DogBones NeckBones Chiropractic Neck Pillow Review

DogBones NeckBones Chiropractic Neck PillowAs a physical therapist who suffers from neck pain, this is the ONLY pillow that I can use without waking up to having cervical muscle spasms in the mornings. This pillow is great for people who do not have the normal curvature of the cervical spine a.k.a.-- straight necks (cervical arthritis etc).
I bought one 3 years ago at CVS & have been looking for a year now for a replacement since mine cannot support my neck very well anymore.It has been a week that I have been waking up to neck spasms & I am delighted to find that it is here at Amazon.It was here all along, I just have been typing in the wrong name-- cervical pillow, cervical roll, neck roll etc....I am happy that I remembered what my 5 year old son called it-- BONE, typed it, and boy was he right.

3-Pound Memory Foam Contour Pillow Review

3-Pound Memory Foam Contour PillowI bought this for my special someone, and she loves it.She has regular back and neck pain, and had struggled in the past to find a good pillow.

She had used down, cotton, firm, soft, and even put a rolled towel in the bottom of the pillowcase to provide support, but not until she used this pillow did she truly find comfort.

So, people seem to like the Pro/Con breakdown; here's mine:

Pros:
- Comfortable support for your head and neck
- Good quality cover, and fits easily into current pillowcases
- Two different-sized "contours" (small/large) to fit any size neck
- Great weight for pillowfights

Cons:
- Only one pillow (too small to share comfortably)
- Makes current pillows seem weak, awkward, and generally lame
- Devastating to lamps during pillowfights

I would recommend buying two of these pillows - so far, only buying one has been my only regret.

MEDIFLOW - Water Based Pillow - Water Pillow - Mediflow Fiber Padding Review

MEDIFLOW - Water Based Pillow - Water Pillow - Mediflow Fiber PaddingAfter buying dozens of different types of pillows and spending tons of money, I finally found a pillow that finally does what it claims.I have serious cervical and lumbar disk problems and am on disability.I truly needed a pillow that would support my head and neck properly.I no longer wake up during the night to readjust and fluff the pillow and the neck pain is gone.This is NOT a pillow designated for ONLY side sleepers, back sleepers or stomach sleepers.This is a pillow for ANY position you sleep in as it moves with you as it cradles your head and neck. You can control the amount of support and firmness by the amount of water you fill the pillow with. Obviously, it will NEVER go flat!! But be aware that once filled with water, this pillow gets quite heavy thus staying put. I also bought one for my husband who also complains of neck pain and we are happy campers in the morning now!!!I highly recommend this waterbased pillow to everyone needing a good night's rest and spare their neck from needless malalignment and pain.This is also a great price as it usually sells for twice the amount!Grab it while you can!!!Speedy delivery.Thank you from the bottom of my neck!!!

Dream Supreme Plus 100% Gel Filled Pillows Review

Dream Supreme Plus 100% Gel Filled PillowsI bought these to replace a couple of down pillows I had that were getting old and rather shabby.

These have the same *feeling* as down, but are heavier (weight).They plump up very nicely, and provide the same support as a medium-firm down pillow.If you have allergies, these are ideal.

I'm really sold on them -- in fact, I'm getting ready to order 4 more.I just wish they came in Queen size.

Simmons Beautyrest Cotton Cover Latex Pillow Review

Simmons Beautyrest Cotton Cover Latex PillowI think that the reason that some people are giving this pillow bad reviews is that the description does not properly explain the feel of this pillow.This is not a HARD pillow (what most would consider firm.)It is also not quite a SOFT pillow (no resistance beneath your head.)It is a SPRINGY pillow.It could also be described as bouncy.

Let me draw an analogy to shoes.A Birkenstock sandal has a firm supportive footbed--but no bounce.A cushioned slipper has a soft footbed--but still no bounce.An athletic shoe has a springy footbed.It is flexible, slightly hard, and has bounce.This pillow would be analogous to a less hard (but very springy) athletic shoe.

This is my all-time favorite pillow.It does need to be aired out for a while to be rid of the latex smell.I like it much better than memory foam.With memory foam you just sink.With latex, your head is cradled like in a hammock.

I think those who wrote bad reviews actually wanted a different type of pillow.This is an excellent pillow--you just need to know what you are getting.When it comes to firmness, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being soft and 10 being hard, this pillow is a 3.For springiness, on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being flaccid and 10 being a balloon or a super bouncy ball, this pillow is about a 7.The manufacturer just needs a better writer to describe their product.

Sleep Better Iso-Cool Memory Foam Pillow Review

Sleep Better Iso-Cool Memory Foam PillowI suffer from two herniated cervical disks and it is very difficult for me to find a pillow that is just right, not too soft, not too firm, not too low, not too high... Over the years I have tried many, many memory foam pillows, amongst them the Dream Coil pillow, the Tempurpedic, Therapedic, you name it.

All worked somewhat but it seems that the main problem with most memory foam pillows is that they are too firm at first (especially in the winter when it is cold in the bedroom), then mold perfectly to a person's individual anatomy until the material gets too warm from the person's body heat and finally it does not provide perfect support anymore because it gets too soft and allows the head to sink in too far.

Because I was a the point yet again where I was changing out my various memory foam pillows several times a night in order to get comfortable, I was looking for just another pillow to try. Which in this case was the Iso-Cool pillow (the contoured model).

What a find! This is a truly different pillow. For me who sleeps mainly on her side and sometimes awakes on her back, it strikes the perfect balance between support and softness. I simply love it. It does not feel too firm in the beginning, just supportive, and it does not end up being too soft during the night, it simply remains exactly the same. That it doesn't overheat is another perfect feature but I admit I did not buy this pillow primarily for that although it is advertised as a "stays-cool-pillow".

I am very impressed with this pillow and can highly, highly recommend it to anyone suffering from the same condition as I am.

Of course I know from experience that these pillows come on the market and also disappear from it quickly, so I've already bought a second one and will get a few more. Just in case it will wear out one day. Because I want to avoid having to hunt down the overstocks all over the web as I had to do with the Dream Coil pillow a few years back...

UPDATE: I just received my additional Iso-Cool contour pillows. Contrary to the one I had recently bought at JC Penny's, these Amazon-sold ones come without the retail box and a thinner, considerably more basic pillow cover. The pillow cover from Penny's is the nicer one. The one I received from Amazon does not have blue or for that matter any piping, no stitched Iso-Cool logo, quite a bit thinner fabric.

But otherwise they seem to be made of the same material and have the same 15-yr. warranty. Just thought I'd mention that these differ a bit from other Iso-Cool pillows available out there...

UPDATE II:
In September 09 someone commented on my review here saying that Amazon now ships the pillow with the Iso-Cool cover as pictured. That's great - it's a much nicer cover than what I got from Amazon when I first posted this review.

Iso-Cool- pillows and mattress toppers feature Outlast® Adaptive Comfort® material that adjusts to the body's changing temperature.

If the body's temperature is too cool, the product releases heat and feels warm in order to regulate the body temperature. Carpenter Co.'s Iso-Cool products feature the highest available concentration of PCMs, making them extremely effective.

Pike Street Micro Bead Therapy Pillow with Cover Review

Pike Street Micro Bead Therapy Pillow with CoverI've now slept on this pillow for 2 wonderful nights. It's soft and cradles your head and neck. I haven't slept with it with the provided cover - though it's very soft, too. I think the cover constricts the movement of the beads, so it doesn't conform to your head and neck and feels hard. But for $30 I'm highly pleased with this pillow. I'll keep you posted about how it holds up and how it feels down the road.
--Two weeks later-- still love the pillow - put a loose fitting regular pillow case on it to protect it.
--Three Months Later-- still my favorite pillow purchase, may be a moot point, since Amazon does not seem inclinded to carry it any longer. I don't wake up with neck pain with this pillow - and I have lingering whiplash injuries (bulging discs).
--10 months later and final review. Still sleep with this pillow in a regular case. It's the still the best, though the long channel of microbeads has gotten less fluffy over time. I would still buy it again even if I had to buy one a year.
