Core Products D-Core Cervical Neck Pillow - Extra Firm Orthopedic Support for Neck Discomfort, Back Sleepers, Dual Neck Rolls, Cervical Alignment, Full Size, Assembled in USA

I used these pillows for years, but for whatever reason, the last year or two I slept on basic serta pillows. I've noticed some jaw-locking problems in the morning so I switched back to this one. Not only has it helped a lot with my jaw, but I have noticed a considerable reduction in the "I look at my phone too much" neck hump and double chin! I noticed on regular pillows, if I sleep on my back, my chin would tuck into my neck. This pillow corrects that neck position, and has reduced that unflattering side effect. I will say, give it time. The first few nights are uncomfortable, but if you stick it out, I think it does improve sleep and posture.

Wonderful and helpful. My neck feels so much better since I've been using this pillow. Bravo!

This is the best pillow for side sleepers. It's great for back sleepers, too. Many pillows advertise themselves as appropriate for side AND back sleepers. However, I think it is harder for side sleepers to find a supportive pillow. My experience is that a good side sleeper pillow works fine for back sleepers, but not necessarily vice versa. I'm a side sleeper and have tried the expensive ($150) pillows and the cheap ($20) pillows and everything in between and have a roomful of like-new pillows to show for it. This one is sufficiently high to hold the head level and properly support the neck. The indent in the middle is what helps to keep the head level and pressure off the ear. And you can turn it over and around to find the best fit for you as each side is slightly different. And the price of this one is very reasonable compared to some of the ridiculously-priced pillows (seriously, $150+ for a pillow??!). The pillow is firm but soft, which is what a side sleeper needs. Note that memory foam just doesn't work adequately for side sleepers as it "gives" too much to support the neck no matter how firm it supposedly is in my experience. And the shredded memory foam, which is generally advertised as "adjustable" so that you can fluff it as you like, also fails in my experience because it not only shifts when you want it to, but also shifts when you don't and results in waking with nothing supporting the neck and so a "bent" neck/head. This pillow fits in my standard case, but isn't washable per the instructions. I put a couple of pillow cases on to keep it clean. I will reorder this pillow if/when the current one needs replacement as this is now my go-to pillow. I took off one star, however, as the filling on this one also seems to shift a bit overnight. The manufacturer provides a video on how to move the filling back into place, but I find it somewhat difficult, esp. if arthritis is flaring in my fingers. Accordingly, it would be nice if the manufacturer would provide a zipper on the pillow in order to more easily redistribute the filling. I will note that I solved the problem my own way by folding a small hand towel and placing it between the bottom of the pillow and the pillowcase under the neck area. This way the pillow retains an appropriate height and I don't have to fuss with moving the filling around.

If you have any kind of back/shoulder/neck pain, you need to buy this pillow. That's all there is to it.Here's my story: I'm a 30-something woman with a history of back problems. I'm also a troubled sleeper and suffer from horrible insomnia. All the pain/sleep issues quadrupled two years ago following a terrible car accident. On top of all that, I was recently diagnosed with degenerative disc disease in my neck. Basically, I am a total mess. And I have spent hundreds...actually, at this point more like THOUSANDS of dollars on pillows over the years. I have tried every single pillow you can buy, from traditional down-filled pillows to memory foam pillows, including brand-name pillows from companies like Tempurpedic and Technogel that cost close to $200 each. And nothing worked for me.Then my friend told me about this D-Core pillow that basically has a hole in the middle of it, which she bought on Amazon for like $30. I basically laughed in her face. But I decided to buy the pillow anyway, and add it to my pile of cast-offs.When the pillow arrived, I was horrified. It looks EXTREMELY uncomfortable. No other contoured neck pillow had ever worked for me, but I gave the D-Core a try. It's been almost two months and I have never looked back. This has improved my sleep AND eliminated my pain by 95%, which is a miracle. I have stopped physical therapy, I have stopped getting regular massages, and I have stopped taking prescription pain meds because this pillow alone has helped me so much. Not only do I sleep better, and experience little to no pain at night, but this has helped me be virtually pain-free all day as well. Truly, I am still in shock over how awesome it is. AND IT IS ONLY $30!!!!D-Core pillow people, if you are reading this, I FREAKING LOVE YOU!!!! Your product has helped me so much, and I am forever grateful to you for designing it! To the consumers out there contemplating buying this pillow, I am telling you, it will be the best $30 you ever spend. You can't put a price on good, pain-free sleep. Prepare to be amazed!!!!!!

I was so excited to get this pillow as it was recommended by my chiropractor but I think it might be the wrong size for me because it's extremely uncomfortable and I've ended up throwing it in the middle of the night because it just doesn't work. I'm 5'6" so I got the bigger size, but I'm wondering if maybe I should have bought the smaller one? I don't want to waste my money again, so not sure if I'll try it out, but so far, not happy with this purchase. I would try it out if you can before buying because now that I've opened it and used it I'm pretty sure I can't return.

Nice concept, but the area where you should place your neck doesn't offer enough support for me. As a side sleeper there's a gap between my neck and the height of the pillow

helps my neck and shoulder pain while side sleeping ,I have had shoulder surgery with this pillow I can sleep comfortably.

My husband likes this type of pillow. They seem durable and the height is good. The only draw back is they are very expensive for the pillow.
