Core Products D-Core Cervical Neck Pillow - Extra Firm Orthopedic Support for Neck Discomfort, Back Sleepers, Dual Neck Rolls, Cervical Alignment, Midsize, Assembled in USA

This pillow is probably not for everyone, but I love it. It does support my neck as advertised, neck hasn’t been sore or stiff since I’ve started using the pillow.

New Update: It’s now been almost 6 months and I cannot do without this pillow! I now sleep solely with this pillow. I see a chiropractor for some skeletal issues. He has me roll up a hand towel and place behind my neck then lie on my back with it for ten minutes to help better the curvature in my neck. It’s a very relaxing exercise for me as by starting with knees bent and then straightening legs, it actually stretches the muscles the length of your body. Works better lying on the bed than a floor mat. Anyway- this pillow mimics that and I find it quite helpful. You really do need to take it slow at first- follow the instructions and you should be fine! Update: I know it’s only a short time later, but I am using this pillow only now and was able to get away from my older memory foam pillow completely. This is now the PERFECT pillow. I am tall in stature so purchased the full size. It’s very comfy as stated below. It is quite firm, but provides great relief and you get used to the firmness. Buy it and try it out - you have nothing to lose except for your pain. Love this pillow. I still get neck pain on and off so I switch between this pillow and my shredded foam pillow. I haven’t had this that long so maybe that’s why. However, I find that this pillow cradles my head and is so soothing and comforting for me. It supports my neck well without leaving me with a kink in my neck the next morning. I am comfortable with it no matter position I sleep in. Very happy with this purchase and glad I found it.

This is the best pillow for side sleepers. It's great for back sleepers, too. Many pillows advertise themselves as appropriate for side AND back sleepers. However, I think it is harder for side sleepers to find a supportive pillow. My experience is that a good side sleeper pillow works fine for back sleepers, but not necessarily vice versa. I'm a side sleeper and have tried the expensive ($150) pillows and the cheap ($20) pillows and everything in between and have a roomful of like-new pillows to show for it. This one is sufficiently high to hold the head level and properly support the neck. The indent in the middle is what helps to keep the head level and pressure off the ear. And you can turn it over and around to find the best fit for you as each side is slightly different. And the price of this one is very reasonable compared to some of the ridiculously-priced pillows (seriously, $150+ for a pillow??!). The pillow is firm but soft, which is what a side sleeper needs. Note that memory foam just doesn't work adequately for side sleepers as it "gives" too much to support the neck no matter how firm it supposedly is in my experience. And the shredded memory foam, which is generally advertised as "adjustable" so that you can fluff it as you like, also fails in my experience because it not only shifts when you want it to, but also shifts when you don't and results in waking with nothing supporting the neck and so a "bent" neck/head. This pillow fits in my standard case, but isn't washable per the instructions. I put a couple of pillow cases on to keep it clean. I will reorder this pillow if/when the current one needs replacement as this is now my go-to pillow. I took off one star, however, as the filling on this one also seems to shift a bit overnight. The manufacturer provides a video on how to move the filling back into place, but I find it somewhat difficult, esp. if arthritis is flaring in my fingers. Accordingly, it would be nice if the manufacturer would provide a zipper on the pillow in order to more easily redistribute the filling. I will note that I solved the problem my own way by folding a small hand towel and placing it between the bottom of the pillow and the pillowcase under the neck area. This way the pillow retains an appropriate height and I don't have to fuss with moving the filling around.

I am rating this pillow a 1 because I do not have options to give the rating it truly deserves a zero. At one time, around 2018 this company had the perfect pillow, different from this one and it was great, best pillow ever.. But every time I upgraded that perfect pillow the quality got lower and lower in terms of the foam until that became a useless pillow with even the firm having no support. I am desperate for a pilllow so I tried this "new design" pillow and a 1 rating is just too high. I caused pain in my neck because I need a lower pillow (low loft). So then I order the samer pillow and it was the same, immediate pain on trying it. It is nothing like the older pillow of yesteryear, you know even some chirorpactors carried it. This new pillow ships on a box folded in half. No matter what the instructions said or many times to smooth out the crease, well there is a crease in the middle which affects the support of the edge. The company is too cheap to even packaged the pillow properly. Glutten for punishment I tried it a couple of nights and the pain it caused was unbelievable. Pain relief is a totally false claim, immediate pain and trying it for a couple nights just to give it a chance, even more pain. I tried this size, the smaller size, it is simply too high and I need the lower loft pillow of yesteryear. At this point, Core Products who used to make a great product, but who quality in that product went significantly down through the years and then they came up with this new horrid design, well maybe it is time for them to go out of business. I talked to two representatives there, the first one was so dumb I ended up hanging up on her. But the second one understood completely saying she got a number of calls with people saying exactly what I was saying. Well Cord Products apparently do not care about what they customers say, well for me ex-customer as this new pillow caused immediate pain. Then I orderd the smaller size hoping it was a lower loft pillow, it was not, immediate pain. If you want pain in your neck, the perhaps this is the product for you. But if not, keep looking for a decent pillow at another company. And I can't find that pillow, not yet but I know I am done with this triffling company. Well maybe not if they brought back the older style pillow with quality foam. If you have a smaller frame and need a low loft pillow, this one is not for you.

It perfectly fulfills its purpose of providing support, firmness, and comfort. Excellent quality. I recommend it.

The best support pillow I have used. I would recommend it to anyone.👍🏻

Love love love the pillow. I had back fusion surgery and this is been extremely helpful and comfortable for me after.

works well, better than memory foam

It has taken 6 weeks to adjust to this pillow despite immediate neck pain relief, and occasionally I have reverted back to my feather pillow only to find it far less comfortable. For years I have had neck pain and often it has worsened after a night's sleep, with little ability to rotate my head. I do daily stretching and strengthening exercises and yet have not been able to make any headway despite also having physio on a regular basis. I am a side sleeper but do not find the ends of the pillow at all comfortable to sleep on as they are just too hard and too high, despite the manufacturers recommendation for side sleepers. Instead, I sleep on my side with my head in the center of the pillow and the side of the pillow with the smaller roll under my neck. I no longer wake up with neck pain. Also, I am using a king-sized pillowcase for this pillow (and it just fits) as my regular-sized ones are too small.

Very hard pillow had to return
