I use the pillow to prop up to watch TV while reclining on the couch. It does prevent pain and numbness in my upper back and neck as I have arthritis very bad. I find it a bit high for sleeping with. Kinda makes my neck ache a little. That could be because of my arthritis though. It had a slight smell. I removed covering and let it air out for about 3 days. It's good now.

I slept on a foam pillow since childhood. The memory foam side sleeper pillow was a bit awkward the first night. I had been scrunching my old pillow and this pillow wasn’t cooperating! When I woke up the next morning I noticed my neck felt better. It’s no longer awkward, it’s more comfortable and I feel I’m sleeping better. On my old pillow if I slept on one side of my head too long my ear would hurt & I would have to turn over. I haven’t had that problem with this pillow. Also it seems to stay cooler than my previous pillow, no more sweating!

I've slept on this pillow for several weeks and I absolutely love it. It is THE best pillow I've found. My head feels as if I've sunk into a cloud of comfort. This pillow does not loose its shape. No bunches up; no pillow pounding to seek comfort.

I've always been a restless side sleeper. I have to put some effort into getting a good night sleep. I've tried many different pillow styles trying to find one promotes restful sleep and avoids cramped neck and shoulder muscles when I get up in the morning. This pillow is the one! Not sure why but it has given me a week of restful sleep leaving me feeling great when I get up in the morning. Wish I had bought two.

I bought this pillow just recently and really do like the firmness yet softness of this pillow. I've only been able to sleep on it 2 nights because of the strong odor from the foam. I have it outside hoping that airs it out because I really do want to sleep on this pillow!

I thought this would be like every other pillow I have ever bought that would not be good on it's own and need to be used together with another pillow. Yet, this pillow on it's own works great, prevents me from waking up, and less tossing and turning and switching sides. Definitely recommend.

This is the perfect pillow for people who sleep on firm beds. Since a firm bed doesn't 'give' much, you need higher support for your neck and shoulders. I highly recommend this type of pillow. I can't say I feel the coolness much, but that is probably because I put a hypoallergenic cover on it, and then a pillowcase, You will probably want to do that to as it has a fairly pungent odor to it that is taking a long time to dissipate. I was surprised at its weight when I picked up the box it came in, but as long as you're not having pillow fights with it you should be fine. :) All in all, a good purchase that I would recommend.

I purchased the pillow on Black Friday for a great price! I was excited to receive it...after opening the plastic wrap, I flipped the pillow over & could see several dark spots through the fabric of the protective zipper cover...each about 1/2 -1" in diameter...they reminded me of mold or something...so I returned the pillow to our local Sam's Club, and unfortunately, they didn't carry that pillow in stock, so I was unable to replace it...missed a great deal darn it!

I have bought two. One about six months ago and the smell was terrible and I had to put it outside and it never was good. I bought one during black Friday by mistake and it smells too. I've put it in a room we don't use till it airs out. I've sprayed it with Febreze and Lysol to no avail.

I bought this pillow to help my beautiful bride to be complete comfortable in her hospital bed During the two weeks she had use of it she said she felt more comfortable and for me it made it easier to dribble water into her dry mouth. Unfortunately this is where the review has to end as she had earned her wings
