 Great to Sleep With |

I bought this for my special someone, and she loves it. She has regular back and neck pain, and had struggled in the past to find a good pillow.
She had used down, cotton, firm, soft, and even put a rolled towel in the bottom of the pillowcase to provide support, but not until she used this pillow did she truly find comfort.
So, people seem to like the Pro/Con breakdown; here's mine:
Pros:
- Comfortable support for your head and neck
- Good quality cover, and fits easily into current pillowcases
- Two different-sized "contours" (small/large) to fit any size neck
- Great weight for pillowfights
Cons:
- Only one pillow (too small to share comfortably)
- Makes current pillows seem weak, awkward, and generally lame
- Devastating to lamps during pillowfights
I would recommend buying two of these pillows - so far, only buying one has been my only regret.
*****Update - August, 2010*****
I've had this pillow for over 20 months at this point and it is still in great shape. The cover has not frayed or thinned, and the material is just as firm as it was when I bought it. I would rate the durability as excellent.
As a note, my beautiful wife bought me a similar memory foam pillow this past Christmas because she was so in love with hers, and tired of me trying to steal hers. She bought me the 4-pound model which works well for me. She is a more petite person than I, and finds her 3-pound pillow better for her smaller stature and smaller head. I like the additional support provided with the 4-pound pillow.
If you are an average, or above average-sized person, I would recommend going with one of the heftier pillows. The 3-pound version works great for petite individuals or kids, and I still prefer the lighter memory foam pillow over traditional feather or poly-blend pillows.

| I love this pillow and it seems to have helped with my neck problems. I sleep on my stomach and side and am still able to sleep comfortable with it. |

| I have arthritis and disk degeneration in my neck, as well as suffer from muscle spasms in my upper back and neck. This pillow gets the job done as far as giving me the proper support while sleeping in any position and I am no longer being awakened in my sleep with neck pain or bad headaches. I've been sleeping better and longer and am a much happier person since finding a pillow that works for me. I will definitely be ordering additional pillows for travelling and gifts. |

Find my original review below. This has taught me a lesson, wait weeks or months before posting a review
for home life products. This pillow broke down and turned into a misshapen lump within 2 weeks. It got worse and worse and finally after 4-5 weeks I threw it away. When I removed the THREE fitted covers I had on to keep it protected, and the pillowcase, I found that it had turned yellow and crumbly. My previous one was 3 years old and didn't look this way.
AVOID, AVOID, AVOID, AVOID~~!!!!
This was a great choice!
From day one my sleep improved. Neck, back and shoulders are in a great position for sleep.
I have a shoulder injury that bothers me at night..with this I do not need an addition small pillow to
rest my shoulder on.
Great design, very comfortable. I never want to be without one!

I had previously bought a foam style matress and found it offered a great deal of firm back support, which is what made me try this pillow for its neck support. Although as other reviewers have mentioned it is NOT a SERTA brand name pillow, it does do the job quite well and I've been very happy with it since day one.
There is a "thick" and a "thin" edge to the pillow to accommodate different body styles since the foam is so supportive. It does not collapse like a down pillow does. I have sleep apnea and it has made a measurable difference in my airway at night to the point that I travel with this in my baggage going to hotels and cruises for a good night's rest guaranteed.
As for potential cons,
My doctor had also tried the foam matresses and found that they were "hot" to him - I have not had that problem with my matress or pillow and think it is a factor of the cover you put over the matress/pillow. I chose a pair of 1000 thread pillowcases from amazon to go with this and have been satisfied with the combination.
Good night and good luck
