I have occipital and cervical neuralgia and I have tried many different pillows and all failed me, EXCEPT this pillow! It is MY SAVING GRACE! I am a side sleeper and I love it! It cradles my neck perfectly and I’m a very small adult. I prop it up to support my neck and shoulders and mid back when watching tv in bed. I lay on my side to sleep and I love the side wings that support my arm without having nerves pinching. I suffer from migraines too and this pillow comforts me during attacks. I love the size, the shape, the material and the sturdiness! It is the best pillow I have ever owned and it really has helped ease my pains in my neck and shoulders. I actually will bring it to hotels, or camping because if I use any other pillow, my neck and shoulder end up hurting if I don’t use this pillow! Even my dog likes to lay on it! It’s easy to clean, unzip the cover and toss it in the washer and then dry it. I use a pillow case over it, queen size and it fits fine. I highly recommend this pillow to anyone with neck and shoulder issues! You absolutely will not be disappointed! You will rest well and wake feeling good! Read more

I have chronic neck pain from a car accident 26 years ago. I had been using a more traditional type of cervical pillow—the kind where the center is basically a valley surrounded by tube mountains. It was okay, but not perfect. Enter this curiously-shaped invention. I have only been using this new pillow for about two weeks now, so I can’t yet speak to its durability, but I can definitely say that it is already a marked improvement over the rectangular neck doughnut. Thanks to my years of using the older style cervical pillow, my body already knew how to fall right into position with this one. I imagine that most people’s bodies would figure it out easily enough even if this is their first such pillow. My head and neck simply WANT to settle into the sweet spots. My neck pain, which will never be zero (unless they come with Six-Million-Dollar-Man neck tech before I die), was significantly reduced after the very first night of use and has remained at this lower level each morning. The day always brings reasons for the neck to hurt more, so I’m always ready for some overnight healing. This pillow does not disappoint. Not only do I wake up with less neck pain than I used to, but I also feel more refreshed and energized. I was surprised on that first night to learn that the part where the head rests while lying on my back was thicker than with the older style pillow I was using. I wondered if that was going to be bad, but it was great. My head actually feels more cradled by this design than, and I think that means less urge to fidget to find a good position. My head just feels right while on my back. Side sleeping has also become less fidgety with this pillow. My face hits that shape just right and it feels so natural. The plush finish is also quite soothing. My arms don’t always want to tuck into the niches as shown in the photos, but when they decide to then they also just fall in quite naturally. All in all, it’s a great design and has shown improvement in my sleep and pain reduction. Again, I have only owned it for a couple of weeks, so I can’t speak to how well it will perform over time. So far I’m very happy with the purchase, and I would recommend this to anyone who has neck or shoulder pain to manage or has sleep quality issues. Read more

I've been trying various pillows for about two years since we got a Sleep Number bed; this one for two months. About me: I've had my right shoulder reconstructed, am diagnosed with grade 2 spondylolisthesis at L4, and am super sensitive to the way my back rests during sleep. I'm searching for something that aligns my spine, gives the right support to my neck, and alleviates the tingles in my arms, wrists, and hands that come with side sleeping. This pillow is nearly perfect! I love the way the ZAMAT's form holds shape and cradles my skull when I'm on my back yet is high enough to tuck under the sides of my chin-neck beneath my ear when I'm on my side. The hump where the neck rests coupled with the skull divot seems to be the magic sauce. NOTE: I did remove the thin foam insert from the underside beneath the zipper which made the height right for me. It was just a little too thick/tall with the insert in place. I was surprised that removing it was enough to correct what I thought was a fatal error out-of-the-box. Don't buy this pillow if you like softies. The foam is comfortably firm for me...I sink into it just enough. The pillowcase is comfortable, stays relatively cool (I'm a perimenopausal woman saying that!), is easy to remove, and washable. I ended up putting a soft, stretchable jersey pillowcase on, and that's made it all the better...plus no staining on the factory cover (see pics where it stained before I finally put on a casing...oops). Why 4/5 stars? Because the little shelves where you can hang your arms/wrists/hands are just not big enough for a me-sized person. I'm on the heavy side, wearing a size 16. I have big boobs and large-ish upper arms. This pillow would be PERFECT if the ledges stuck out a little further or had some curvature to hug my wrists in place. It's hard to describe what I mean by this. My arms/wrists tend to slip off the too-small ledges. Plus, my shoulders are just thicker than the space UNDER the ledges so the pillow rides up when I want it to give way. I tried to take a picture of this situation...viewer beware! I will happily keep using this pillow while seeking another iteration that's just a little more perfect...in short, I recommend it highly. Especially if you have skinnier arms/shoulders than I do!

I have really bad TMJ and have been looking for a pillow for years that wouldn’t cause so much pressure on my jaw when I sleep on my side. This pillow is perfect ! I have been falling asleep easier and the dip in the middle cradles my head and neck perfectly! Read more
