Better sleep, better mornings, but takes some getting used to
I purchased this after spending 3 or 4 months waking up with an incredibly sore and stiff neck. I tried different pillows, etc. and even slept on several different beds during this time (hotels, etc). I figured this was an affordable enough college try before I started getting experts involved. I have been sleeping with it for a month now and here are my findings. For reference, I'm a 45 y/o, 6'1" male, weigh 225lbs, and sleep on my side. PROS: - The pain is gone. Immediately (morning 1). Every time I sleep with this, I wake up pain-free. Not exaggerating. - I sleep very, very deeply with this. Been tracking my sleep via an app on my Apple Watch for years, and my average sleep "score" went from 87 to 94. My partner confirms I do not move around practically at all while I sleep now. - It's very comfortable. Took a few days to figure out where/how to move the filling around to get what I wanted, but it's perfect now. I live in a hot & humid climate, and run hot to begin with, so cooling is important, and the cool model does indeed keep me cool. - It is easy to wash and take care of and seems well-constructed CONS: - Not exactly something you are going to travel with regularly - Not ideal for relaxing in bed. I removed my normal pillows (and you might have to as well) and this won't suffice for sitting up in bed comfortably - Still not sure what to do with it when I make the bed (I pull my old pillows out, and hide this in my closet.). I need a better solution. :) - Can be a little awkward to get repositioned or back into bed if you wake up in the middle of the night, especially if you are trying not to wake up someone next to you. You get better at it, but it's still a bit of "flopping" around. - I wish it was just a tad longer (I got the XL cool version). Even when I use the very end for my head, it doesn't quite reach my ankles (again, I'm 6'1"). Another foot of length would be ideal. So, on paper it would appear that there are a lot of "cons" but there is that one key "pro"... The pain is gone. How much inconvenience you are willing to put up with to help with that is going to be the question you have to ask before purchasing this. For me, the tradeoff isn't even a question, as I sleep so much better now (at least when I'm in my own bed).
