I am very picky about pillows I get due to being in constant pain from a herniated disk in my neck & suffering pinched nerve agony. I need pillows that won't increase the pain. I've tried many MANY different pillows over the years (mostly high quality from the Symphony Pillow by Tempur-Pedic, memory foam, visco memory foam, gel fiber, polyester, cotton, chunks of memory foam, etc) and I've discovered there's not really a "perfect pillow" or "the One" out there.
I found out you have to make a 'Pillow Foundation' custom fitted to yourself and no one pillow can do that alone. (There might be a single pillow that works great for some since some might hate having more than one pillow-everyone's different, but for those hunting for a better night sleep due to your one pillow failing you, try more pillows together.) You may need some, more or an army of pillows to cradle you so you can get some real deep worthwhile sleep.
I know it's true as I am a happier now with my own 'Pillow Foundation' and helping my sister make her own too. We finally have better sleep quality. It's taken me a long time to figure this out after reading so many unhappy pillow reviews on single pillows and then experimenting with my 'Pillow Foundation' idea. It works great and I recommend trying it out yourselfdefinitely worthwhile.
This pillow is a part of my 'Pillow Foundation' and a good supportive one too. I bought three even (one for my sister, who uses it behind her neck / 2 for me). I love these cute little pillows! :)
I'm mostly a side-ish back sleeper (it's mix between the two) and my sister goes either back or side for her sleeping. We are not stomach sleeping people (so I don't recommend my 'Pillow Foundation' idea for stomach sleepers as I have no experience/research for that position).
These pillows are what you need for that extra bit of fluff you need under your neck, head, or even your arms (A+ arm support pillows too). Basically, they are soft and yield just enough, but are supportive enough to be firm too (in the way you really want, the 'no pain' kind of way).
This pillow has gel polyester filling/micro-gel fiber fill. It's the only kind I will buy now in pillows concerning anything polyester as a filling. Gel polyester is slick and 'gelly-like' when you roll some it pinched between your fingers and this is the good stuff here! They won't go flat easily at all (they might a little if not stuffed well enough, I got one that was a bit under stuffed, but still good); the support + softness is always there.
I mainly use these for my arm supports on either side of me in combination of a Dual Sided Memory Foam Queen Pillow by Ashley Sleep (firm) with a thin old cotton pillow (had it for many many years, think it may have come from Walmart though) on top which can be folded in half for extra loft plus a Carpenter Beyond Perfect Synthetic Down & Visco Pillow to support the right side of me (my full mattress is beginning to sag a little, so I top it up with high quality soft pillows to prolong the mattress' lifemy mattress is those Science Sleep (or Sleep to Science?) 400 series ones, they don't last longmine is sagging after 2-3 years).
I also use the Gel polyester plush cover for my legs from the Embrace Memory Foam Body Pillow from Sleep Innovations and the long body foam part of that same pillow as a 'headboard' to keep my other pillows from getting out of place (by going up too high, etc as I move around a lot in my bed when I sleep).
Definitely get these for your own 'Pillow Foundation'! (Or try any one of these pillows if you are a single only type pillow person; the pillows specified within my 'Pillow Foundation' are the ones that I find worthwhile.)
These "12x18 Synthetic Down Pillow Form Insert" pillows here make a wonderful addition. Hopefully my 'Pillow Foundation' suggestion will be helpful to someone out there suffering chronic pain like me.
Side info note:
((The Tempur-Pedic pillow I have is much too firm; it's not comfortable. My sister has another one (I think Tempur-Pedic Harmony) and she never uses it for sleep, both were $99+ eachthey do make nice seat cushions though! Visco memory foam is better than regular memory foam. Gel fiber/polyester is better than regular polyester. Cotton is ok, but chunks of memory foam is not comfortable to me being lumpy and uneven, not supportive.))I ordered this pillow as a way to help me sleep upright, which I do to help my back pain. It is the perfect pillow for that need. It squishes down just enough-not too much, not too little-so it has been a very good purchase for me! It doesn't leak feathers, which was a negative review for quite a few down pillows I saw on Amazon, so I am glad I purchased this one.
