Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've tried so many pillows that I've lost count. After a while I began to feel like Goldilocks. This pillow is too flat, this one too hard, this one mashes my ear, another is too heavy & that one smells funny! Finally this one "is juusstt right". Let me give you a little history on my pain issues in general & neck issues specifically. I have fibromyalgia, which causes normal pain issues to become SEVERE pain issues. I have arthritis, bone spurs & a bulging disk at C5-C6 (5th & 6th bones in my neck), which causes everything from minor muscle spasms to excruciating migraines. The first night I used this pillow, the muscle tension in my neck released & my neck naturally realigned itself. Magic! Now it's not absolutely perfect, because I am a side sleeper & need a higher pillow than normal, but I just slide one of my "used to be fluffy - now flat as a pancake" pillows under it & viola! Perfection! I'll take the softness verses the usual "heavy as an anchor" memory foam pillow any day! Now the minty smell was unusual, but not unpleasant. Normally I'm hypersensitive to most any scent or odor & can become quite ill from chemical or artificial fragrances, but had no problem with this one at all. I hope this helps anyone considering purchasing this pillow. Enjoy & good sleeping to you!
