Core Products Double Core Select Cervical Pillow – Orthopedic Neck Support with 4 Adjustable Rolls for Pain Relief, Alignment & Posture – Contoured for Side & Back Sleepers – Assembled in USA

OK, I'm rating 5 stars because I have been trying for a year to replace my last pillow that really helped my neck, but is no longer available. In that time, I have bought several different memory foam contour pillows that claim to have good neck support, but they don't! They are squishy and sink to almost flatness during the night., despite all the scamming claims to be supportive, so that you will spend big bucks to buy them! If you truly need neck support, as in keeping your cervical vertebrae aligned while you sleep, there has to be actual support in place. In the last effective pillow I had, there was a stiffer round foam 'noodle' built into the memory foam contour, and it worked perfectly to support my neck in comfort. It started breaking down after a couple of years, and I couldn't find another one, aftering paying $$$ for several others. I finally found this one with changeable cores and structured foam. It helped, but the pillow itself was too low profile for me. So aftering reading other reviews, I hit upon adding the Minupwell low profile cotton pillow (available on amazon), together with this pillow into my king sized pillow case. This is working fairly well for me, I would rate it 4-4.5*. It's not as perfect as my best pillow was, which had the noodle combined with memory foam, but most of the time my neck isn't aching like with just memory foam. Also having the different noodles to switch around has been great, the middle one working well for me.

I have spine issues in my neck and was told that I would have to have surgery in the future, it has been 15 years since then and I did not have to get the surgery and I owe it all to this pillow. I used to have problems with regular headache/neck pain as a result of how I slept on the pillow. I tried many different pillows and memory foam pillows worked great but would compress and become unusable after a couple months to a year. This pillow allowed my to put the medium insert in the tall section for normal sleeping and the firm insert in the small section for when my neck was acting up. Since it isn't memory foam the pillow holds its shape and firmness LONG beyond what the typical memory foam pillow. This also means that the therapeutic neck support the pillow provides has not been compromised over time. I highly recommend anyone with neck problems to give this pillow a shot.

This pillow looked very cheap at first when I opened the carton, the inserts even looked cheaper and so soft, but when I inserted the firm and extra firm inserts, I was quite surprised how very firm the pillow was, to be honest, I was blown away. I inserted the extra firm on the lower lobe of the pillow and then the firm insert at the higher lobe, I slept on the lower lobe and it was very comfortable, woke feeling energised and no pain! I think you should just try the different inserts on the different lobes to find your comfort zone, this pillow is really surprising me on how it supports my neck. I just got it yesterday and still testing so I will rate 4 stars for now, will try to provide an update after a week or 2.

Best pillow for reducing my pain from a herniated disc between C5/C6. This is the 2nd one I’ve bought after my chiropractor suggested it in 2015.

I was rear-ended a few years ago and have issues with straightening of my neck, herniations, as well as muscle spasms/pain from desk work, etc. I was gifted a Wal-pil-o (Roloke) Jr Hi from a friend with similar issues and it was a dream! However, 5 years later, the foam got too soft and maybe the curve was better in my neck, but suddenly the lower pillow wasn't supporting my neck--at all. I was waking up with daily headaches. So I have tried about 20 pillows from Amazon and various stores. My husband even ended up using one I bought for myself--it was like Goldilocks and finding that "just right" height and curve to fit my neck. NONE have worked for me except this one. I followed the instructions and used it for a couple nights with the original (white) insert and then noted it was "too soft" even though it was okay the first 2 days. Last night I put in the first (blue) tube and had the perfect amount of support. I have no headache this morning. The spasms aren't as bad in my shoulders either. I think I would have hurt my neck had I put the blue insert in first day. It is not like a traditional pillow--it sleeps "harder" than most. You will feel the push into the back of your neck, but I would recommend following the instructions and upgrading the firmness of the pool noodle (lol) over the course of a few days--don't just jump into the harder ones. This is from a person who used a VERY similarly shaped pillow with the same style of hard foam support for years--so I was used to it, or so I thought. I am currently sleeping on the smaller/lower side of the pillow and I think after a few weeks/months, I'll be able to upgrade to the larger side of the pillow, which also fits my neck. I'm 5'5". No smells, no issues with quality or construction. It's a little snug in a traditional pillow case, so even though it comes with its own cover, you may want to find a better/larger pillow case (maybe a sham?) so as not to squish the pillow and change the shape of the foam. I hope this review and the pillow help you as it has been helping me! Note: 3 years and 2 pillows later, I still stand by my review for the quality of neck pain relief. However, the foam ONLY LASTS 6 MONTHS!! The inserts start to soften, they fail, and the foam loses all ability to support you...I even replaced the black one with a pool noodle for firm support. I did contact the manufacturer and ask for replacement inserts or a way to buy replacement inserts, and I was directed to buy another pillow. Hence the lower stars. Still best for cervical pain relief despite this.
