Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Ergo Neck Pillow, Medium Profile, White

I had one of these Tempur-Pedic pillows around 20-years ago and liked it, but switched to down pillows for some reason, and have been through many other types of pillows over the years. I have been waking up with neck pain and headaches for a long time. While the pillows I have feel comfortable when I go to sleep, they are not supportive while I sleep! Trying to save a few bucks, I ordered some other funky off-brand ergo pillow here, and it did not work for me. I ordered the medium Tempur-Pedic neck pillow, and it has done the trick! Neck is supported. No pain, no headaches. It just takes a minute or two when getting ready to sleep to get situated. I expect I will get that figured out. I'm just happy to wake up without my neck in knots!Before purchasing, I read many, many reviews. I saw a number of people complain that this pillow is "small". When you put it next to a standard pillow, yes, it is! But really, how much pillow does your head need? This pillow has plenty of room to lay on your back and turn side to side. I also saw people complaining about not being able to fit a regular pillowcase on it. Why? It has a comfortable washable, removable case. If it doesn't fit your decor, throw it in a closet during the day. Also yes, it is firm. But that is the point. The comfy mushy pillows won't support your neck.I highly recommend this pillow vs. the knockoffs. It keeps your neck more stable and supported while you sleep.

Pillow is indeed too hard on the first day or two, but softens after using it a couple days. To me, it now feels like a normal pillow that is just slightly firm, to a comfortable degree. I bought the size medium correctly following the measurement chart (6 in) but I would go for large next time. The pillow is relatively thin. The thinness makes me want to put my arm under the pillow to add height, as I sleep on my side.There are very few reputable brand options for this shape of pillow. In my opinion, the reviews for this are too negative. This is a valid option worth considering, especially considering most other pillows in this shape are cheap and not from established brands. I will give 5 stars to compensate, but my actual rating would be a 4.5.I would guess the negative reviews are from people upset at the firmness in the first few nights, and not waiting for it to soften up. I will add, the full price is a bit expensive for what this is. At the thirty or so percent off I got it, I consider it a good purchase. But at full price, generic pillows are also a valid option, especially considering you ought to be replacing your pillow every so often.

Very firm, gets uncomfortableafter some time. It's been 2 years and it doesn't get softer.

I purchased this pillow a month and 10 days ago.The pillow isn't really comfy, but it says it's good for your neck so I figured will be some "getting used to" period, but month later still going through it.A month into it I decided to wash the outside cover and notice some black specs in between the sealed protective case and the foam, so I when to Amazon exchange/return and was directed to Tempur-Pedic website and 888 number, which I did.After days of emails back and forth they told me that because I purchased it from Amazon I have to get in touch with Amazon, and because Amazon is third party ( which I made sure to purchase from Tempur-Pedic store on Amazon) the 5 year warranty is voided.So now this emailing back and forth put me out of my exchange/return period and Amazon "can't do anything for me".This purchase left me very frustrated, disappointed and very confused as I did as directed. The misinformation about this store and their products is at every step of the way.It feel like when you tried to do something good for yourself ( "healthy/quality" pillow at a high price), you are been taking advantage of.

If you want your spine aligned when you are in bed, THIS is the pillow. Get the size of the cervical pillow you need. It makes a difference! While on your back, your nose should be pointed at the ceiling above your head, not at the seam of the ceiling and wall across the room. Your airways should be open.We bought our original Temperpedic pillows at a Home Show at least 20 years ago. I recently noticed it was as uncomfortable, especially while on my side. Guess what...they were getting flat.I started testing memory foam pillows. Every single one was returned. Most of them were too high in the cervical area...you'd need to be 6'3" or taller to have the bolster be that high!I've ordered 2 of these, Large for hubby, Medium for me. Mine has arrived, and he loves it. Considers it the best of all the pillows we've tried. Today I realized it is my pillow. I just slept on it...so much better than what I was using, with which I wake up with back pain every morning. No pain today!Ergo Temperpedics are great for side sleeping and for back sleeping. It is a standard sized pillow (20" long) not a queen (26" long).Differences from the original pillow: no indent for your neck, not as long (above), lighter weight, not reliant on your body heat to soften. Formulations have improved in 20 years!I do wish it was longer, but that would increase the cost. Even at 20" sleeping on my side was as easy as rolling over. :-D

Smaller and less firm than expected.Don't anticipate it will be supportive as I anticipated for nearly $100.

The pain in my neck and shoulders is gone. I purchased the medium sized pillow and though somewhat small still works perfectly. Cannot say enough about the durability and and comfort.
