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

I am a 61-year old woman who has been struggling with neck and back pain for years. I just assumed it was part of getting older. Someone suggested I use a knee pillow - I tried it, but there was very little difference in pain levels. However, after using this pillow for just one week, I am waking up pain free - and I sleep much better! Finally! I highly recommend this pillow for back and neck alignment pain - it is truly a miracle in a pillowcase. However, I can see why some people might not like it - it is much stiffer than an average pillow, but it does have cushion; and according to the seller, it will adjust to your body over time- you just have to be patient. It is expensive, but for me, it was totally worth it to be pain free!

I bought this specifically to address neck pain I've been experiencing for a while. It took a few weeks but my neck feels much less stiff after sleeping on this pillow. Support is excellent, firm but not too firm. I think firmness is subjective but for me it's pretty much perfect. Slight give but doesn't allow my head to sink too far down. Also comfortable to side sleep on but I rarely do because of my shoulders. The only complaint I have is the price, it's ridiculously expensive for what it is but that seems to be all tempur-pedic products. If you have the money I say get it, if money is tight or you're debating I'd probably try something cheaper.

I've had neck discomfort sleeping for the last 3 years and have tried many pillows. I finally ordered the TEMPUR neck pillow recommended by my friend. She swears by it and and has used hers for many years. Based on my repeated measurements I ordered the medium size pillow. It wasn't comfortable, I returned it and ordered the smaller size. I should have paid more attention to the note...if in between sizes order smaller of the two. The smaller one fits just right, providing needed support to my neck and placing my head in a better position. It works for me both side and back sleeping so my nights are more restful. Before I got this I was switching pillows every time I moved from back to side sleeping at night. The pillow was very firm to start with. I followed suggestions I found online to break it in. I would stand on it and bend it a few times the first few days. Now it feels great. My friend was right, it is the only pillow I need.

I am a back sleeper, very still and never move all night. The pillow is small (side to side) but works for me. I have the SAME version of this pillow, but it is older. My older one feels more gooey/dough like and my neck almost instantly molds to the old pillow compressing it very little. The newer version does not react as quickly to compress the foam and the foam is stiffer and firmer, not gooey/dough like so my head does rest a bit higher on this new one. Old foam Vs new foam is a completely different foam. +++What I love about this pillow is the SHAPE of it. This is what provides relief for my neck. If you happen to look at any contour pillows, they all market them as having 2 sides you can use. A 3.5" and a 4.3" are the typical measurements for those contour bumps. BUT if you want to use the 3.5" side, the other higher side still keeps your head up too high pushing your chin into your neck. The center slope is not low enough either. I consider that a major design flaw that they used in a way to market it to more people, large or small. It does not work for smaller people. Temperpedic has designed these CORRECTLY so you pick your own size pillow!! Small, medium, or large. These are the sizes of the contour bump heights, NOT the size/width of the pillow! I LOVE the design of this pillow, it is perfect for me having only one smaller contour and the other end flat. My chin is NOT pushed into my neck. Just a bit too firm, but not skin numbing firm. Not sure if I will keep it or not just yet. For side sleeping, this pillow's shape works for me too. My shoulders are not broad and my mattress is extremely soft so my shoulders do sink more into my mattress so a high pillow is not required for me for side sleeping. Again though, the pillow is a bit too firm and does not mold to my head/neck nearly as much as my old original Tempurpedic pillow does. I may try to heat it with a hair dryer or put it in the dryer first to see if that does anything for it before using it next. I wished they offered this in different densities.

I had been waking up with a pinched nerve in the right side of my neck for a year now. It got to the point I could no longer sleep on my left side, or even roll over for 2 seconds without flaring the nerve. I was waking up with headaches every morning and even started getting numbness and tingling at the back of my head. This pillow has seemingly cured those issues, and I haven’t woken up in pain in two weeks. I sleep mostly on my sides but also on my back. Somehow this pillow works with me flopping around in any position. It did take about a week to get used to as its very firm. I can tell it’s softening a bit as I use it more. For me, it’s totally worth the price to wake up without feeling like I’ve been brain-damaged overnight. I will also add I got the travel neck pillow which should match the medium height of the full size, but it does not work for me at all. It’s not wide enough to support my head and I was left sleepless and in pain after a recent trip. The full size pillow is small enough I’ll just take that one wherever I go moving forward.

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.

I wanted to like this but for me it was too low in height and too hard. And I have owned Tempur-Pedic pillows before.

I ordered the "Standard" profile pillow first, and I found it to be too tall under my neck to tolerate. I returned it and purchased the "Small". My previous pillow was the Tempur-Pedic "small" profile, and I used it for more than a decade. The previous version was a softer, more-conformable version of the current pillow. I've used it nearly a month, and I have decided to keep it, although it is considerably less conformal that the original that I used for too long a time. It's far better than most pillows on the market today, though, so one can't be really fussy. Neck support is sufficient for most people, I would guess. The difference in pillow height between the Small and Standard profile is only half an inch, but it feels like at least an inch higher subjectively. The reason for the high number of returns, I suspect, is most people are ordering the "Standard" profile, and they find it too hard and rigid under their neck. The memory foam basis of the pillow simply isn't the same as what many of us "old" users are used to feeling. My advice to anyone reading this review is to make sure you try the "Small" profile. Tempur-Pedic would be doing us and Amazon a favor if they were to relabel the Small profile as the Standard profile. I'm about six-feel tall and I thought Standard would be just right. But I was wrong because of the current version of memory foam construction. Anyone shorter than that, I think, will find the Standard to be "Ginormous". Don't take Tempur-Pedic's sizing too seriously - small isn't too small for most people. The pillow is expensive, so choose carefully.

I’ve used this pillow for a few months now. It took a few nights to get used to but it’s really worthwhile. I used to sleep on feather pillows and it always gave me neck or shoulder ache. This pillow is very nicely supportive. It’s quite firm so you’ll need to get used to it. There are two neck heights! As a short, petite person, I use the side with the shorter neck height with no problem. I’m a mostly back and sometimes side sleeper. Sleeping on the side is a little bit awkward because your arm can’t really go under the pillow easily. But I don’t consider it a deal breaker.

A bit firm but great pillow!

Não recomendo para dormir de lado, devido a dureza machuca a orelha.

Souverain pour les cervicalgies, sous réserve d'avoir consulté au préalable. Le plus grand modèle est le plus confortable et efficace Privilégier la position sur le dos Sur le coté, prévoir un calage longitudinal type traversin.

I bought this as a replacement for the same Tempur Pedic neck pillow that I've been using for over 10 years. My old Tempur Pedic neck pillow was starting to feel less comfortable for me so I bought a new one. However, I had a guest who used my old neck pillow and had no complaints about it. I love this neck pillow so much that I try to bring it with me during trips (if possible). I prefer to use my own pillow when sleeping on hotels because the neck support that I get from this pillow makes a big difference in the quality of my sleep. I strongly recommend this product. However, the medium size may be too small for some people.
