the side and stomach sleepers this pillow is a must. I am so impressed and would highly recommend it. Read more

I have been using contour pillows for 15 years. I bought my newest one to replace my prior Sleep Innovations contour memory foam pillow. Based on many reviews that I had read, I purchased both the Sleep Innovations cooling contour pillow and the regular contour pillow at the same time because I wanted to try out the cooling effect. I MUCH prefer the regular version over the cooling version. I ended up giving the cooling pillow to my husband and keeping the Sleep Innovations contour memory foam pillow. It is exactly like the regular contour pillow that I bought 5 years ago from Sleep Innovations. I was very pleased. There are a few differences between the regular and the cooling contour pillows. Cooling-wise, I can only tell a slight difference in temperature. The cooling version is not as firm as the regular version, so your head sinks lower with the cooling pillow. The cooling version had a stronger chemical smell which took longer to go away. For example, I aired out the cool contour pillow for a week before use, and it still had a slight odor when I started using it. I only had to air the regular contour pillow out for two days before use. The cool contour pillow looks as if someone simply cut a piece of blue foam and glued it to a piece of white memory foam. The right side of the pillow is higher than the left, which isn't noticeable when lying on it, but it makes it look like poorer quality. The size is perfect - same as a typical contour pillow, and the firmness was exactly the same as my old contour pillows - not too firm and not too soft. My head doesn't sink to the level of the mattress, as some said in their reviews. I feel as though my neck is at perfect alignment when I am using the pillow. I would recommend the pillow to others, and I will certainly keep buying them. Read more
