Tri-Core Cooling Cervical Pillow for Neck Pain Relief, Midsize, Firm

So my neck has been slowly bending backwards over rhe years till now it hasa backwards curvature. It ne er occurred to me that my pillow could be a contributing factor. Until recently a conversation with a new friend mentioned pillows. Well I went hunting for a cervical correction pillow. Found my way to the core products. On their website they have a quiz to find your perfect pillow. And this was my result. I found the pillow on amazon, and the cost was the same as all the chinesium cervical pillows that flooded the main pages, but this one was recommended by my chiro. At first, when I laid on my back on the pillow right out of the package, I felt the twinge of a migraine, the "pain" that my neck curvature causes me. However I don't sleep on my back. I may roll over on my back at night but I mostly sleep on my side. So I rolled over to test that out. And immediately I noticed a HUGE difference in how I was laying. My shoulder didn't touch my ear like it usually did. Like I was laying in a shrugged position. My shoulders were super relaxed and where they were supposed to be. My "pain", if you can call it that, that I felt on my back was gone. And in seconds I swear I was asleep. This was the middle of the afternoon, I wasn't supposed to be napping!!! I woke up like 30 minutes later, drool on the pillow. In a panic at what time it was!! And my neck and shoulders felt great, no pain, no tension. But the real test will be the first night. Ok so I wake up after night 1, and I am laying on my back. Not unusual, but I DON'T have a migraine, or any pain, like ANYWHERE. Usually I have low back aches if I wake up on my back as I have scoliosis too. Yeah I know I am a mess. But I didn't even have THAT pain... is this some kind of magic pillow or something??? I don't know if because it holds my head back or aligns my spine and it has a trickle down affect or what but I am super happy. Ok the cons... I have 2, sorta... # 1. For those used to a soft fluffy pillow. Even though this is the "gentle" version it is still a FIRM pillow. not really a con. I don't mind it. Because of the shape it's super comfy, I just have to make sure I find the right spot or I get too much pressure on my ear, or jaw. That's the sorta con. The real con in my opinion is because I am a side sleeper, and married 4 years now , we have designated sides of the bed. We are cuddlers, I know a rare breed of human, in order to use this pillow as a side sleeper you can only use one specific spot of the pillow for side sleeping which is VERY far away from my husband 😆 (think small spoon) He would have to basically sleep on my pillow with me, and his head would be in the wrong position. So options are I either have to be the big spoon, which I can't be for medical reasons ( he can't lay on that side) or we have to switch sides of the bed. Or you know deal with no more cuddling. So yeah, I know tiny violin playing..

This pillow has actually been a lifesaver. It’s called the Tri-Core Comfort Zone — super firm (like, REALLY firm, so don’t expect a fluffy cloud). The shape is kind of weird at first — it has this dent in the middle for your head and higher sides to hold your neck straight — but once I got used to it, I swear I wake up way less stiff and my shoulder pain and neck pain has subsided. And the best part is the fabric: it stays pretty cool all night. I’m usually such a hot sleeper, but this pillow does the trick. Only heads-up: it definitely takes a few nights to get comfortable. The first night felt odd, but now I can’t sleep without it. If your neck is acting up, I’d honestly recommend trying it — but only if you like a firm pillow. I think it’s worth it!

It’s a good size, the thickness is good and it’s well-designed and supportive. There’s one side that feels more cooling than the other (the other side actually seems to or feels as if it reflects body heat and makes my neck feel warmer). I’ve been using the pillow now for about a week to help ease the pain of multiple herniated discs and a compressed nerve in my cervical spine, and when I wake up after using it, my neck doesn’t hurt as much as it did before. I also start to feel immediate relief as soon as I lay down for the night. It’s also not too heavy but heavy enough (which makes it dense enough) to provide true support. The video they provide on their product page also shows how to adjust the amount of support by either rubbing away to make it flatter or rubbing towards the center to make it fuller. I tried it because I wanted more support, and the method they show works. I think it’s a good pillow. I’ve tried several other brands and designs and this one is my favorite so far for what I need.

Alleviating headache and neck pain.

I was hesitant to purchase this support pillow - but I am glad I did - I first saw it at my chiropractor's - and it is the best support pillow I have ever purchased. I sleep on my back and side - with no issues. Recommend

The pillow is decent and worked great the first few weeks I had it but the cervical support started to degrade because the pillow lost it's shape/support. When I called the company they told me that I need to push the stuffing around back into the area of need. It's not as easy as it sounds. That was disappointment.

Extremely stiff and not made for human beings. There’s nothing comfortable about this pillow

I absolutely LOVE this pillow! I bought my first one over a decade ago, and it has served me very well. My wife recently bought another pillow, which had me curious about how different a new one of this Tri-Core pillow would feel. The original pillow retained the vast majority (95%+) of its integrity. On the pillow itself - I find as a side sleeper it is the perfect fit and comfort level, so that I sleep soundly and deeply. Highly recommend this to anyone and everyone.

I used to get beck pains from sleeping before I got this pillow. Now they are gone
