However, they do not last as long as they should. Bringing up a great question: how long should a pillow last? My hope would be that a pillow would last at least a year. My Homedics pillow lasted just that a year. I then had to replace it because it got Alzheimers: it went flat and forgot to re-inflate.
It left me to wonder whether other memory pillows would last longer than this brand.I suffer insomnia. I cannot get my neck comfortable. Because I cannot, I tend to grind my teeth, which in turn gives me jaw aches. I have been through various foam, feather, bean bag type and none of them really work, and possibly contribute to the problem of sleepless nights.
I got this one and to my surprise WOW!. I put my head down on this. My neck is cradled and the proper level, my head is comfortable. I close my eyes and SLEEP. I have used this five nights in a row and slept good for five nights. No tossing and turning.
I LOVE my pillow!!
Buy HoMedics Ortho Therapy Premium Grade Memory Foam Contour Pillow with Velour Cover, Standard Now
I'm hoping this is the same pillow that I purchased directly from HoMedics in 1997. I paid $60 and it has held up all these years -I even packed it when I had to spend more than 1 night in a hotel. One thing people need to pay attention to is the pillow thickness: I'm petite and Tempurpedic told me to purchase their small, which is only 3 inches thick. I'm ordering this one as mine is 11 yrs old and may not be providing the support that it used to; if made with NASA grade memory foam, the pillows are supposed to last 8-10 yrs.I did not really like the feel of this one. Seemed very cheap. I have had many of these kinds of pillows before, but this one seemed pretty bad. I would not recommend this product.I have some serious neck problems and require a pillow like this shape. I sleep on it in the OPPOSITE of the way shown in most pictures with the thicker side under my neck. It works, I bring my pillow everywhere.My old pillow was getting too soft in places and I wanted the same one but couldn't find it. So did a search and decided to try this one. It kinda sorta works but it really in too soft and i will have to keep looking. however, for now its OK.
