Lately I've been waking myself up at night with a single snore, and have also been waking up with a stiff neck. So I thought I would give this pillow a try.

I will say that my neck has not been stiff since I started using it, and I haven't woken myself up at night.

But the one big problem I have is that this is a heavy pillow. I am a "bed gypsy", and I frequently travel all over the bed while I am asleep.

Normally, dragging my old pillow around was not a problem, but this thing is so heavy that it wakes me up trying to move it.

Also, it retains a lot of heat. I like a cooler pillow when I sleep, and this thing really generates the heat back on you.

Overall I like it, but it will take me some time to get used to it.

I am more than pleased with this pillow! I sought out a solution to the sleep apnea that I was experiencing. I was waking up several times a night, snoring quite a lot, and waking up each morning tired with dark circles under my eyes. Also,I frequently woke up with neck pain and headaches. After reviewing the many pillows available at Amazon, I finally decided on this pillow. I was hoping that the money would be well spent. I was especially hoping to rid my self of the sleep apnea. My husband was concerned about it. After doing some reading about the dangers of this condition,so was I. This pillow has eliminated my sleep apnea, the tiredness, dark circles, neck pain and headaches. Additionally, it has greatly reduced my snoring. I had forgotten what a restful night's sleep was like. I cannot say enough good things about the Splintek SleepRight Side Sleeping Pillow. Don't be afraid to spend the money for it.

I have arthritis of the neck and have been searching for the perfect pillow for 20 years. I love this pillow, but as the included insert warns, you can't judge this pillow after one night. It took 3 nights for me to adapt to its unique shape but now I can't imagine ever using another pillow. Those two-humped contour pillows don't make sense, and some of them are too hard. My neck has never felt better and I am simply more comfortable in bed.

This pillow does place my head, neck, and upper spine in a positive position. It does allow me to turn and sleep on my side while providing appropriate alignment through support. If I needed heat for my neck, it would be ideal. But, my nerve involvement, in the cervical vertebrae area, requires continuous cooling. The memory foam, which was developed for the astronauts with a need to stay warm, creates intolerable heat for me. I much prefer using the Chillow water cooled pillow over a pillow with a built in, small but firm, roll-type cervical support.

I got this pillow mainly for snoring... Not that I believe I snore, but that is what I have been told... I was also told that this pillow didn't really help too much with that... I could still be heard, but not as much as before, so I guess that is good, if the snoring is even really true... LOL... BUT.... I have tried many pillows, memory foam included, but they were hard and seemingly flat. They didn't form to one's head like they were supposed to, I guess they just needed some help. This pillow has premolded properties that cradle your head and support your neck and have a groove for your shoulder (see pic) I didn't need to get used to it at all, I think I read in one of the reviews that it was a bit firm and one had to get used to it. I thought it was wondefully comfortable and I wake up now with NO stiff neck, NO headache! Amazing! I think I am on the size boarder for the 3 in thick and the 4 in thick, I am 5' 9" almost 5'10" and the 4 in fits great from my where my shoulder is on the bed to where my neck hits the pillow.

I was really hoping this pillow would do the trick, helping me sleep on my side and keeping me cool. It did neither. Especially disappointing was how hot I got sleeping with this pillow. It reflects body heat, it doesn't channel it. Buyer beware- you cannot return this item to Amazon or the company that sells it through them because they consider it a "personally used item". That sucks because if you buy a pillow at a store, they let you return it, no questions asked.

This pillow is advertised for people "5'5" or taller". When I recieved the box there was a flyer included that stated one should purchase a "large" size if taller than 5'10" (I'm almost 6'). My complaint is that the company's website and Amazon makes no mention of a larger size. This pillow is actually designated as "medium".

Now I have a $100 pillow I cannot return and it is too thin which actually creates neck pain instead of relieving it!

I am a side sleeper with herniated disks in my neck. So, more often than not, I wake up each morning with a headache. I've tried the foam pillows in the past, and they didn't work for me. For the last 10 years I've used a buckwheat husk pillow, which worked pretty good, but still often woke with a headache. After researching pillows on the internet, this pillow caught my interest, so I ordered one to try it out. It was the best purchase of my life. I am amazed how well I sleep and best of all no longer wake with a headache. If you have any neck problems and have trouble finding a comfortable pillow, this is the one for you.

I got this pillow due to neck pain I was experiencing and the fact that after I had disc problems in my lower back I now sleep exclusively on my side. However, the shape of the pillow is complex and the line of foam designed to support your neck seems overly rigid. Unless you know that you don't move during sleep and awake in the exact position you went to bed in, I don't recommend this pillow. The line of foam designed to support your neck on the side becomes very uncomfortable if you happen to roll onto your back.

The product certainly came as promised and has no structural issues. It's just that the design is so rigid and unique that you need to sleep in such a way to get the benefit. Two months later w/ no improvement (and perhaps some worsening) I went to Target and got a generic $30 memory foam pillow and now just a week later all my aches and pains are gone.

I bought this for my wife, a side sleeper, who suffered with a great deal of pain in her shoulders. After using this for just one night her symptoms disappeared and have not returned. I may get one for myself as well. Highly recommended!
