Nature's Guest Adjustable Contour Pillow for Sleeping, Better Than Memory Foam Pillow for Neck and Shoulder Pain, Ergonomic Orthopedic Bed Pillow, Cervical Support Pillow for Back and Side Sleepers

UPDATE 3/17/2020: After many nights of sleeping on this, I have one big complaint: It needs to be taller. I have taken a very thin pillow (about 1.5-2" tall) and placed it underneath this one, and it works well enough for me, but for a normal-sized adult (I'm 5'10"/160lbs), there needs to be a bit more support, which means a taller pillow. Downgrading to three stars.I have searched high and low for years for the perfect pillow-- I've tried water pillows (Medi-flow), which start out great, but soon the cotton loses its fluffiness and can't be replaced. Also, they are extremely heavy and make sloshing sounds when laying your head on them. I've tried all of the Novon bedding pillows--they have a bunch of unique ones, but the fabric they are made out of is very loud and doesn't let me fall asleep. I've tried Coop pillow, which didn't have compartments that allow you to put more or less support near the neck, which ultimately caused midnight awakenings to flip the pillow 180 degrees every night (the support under my neck would compress and collapse, causing pain and an odd neck angle.This pillow by Nature's Guest, though, hits all the marks! I never thought I'd say that either. I was starting to lose hope! The fabric is very nice and soft, the zipper is high-quality, and the filling is like clouds! They also separate the pillow vertically into three compartments, with the sections on either side slightly different sizes in case someone has a longer neck. I use the smaller side for my neck and it fits perfectly (I'm 5'10"/160lb male).Here is what I did:I bought some soft, shredded memory foam (Coop sells a bag of this on Amazon, and even though it's expensive, it's high quality). I removed all the cotton fluff that comes in the Nature's Guest pillow from the middle and smaller side compartments, leaving the fluff in the larger side compartment because I knew I will never be using that side to sleep on. Then, I gradually put the Coop memory foam into the middle section of the pillow, but left it only like half full. I then filled the smaller side compartment with the Coop foam with about DOUBLE the density as the middle section. Then, I took small handfulls of the cotton fluff and laid it on top of and on the bottom of all the memory foam. The memory foam can be kind of lumpy when you first lay on it, and doing this makes the top layer nice and soft without adding much loft or resistance. I packed the sides (near and opposite the zipper) nice and full, which helps keep my head centered as I roll around throughout the night, and then I zipped it up and placed in a nice soft pillowcase.Ta-da! The PERFECT pillow! If you feel like you just can't get it right with other pillows, do yourself a favor and give this method a try!

I got this pillow weeks ago and I was planning to wait before writing a review but I just could not deny the past weeks have been the best night sleep I've had in years. If you are struggling with frequent headaches and neck/shoulder stiffness and pain and you toss and turn all night, you need this pillow. If you are like me, you have purchased countless orthopedic neck pillows over the years, always seeking relief but never getting it.Memory foam pillows are too firm for me and create pressure points that trigger headaches. I've tried the "butterfly" style pillows and though comfortable at first, they always cause pain or headaches midway through the night.THIS PILLOW is everything the others are not. It is on the firm side, but the complete adjustability of each section of the pillow really make it so you can find the perfect set up for YOU.I'm five foot one and don't have a long neck or large frame so I did not find the pillow to be too thin, as some others have suggested. I think this pillow is the answer for my migraines and neck pain and I will not spend another penny on those other "neck pillows" ever again. I have bought one for both my Mom and my husband since my initial purchase. I can't say enough about this pillow!!

I have had neck and shoulder pain for years not knowing that it was coming from my pillow.. 3 years ago I got a my pillow as a gift, shortly after I started using it I would wake up with a stiff neck. I had been working hard at work and thought that was why my neck was stiff. Time went by and the stiff neck turned into a sore neck and shoulder, nothing would take it away. I even went to a pain management Dr. He took X-rays and they showed that I had 2 herniated disk. He gave me shots to relieve the pain witch was only temporary. I started searching on the net for help and found a Dr. that was talking about the right kind of pillow that would offer the proper loft to keep your spine aligned while you sleep to relieve pressure on your neck. I went on Amazon and found this pillow. I was at the end of my rope with the pain. I thought what do I have to lose. I bought this pillow as a I hope this will help, not knowing that this pillow would do the trick. This pillow after only one night has taken away 99% of the pain, and I continue to stay 99% pain free. This pillow is a GOD send.

My daughter is a big fan of the original Nature's Guest pillow, but I could never get it to work for me, as the center depression is too deep & I'm almost exclusively a side sleeper. This new pillow has shallower channels to form the contour section, which looked better for my neck. I was still skeptical, though, as I've tried out way too many pillows in the last year. I've lost the curve in my neck (cervical lordosis), so I'm always on the hunt for a pillow to help minimize discomfort when sleeping.This pillow comes overstuffed & I took out almost enough fill to make a small travel pillow. It was very firm at first & now feels medium-firm, which I wanted. I followed the pictorial above for a side sleeper & removed more fill from the upper & center channels. I added some back to the side segments, to make it cozier for my face. The construction is very high quality & having zippers on each side is great, along with little fabric flaps so the stuffing doesn't get caught in the zipper. The fill seems identical to what is in the original pillow (e.g. wood pulp based microfiber). The cover is softer, but made of synthetic materials, I think, so it's a trade-off.It took a day or two to get the optimal adjustments, but now it's fantastic. I'm sleeping through the night better & waking up in basically the same spot, so it's minimizing tossing & turning. I have less neck discomfort when waking. It doesn't sleep overly hot or cool to me & feels temperature neutral. I'll update this review as time goes on, because longevity is an important consideration & I've had many pillows start out comfortable, then become less so.

Perfect

Being able to rearrange the fill until it's just right to keep my neck aligned, and having it soft enough to pull the corner down to support support my chin has been great. If am having a rough time getting comfortable on a particular night it feels good to have something I can actually adjust to make it better.As an extra bonus, my CPAP mask (P10) ends up between the channels and doesn't get blocked in that way that blows air in my face. Definitely worth it.

One night of using it and my nect pain was gone. It has been 8 months and still no problems. Recommend it

Absolutely love my new pillow. Was very hesitant to buy online without trying it first. Used to wake up with bad neck pain every morning. I’m a side sleeper; 2 nights in and I feel so much better already! It’s adjustable too which is great too.

Having a much better sleep
