3.0 out of 5 stars Limited uses for pillow, March 20, 2009

The pillow is generally as advertised. It should be strongly advised to the consumer that this pillow cannot be used well on a bed without making some provision for breathing. A spacer of some sort is needed if this is not used on a massage table type device with a hole for breathing. The pillow cover does have velcro sewn into it, but it included no velcro to mate it with, so the pillow opening can widen and leave your face falling through. The pillow advertising just needs more information for the public.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can be used to sleep face-down, September 27, 2008

Due to eye surgery I needed to sleep face-down for a week. I looked at several face-down pillows as a possible solution. Most were not suitable due to the following 2 problems:

1) Not enough air flow so you can't breath all night
2) No forehead support

My solution came in 2 steps, as follows:

First - Buy the "Memory Face Cradle Pillow - Sherpa Covered Face Pillow by Core Products" (sold here on Amazon.com for $46.99)
This is the type of pillow that massage therapists use on their tables. The pillow supports your forehead and cheeks in very soft memory foam. The chin area is open so it's comfortable for extended periods of time.

Second - The height of this "Memory Face Cradle Pillow" is 3" so your mouth is very close to the mattress. In order to increase the air flow around the pillow, you need to raise the pillow up off of the bed about 2" by placing the pillow on a platform. So to make a platform, I went to my local home improvement store and bought one 6' long board that was 2" wide and 1" thick. (cost $4.13) I sawed the board into 3 pieces to form a U shape and then sawed four 2" pieces for the legs of my platform. I nailed these pieces together and the end result was a little wood platform to sit my "Memory Face Cradle" pillow on top of. Now, because the pillow is resting on top of this platform and not directly on the mattress, there is airflow all around the pillow. Without this platform, the foam pillow will squash down as you sleep so your mouth will be right on the mattress. The only way to ensure air flow is to build the wood platform and sit the pillow on top of this platform.

I am so glad I got this for Christmas! I suffer from chronic neck pain due to a series of car accidents, so my husband often gives me massages at night to help ease the pain. I hated trying to position pillows "just right" so I could breath while facing down because it never worked and I couldn't relax all the way because I was so concerned with breathing. Now that I have this, I can breath while faced down, relax, and enjoy my massage. (Oh, it's so wonderful!) The reason I didn't give this product five stars is I do have to agree with a previous reviewer that the memory foam collapses so your face almost touches the ground (so it gets hard to breath after a while), but what I do is roll a towel to put under it so my face is still raised even if the foam squishes down. Bottom line: if you are a person who wants to breath while getting back or neck massages while faced down, this pillow is for you! (And you can't beat the price compared to buying an entire massage table so you can get a face opening!)
