Tempur-Pedic All-Purpose Memory Foam Travel Pillow, Peanut-Shaped Lumbar Pillow for Neck and Back Pressure Relief, Navy

I usually try to pack minimally, but I took this peanut pillow along with a cheap $12 blow up/foam lumbar pillow on my last trip to New Zealand. The lumbar one was great for my back on the domestic flight legs, and this Tempur-Pedic peanut pillow was great for my head/neck. It also works well for your back. It is firm, but once you lay on it for a few mins your head conforms to it. I also used this pillow at my Airbnbs and hotels for extra neck support. The soft, velvety case zips off and is washable, but it collects lint big time. I plan to use this camping and on future trips. It’s big-ish if you don’t like to pack much, but worth it for the comfort!

Even though this is made by Tempur-Pedic, I wasn’t expecting this pillow to be THIS good! It has the classic “Tempur-Pedic” feel, which I would rate it as a medium firm, and the zip off navy blue cover has a soft, velvety feel, so it looks more high end than typical orthopedic pillows. I think this would be helpful to use between the knees, or as a lumbar support, but I’m using this as a cervical support, so my review is focused on this purpose.For reference, I have cervical disc degeneration (spondylitis and stenosis, with herniated discs and bone spurs pressing on peripheral nerves), and have suffered from chronic Trigeminal Neuralgia (often referred to as the “suicide headache” because of its intensity), migraines, and radiculopathy pain/tingling/numbness in hands and arms, as a result of my cervical issues. I’m disabled and in constant pain, and cannot hold my head upright for more than 20-30 minutes without the nerve pain becoming much more intense. I have to wear a neck brace if I’m driving, prepping meals or folding laundry, etc. So, using right pillow has been critical for my health and well-being.My old memory foam neck pillow (not sure of the brand) had finally lost its ability to hold shape after 15 or so years. I have a Tempur-Pedic adjustable bed, and absolutely love how it feels, so that’s was willing to give this one a try. And even though other memory foam pillows were less expensive, from my experience, memory foam isn’t a one-size-fits all product— it can be softer, or firmer, depending on the type or the manufacturer, and some kinds of foam have terrible off-gassing odors, or tend to flatten after a short time. This is the 11th or 12th memory foam pillow I’ve purchased in the last 20 years to help with my neck, so I figured this time, I’d rather spend a little more on a Tempur-Pedic brand product, and “buy it once, buy it right.”This is definitely the “goooooood” kind of memory foam! It’s incredibly supportive, but still soft to the touch. And for those who say it’s too firm or too hard— I suggest that when you receive a memory foam product in the mail, you should always allow several hours for the item to acclimate to the temperature of the room (or in this case, perhaps you could try sitting on it for 20-30 minutes) before deciding that the product is too firm. And give the pillow a chance to adjust to the warmth of your body, as well. Temperature makes a huge difference!Since I ordered this in the winter, after initially opening the package, the pillow did feel quite firm (almost as firm as a tennis ball), but within an hour or so, it felt perfect! I was able to sleep all night long with just this pillow providing cervical support (for reference, I am a 5’8” average sized woman), without even using my regular contoured (not Tempur-Pedic) memory foam pillow. It was heaven! I’ve never been able to sleep at night just using a cervical pillow, so I’m blown away!The peanut shape allows for so much flexibility of use— I can nest my neck in the “dip” of the center, or can shift it so that the larger end of the pillow presses against the base of my skull, which feels incredible! It’s comfortable in both a supine and side lying positions, and since I’ll be using it while sleeping on my side, I decided to tuck it into a pillowcase during nighttime use, just so I won’t need to worry about removing zip off cover to wash it quite as often. While reclining and reading in bed, I can pair it with my regular memory foam pillow, so it’s nice to have something that provides this much support and flexibility of use. Since receiving it, I have been using it while relaxing on the couch, while in bed, everywhere I can! I wish I just could walk around with it all day long- it feels THAT good! I’ll update my review if anything changes, or if the pillow doesn’t seem to hold up over time.I paid full price for this product, and have not received any compensation or other consideration for this review. I find reviews to be incredibly helpful to me when our items online, so that’s why I like to take a moment to write reviews for products I purchase. I hope you have found this review to be helpful!TL;DR— This pillow provides the PERFECT support, the zip off cover is luxurious and washable, and the hanging loop will be handy for travel. It’s a Tempur-Pedic, so you can’t go wrong!

Great little peanut pillow. Squishy but great support for between the knees when side sleeping. Also great under the neck as a pillow

I have enjoyed using the peanut shaped pillow for my lower back. It's the right size for just enough support. I forget about it sometimes when I can setting in my rocking swivel chair. It not too firm or soft, just right.

This peanut pillow is perfect in every way! It is just the right size, not too big, not too small. It provides exactly the right amount of support for my neck. The cover is soft and comfortable on my skin. I bought it to use at the dentist as the chair hurts my neck but I use it every day at home too. It is a little expensive but is well made and worth every penny that I paid for it. I love this little pillow!

It seems really well made & perfect for travel, but it was just too big around for my neck. I'm a slight-framed woman, 5'5". Wish it came in a smaller diameter.

Marvelous neck pillow. The memory foam is the thing that makes this pillow so unique. Neck support is just right, with it never feeling like a hard lump.

If you suffer from chronic neck pain, this pillow is the miracle cure. Prior to owning this pillow, I suffered from chronic neck pain and frequent headaches. The pain was so bad I would try anything to relieve it. I tried everything.... different pillows, heating pads, ice, rubs and creams, Tylenol, Advil, acupuncture, and chiropractors. Nothing seemed to work until I discovered this pillow from Tempur-Pedic.Used by itself or in conjunction with another pillow, this pillow is an answer to years of suffering. I tuck it between my head and shoulders when I sleep on my side or behind my neck when I sleep on my back. You will feel the relief right away. All the pressure and pain is instantly gone. I have owned mine since it was originally released by Tempur-pedic. I have not been back to a chiropractor since. I sleep better, the neck pain is gone, and I rarely have headaches.My only suggestion to Tempur-pedic is to offer replacement covers/pillow cases for this pillow. I wash the cover and the zipper has worn out. Minor issue compared to the endless relief the pillow has provided for me. This pillow is the perfect application for Memory foam.THANK YOU Tempur-pedic for making this pillow and THANK YOU AMAZON for selling it on your site!!!
