So far so great
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
