Sleep Innovations Memory Foam Contour Pillow, Standard Size, Head, Neck, and Shoulder Alignment, Side and Back Sleepers, Medium Support

I've had this pillow for a little over a month now and I love it! Finally a relief from the neck and shoulder pain... First thing I noticed was the smell. But thanks to others' comments, I let it sit in my basement for 2 days and the smell is gone. I did remove the cover and wash it while the pillow was airing. Also put the pillow on a rack and turned it once a day to get the best airflow around it. Second thing was it was hard and cold when I first put my head on it. Well, this didn't feel promising! However, within just a few minutes the pillow had warmed to a comfortable temperature and had molded to my head and neck. Third was I slept the best I had in months and had no shoulder or neck pain the next morning. Hmm. Maybe we're on to something here... It's been several weeks now. The smell is gone - has been since I let it air. Every night I notice the hardness but am always comforted in the knowledge in a few seconds it will be perfect. I have also noticed that when I roll over or change position on the pillow, where ever I move my head, the pillow is already the right temperature to cradle head and neck comfortably. I tend to change sides and occasionally sleep on my back. With each change, the pillow is still comfortable. I have also noticed the pillow stays a comfortable temperature. Even when I am hot, it stays cool. But if I am cold, it is comfortably warm. It is magically a comfortable temperature. A note here - I do use a regular pillow case over its own cover - this so it matches my sheets. Also, I can change the regular case on a regular basis to keep things cleaner. No neck or shoulder pain since the first night. I've also noticed - sometimes I tend to sleep with my arms under my head under the pillow. The pillow conforms to the lumps of my hands and/or arms and remains very supportive and comfortable. Should I pull my arms out, the pillow quickly re-conforms to best support. I've also noticed that my arms/hands do not get too hot under the pillow. I live with the constant pain and uncomfortableness of Fibromyalgia. A good share of my pain is neck, upper back and shoulder, but the rest of my body joins in as well. With this pillow I have noticed a marked decrease in daily pain in those areas. And, with the more restful sleep, the rest of my pain and stiffness is much decreased. Amazing what a huge difference in my health and well-being! The one thing I've been wondering is why did I wait so long to buy this pillow? Well, no matter! I have it now and will never go back to a regular pillow again! I'm so stuck on this pillow that, with an out of town trip coming up soon, I've changed plans on luggage so I can take my pillow with me! Thank you to all of you that wrote informative reviews. They helped me decide on this pillow over several others. And, they were right. I am very pleased with this purchase!

I was very hesitant to buy a pillow online. I buy a lot of pillows; I keep 6 on my bed alone and like to have some in the guest room and living room too. The last pillow I bought I hand picked out at a major retailer. It felt good in my hands but was terrible to sleep on. Since I picked it up in person I was a bit scared to order one online. I had heard good things about `Sleep Innovations' and also read the great reviews prior to buying which made me feel more comfortable. I had a contour pillow about 15 some years ago so I was not expecting much from this pillow. I thought if it was not comfortable I at least had a new terry pillowcase which I justified by buying it. When I received it I was very happy with the packaging. It was well sealed in a plastic bag. You do not have to worry about warehouse hands literally handling it. I read about the odor but I did not have that issue. I did not use it for a few hours though since I received it in the morning. I did place another pillowcase over it to match my sheets. I will note the pillow is smaller than a standard pillow. I placed it on my bed and when my head first went down I thought I was going to have a hard time with it but within minutes I was so happy! My head formed a shape to the pillow and it was so comfortable! I primarily sleep on my side and stomach and it is a dream! The last few nights I have slept on it I do not want to get up it is so comfortable! For the price it is `priceless' when you get even one good nights sleep. I want to add I have a lot of back pain lately. I recently had a child and am still recovering from the c section and being a single parent I am lugging the high chair, play yard, car seat, baby, all of it which is an average of 20 lbs. if not more. I would wake up every morning with back pains. Since having the pillow my back pain has not been as high. I do contribute it to the pillow and my neck/spine. For the side and stomach sleepers this pillow is a must. I am so impressed and would highly recommend it.

I have been using contour pillows for 15 years. I bought my newest one to replace my prior Sleep Innovations contour memory foam pillow. Based on many reviews that I had read, I purchased both the Sleep Innovations cooling contour pillow and the regular contour pillow at the same time because I wanted to try out the cooling effect. I MUCH prefer the regular version over the cooling version. I ended up giving the cooling pillow to my husband and keeping the Sleep Innovations contour memory foam pillow. It is exactly like the regular contour pillow that I bought 5 years ago from Sleep Innovations. I was very pleased. There are a few differences between the regular and the cooling contour pillows. Cooling-wise, I can only tell a slight difference in temperature. The cooling version is not as firm as the regular version, so your head sinks lower with the cooling pillow. The cooling version had a stronger chemical smell which took longer to go away. For example, I aired out the cool contour pillow for a week before use, and it still had a slight odor when I started using it. I only had to air the regular contour pillow out for two days before use. The cool contour pillow looks as if someone simply cut a piece of blue foam and glued it to a piece of white memory foam. The right side of the pillow is higher than the left, which isn't noticeable when lying on it, but it makes it look like poorer quality. The size is perfect - same as a typical contour pillow, and the firmness was exactly the same as my old contour pillows - not too firm and not too soft. My head doesn't sink to the level of the mattress, as some said in their reviews. I feel as though my neck is at perfect alignment when I am using the pillow. I would recommend the pillow to others, and I will certainly keep buying them.

I am side and back sleeper. I replaced an older version of the sleep innovations contour pillow with this version. The newer version is denser then the old version and can feel hard as a rock, but when the pillow becomes warm from your body heat it softens up to provide a nice cushioned head rest. Here are the height measurements of my pillow when laying flat: 4" high on short end, 3" high in the lowest point, and 5" high on tallest end. I sleep on the short end of pillow. The pillow has a slight smell to it, but will go away if aired out for few days. I washed the zippered pillow case it came with and use a second pillow case to cover the pillow. In combination with my firm bed, pillow, and average body size ( 5' 10' male) I get a great night's sleep. Highly recommended for side and back sleepers. YMMV depending on combination of body size, bed type, and this pillow (if possible find it in a bed store and try it out).

Oreiller très confortable pour nuque et cervicales sensibles, à la bonne hauteur, et pas trop dur, ni trop soft, la densité de la mousse est bien équilibrée. Je recommande.

Llegó a tiempo, bien empaquetada Para mi fue muy fácil adaptarme a ella, cómoda, fresca, ya no amanezco con dolor de cuello o de cabeza que solía suceder con otras almohadas No es rígida se adapta a tu cabeza y cuello, la funda muy suave al tacto Sí la recomiendo!

THIS PILLOW IS A SOFT MEMORY FOAM PILLOW. This is my 2nd pillow and I love it. I only had the tag to identify it but with thanks to all the other comments I did get the exact replacement. Yes this is memory foam and there are firmer ones out there but this is not what I would call firm. When you push down on this pillow it bounces back; when you roll onto your side the pillow adjusts immediately. My first pillow lasted 5 years which is the length of the warranty but the price has gone up over 5 years. It has no funny smell at all. The first night I used this pillow I awoke without any neck pain at all. This is the best pillow and one side is higher so you can switch sides when the lower side gets worn. FOR OTHER MEMORY FOAMS PILLOWS: I have another memory pillow that is very firm there is no bounce back. The firm ones are so firm that it takes 5-10 seconds for your head to mold into the pillow. The firm ones are cold and if you roll onto your side the pillow will take another 5-10 seconds to settle.
