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

This pillow is probably not for everyone, but I love it. It does support my neck as advertised, neck hasn’t been sore or stiff since I’ve started using the pillow.

New Update: It’s now been almost 6 months and I cannot do without this pillow! I now sleep solely with this pillow. I see a chiropractor for some skeletal issues. He has me roll up a hand towel and place behind my neck then lie on my back with it for ten minutes to help better the curvature in my neck. It’s a very relaxing exercise for me as by starting with knees bent and then straightening legs, it actually stretches the muscles the length of your body. Works better lying on the bed than a floor mat. Anyway- this pillow mimics that and I find it quite helpful. You really do need to take it slow at first- follow the instructions and you should be fine! Update: I know it’s only a short time later, but I am using this pillow only now and was able to get away from my older memory foam pillow completely. This is now the PERFECT pillow. I am tall in stature so purchased the full size. It’s very comfy as stated below. It is quite firm, but provides great relief and you get used to the firmness. Buy it and try it out - you have nothing to lose except for your pain. Love this pillow. I still get neck pain on and off so I switch between this pillow and my shredded foam pillow. I haven’t had this that long so maybe that’s why. However, I find that this pillow cradles my head and is so soothing and comforting for me. It supports my neck well without leaving me with a kink in my neck the next morning. I am comfortable with it no matter position I sleep in. Very happy with this purchase and glad I found it.

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.

It perfectly fulfills its purpose of providing support, firmness, and comfort. Excellent quality. I recommend it.

I have some long suffering neck issues (osteoarthritis, pinched nerves, loss of normal cervical curve) and my chiropractor suggested that I ditch my contour/memory foam pillow and buy a D-Core pillow instead. I looked at several options and based on the mostly good reviews on this one, decided to give it a try. Unfortunately it was a major disappointment. First I tried to use the narrower side for neck support while sleeping on my back, but it is too flat and soft to offer any benefit. In fact, I was able to feel an air space between the back of my neck and the top of the pillow! I attempted to move around some of the inner stuffing to build up the neck roll area but it was of no use...its just too thin and flimsy to offer any true support. Next I flipped the pillow over and tried using the thicker neck support to see if that worked. Unfortunately this side is too wide to allow my head to fall back into the 'core', so my neck and head are kept at the same height, which defeats the purpose (might as well use a regular pillow). When I occasionally rolled out of the 'core' and on to the side for side sleeping during the night, the firm sides of the pillow were like sleeping on a stack of folded towels....no give, too firm, and a lumpy to boot! As bad as this pillow was for back sleeping, it was 10 times worse for side sleeping. I wish I would have kept this pillow in the plastic bag so I could return it but now its too late... add this pillow to the heap of gimmicks that didn't work.

The best support pillow I have used. I would recommend it to anyone.👍🏻

Love love love the pillow. I had back fusion surgery and this is been extremely helpful and comfortable for me after.

works well, better than memory foam

It has taken 6 weeks to adjust to this pillow despite immediate neck pain relief, and occasionally I have reverted back to my feather pillow only to find it far less comfortable. For years I have had neck pain and often it has worsened after a night's sleep, with little ability to rotate my head. I do daily stretching and strengthening exercises and yet have not been able to make any headway despite also having physio on a regular basis. I am a side sleeper but do not find the ends of the pillow at all comfortable to sleep on as they are just too hard and too high, despite the manufacturers recommendation for side sleepers. Instead, I sleep on my side with my head in the center of the pillow and the side of the pillow with the smaller roll under my neck. I no longer wake up with neck pain. Also, I am using a king-sized pillowcase for this pillow (and it just fits) as my regular-sized ones are too small.

Very hard pillow had to return
