Like two hands gently support your neck. But with a softer touch. I have had one of these pillows for years and was recently parted from my pillow. I had to get another one as I immediately noticed the difference it meant to my neck and consequently the rest of my day. No pain and stiffness with this pillow supporting you.

I have been using this pillow in medium for a little over one month now due to a lot of neck pain. My neck pain is still working its way out, but it has improved and my sleep posture has improved because of this pillow. My only complaint is that I can't use a regular pillowcase with it, but I manage. It's worth every penny to alleviate my neck pain considerably.

I am 5'4", bought the small tempur neck pillow and have been using it now for over a week. I am mid-50's and was starting to have neck aches and headaches more and more often upon waking. Wasn't sure if it was my neck or sinus issues causing the pain but after reading so many positive reviews I thought I'd give this pillow a try. So, first impressions upon opening the box. Wow, the pillow is pretty small! My standard pillow case swallows it. Not sure why they didn't make it "standard" size. However, the smaller size does not affect it's purpose or my sleeping habits although I would pay a little more for the same pillow in a normal size. Next, it did not have an odor and it was not rock hard. I was happy with the density of the foam. After 2 nights, upon awakening, my neck was a bit stiff BUT, it was not an ache. I assumed there was probably a bit of "realigning" going on with my neck. Since then, I have not woken up with any pain! Sinus issues don't seem to be as bad either. The pillow is extremely comfortable and I am very pleased with my purchase!

I recently purchased what I can only describe as the world's most disappointing pillow. Right out of the package, it looked promising-soft, fluffy, and white as a cloud. But, oh, how deceiving appearances can be! First night in, I fluffed it up like a good parent would their child's bedtime story. But as soon as my head hit the surface, I realized I had unknowingly entered a nightmare. Instead of cradling my weary head, it felt like I was resting on a deflated beach ball. Every time I shifted, it made a sound that resembled a dying animal-definitely not the soothing ambiance I was hoping for. By the morning, I was shocked to discover that I had developed serious neck pain after just one use! I felt like I'd been in a wrestling match with a particularly stubborn opponent. The supposed "memory foam" felt more like a long-lost relative: it didn't remember anything and was completely unresponsive to my needs. To top it all off, it smells like a combination of rubber and regret. I've tried airing it out, washing the cover, and even sprinkling it with baking soda-nothing works! I might as well be using a block of smelly concrete. In short, if you're looking for a pillow that will turn your nights into a real-life horror story and leave you waking up in agony, look no further! This pillow has officially earned a permanent spot in my closet, gathering dust and bad memories. Save yourself the trouble and invest in something-literally anything-else!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i love everything about it - the support it gives when sleeping on back or side through shape and pleasant consistency of the foam, the washability of it's cover and that it is long lasting. i bought the first tempur pedic pillow years ago and slowly acquired a few more in different sizes and shapes for each family member who are very happy with them, too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I first experienced at tempurpedic pillow when visiting my cousin 14 years ago. Next Christmas at the age of 11 I asked for one and it's the only pillow I sleep with. I also got the whole fam on board as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pillow is extremely comfortable and supportive in the right places. I'm normally a side and back sleeper and it supports my neck perfectly. The quality is top notch and I was glad to see almost all of this pillow was made in America.

I use a similar pillow at a relative's house when I visit. I thought this pillow would be the same but it's very much firmer. I think it'd be best for back sleepers. I'm a side sleeper and use the shortest rolled edge. It takes a little while to get used to the firmness. The pillow is constructed well and came with a zip cover. I'd recommend this product for anyone who wants a very firm pillow, especially if they sleep mostly on their back.

We have used this exact Tempur-pedic neck pillow for at least twenty years. About every two years we would replace them. It was a life saver for my neck problems. Both my husband's and mine are an extreme disappointment as they are hard as a rock. My husband went so far as to sit on it for a 2 hour car trip and he says it's better but nothing like the ones we are used to. There is no "memory" in this pillow. It doesn't give. It's just hard. Such a disappointment.

I would only recommend this to back sleepers. We ordered two neck pillows along with our mattress, I don't know what my husband was thinking because I am a stomach sleeper. This absolutely doesn't work on your stomach, you feel like you are choking yourself. It is also too low for sleeping on your side. Basically if you get this pillow you are stuck sleeping on your back. I only use this when I'm taking a nap and don't mind sleeping on my back for an hour. It is very comfortable it doesn't give you a sore spot on the back of your head and it keeps your neck nice and straight, but if you don't like being stuck on your back don't fool yourself.
