Customer Reviews

Finally a pillow that delivers
OK - sleeping on this pillow is pure heaven. The first night, I dreamed my entire bed was made of this stuff, and I woke up with a big smile on my face. I was in exactly the same position I fell asleep in. That is a miracle in itself.

I have severe degeneration of my cervical spine. When I was 28 years old my chiropractor told me I had the neck of a 65 year old woman. I also had a completely reversed curvature. When I saw the xray, I understood. For 25 years since then I have struggled with severe neck pain, and finding a pillow that will just - let - me - sleep - has been impossible. I have paid a bundle for all kinds. This one is a godsend. I'm not saying it's a cure or that it will work for anyone else, just that it works for me.

This 4 pound weight is perfect for me. It is very sturdy with strong support, sinks in very little, and is SO SOFT. It springs right back when pressed, and it does not retain heat. I was afraid I would get sweaty at night, but not so. It's a small pillow compared to the other foam types I've had. It is a standard size, but I wish it was a little longer, more like a queen size pillow. Still it is pure pleasure. I can sleep both on my back and my side, and my head is kept in perfect alignment with my spine. It is by far the best pillow I've had. I wouldn't trade it for all the royal goose down in the world.

Too firm
I had originally tried the Isotonic Ultra Contour pillow and wanted a cheaper version of that pillow so I decided to try this.

The description certainly made it seem as if this would be a worthy runner up to the Isotonic memory foam pillow. Boy, was I wrong. This pillow is extremely firm, to the point that it hurt to even sleep on. I didn't feel that it contoured to anything! It also seemed to build up heat. The overall experience was terrible. In fact, I woke up in the middle of the first night of having it and went and packed it up for return. If you are looking for a rock hard pillow, this is great I guess but if you are looking for something along the lines of the fantastic Tempurpedic pillow (or Isotonic) do spend the money and get those instead. The difference is astounding.

See in in person first
I have come to the conclusion that contour pillows are more of a custom item. What is wonderful for one person is bad for another. This is a good prodcut. For myself i found the hups and the middle dip too extreme for my body. This is not a design flaw in the product by merely a factor of the wrong size. I have another smaller pillow that I got for free when ordering a memory foam pad. That one is a much better fit for me personally. I would recommend that anyone looking into one of these items go out to a store and feel one in person, see if there is a matress you can lie on to try it out. Then come back to amazon and compare prices of the exact same item.

For this particular item, the covering is not the soft velour cover that comes on the Swedish products, it is a terry cloth.
