Core Products D-Core Cervical Neck Pillow - Extra Firm Orthopedic Support for Neck Discomfort, Back Sleepers, Dual Neck Rolls, Cervical Alignment, Midsize, Assembled in USA

Makes my head and back feel great. Less stiffness and pain in shoulders and back. Pillow keeps shoulders and back aligned making me feel refreshed in the morning.

I’ve bought 7 of these over the past 5+ years. Like any pillow, they do become less firm over time, and the relief this pillow brings me is worth the $50 once or twice a year easily. I genuinely have pain any time I use any pillow except for this one, customer for life.

This is the best pillow for side sleepers. It's great for back sleepers, too. Many pillows advertise themselves as appropriate for side AND back sleepers. However, I think it is harder for side sleepers to find a supportive pillow. My experience is that a good side sleeper pillow works fine for back sleepers, but not necessarily vice versa. I'm a side sleeper and have tried the expensive ($150) pillows and the cheap ($20) pillows and everything in between and have a roomful of like-new pillows to show for it. This one is sufficiently high to hold the head level and properly support the neck. The indent in the middle is what helps to keep the head level and pressure off the ear. And you can turn it over and around to find the best fit for you as each side is slightly different. And the price of this one is very reasonable compared to some of the ridiculously-priced pillows (seriously, $150+ for a pillow??!). The pillow is firm but soft, which is what a side sleeper needs. Note that memory foam just doesn't work adequately for side sleepers as it "gives" too much to support the neck no matter how firm it supposedly is in my experience. And the shredded memory foam, which is generally advertised as "adjustable" so that you can fluff it as you like, also fails in my experience because it not only shifts when you want it to, but also shifts when you don't and results in waking with nothing supporting the neck and so a "bent" neck/head. This pillow fits in my standard case, but isn't washable per the instructions. I put a couple of pillow cases on to keep it clean. I will reorder this pillow if/when the current one needs replacement as this is now my go-to pillow. I took off one star, however, as the filling on this one also seems to shift a bit overnight. The manufacturer provides a video on how to move the filling back into place, but I find it somewhat difficult, esp. if arthritis is flaring in my fingers. Accordingly, it would be nice if the manufacturer would provide a zipper on the pillow in order to more easily redistribute the filling. I will note that I solved the problem my own way by folding a small hand towel and placing it between the bottom of the pillow and the pillowcase under the neck area. This way the pillow retains an appropriate height and I don't have to fuss with moving the filling around.

I am rating this pillow a 1 because I do not have options to give the rating it truly deserves a zero. At one time, around 2018 this company had the perfect pillow, different from this one and it was great, best pillow ever.. But every time I upgraded that perfect pillow the quality got lower and lower in terms of the foam until that became a useless pillow with even the firm having no support. I am desperate for a pilllow so I tried this "new design" pillow and a 1 rating is just too high. I caused pain in my neck because I need a lower pillow (low loft). So then I order the samer pillow and it was the same, immediate pain on trying it. It is nothing like the older pillow of yesteryear, you know even some chirorpactors carried it. This new pillow ships on a box folded in half. No matter what the instructions said or many times to smooth out the crease, well there is a crease in the middle which affects the support of the edge. The company is too cheap to even packaged the pillow properly. Glutten for punishment I tried it a couple of nights and the pain it caused was unbelievable. Pain relief is a totally false claim, immediate pain and trying it for a couple nights just to give it a chance, even more pain. I tried this size, the smaller size, it is simply too high and I need the lower loft pillow of yesteryear. At this point, Core Products who used to make a great product, but who quality in that product went significantly down through the years and then they came up with this new horrid design, well maybe it is time for them to go out of business. I talked to two representatives there, the first one was so dumb I ended up hanging up on her. But the second one understood completely saying she got a number of calls with people saying exactly what I was saying. Well Cord Products apparently do not care about what they customers say, well for me ex-customer as this new pillow caused immediate pain. Then I orderd the smaller size hoping it was a lower loft pillow, it was not, immediate pain. If you want pain in your neck, the perhaps this is the product for you. But if not, keep looking for a decent pillow at another company. And I can't find that pillow, not yet but I know I am done with this triffling company. Well maybe not if they brought back the older style pillow with quality foam. If you have a smaller frame and need a low loft pillow, this one is not for you.

Rarely would I ever consider writing a review on a pillow after the 1st night because when it comes to pillows and I, it's a hate hate relationship. 1st let me give a bit of a background on me... I have cervical spinal stenosis forming in my central and facet parts of my vertebrae. I also have 2 bulges in my cervical spine as well as a herniated disc and bulges elsewhere lower down. I get migraines, and I mean full blown migraines where I'm vomiting and can't even be around anything with a scent or light. This all stems from my shoulder and neck areas. Now about my history with pillows....it's near impossible to find one to suit me and actually help with these issues. I've tried them all, all the new shiny ones you can find as a special at places like Costco, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc... I just can not find a pillow I can even make it past the 1st night without waking up worse then when I started with or reaching for my old pillow which doesn't do a good job but is better then 'breaking one in' and suffering a horrible migraine. That all changed last night, I received this D-Core cervical pillow yesterday on time with my prime membership in a clean, new package. I threw it on my couch and took a 30 min. siesta(since I'm pregnant I totally need it mid day) and has used this, well the nap went so good I couldn't wait for bedtime with now high hopes. I did wake up a few times throughout the night because it is firm, but the weird thing is it didn't hurt, I just think since I'm not used to the shape and firmness it just caught me off guard. None the less I found myself not having to constantly fluff and stuff my pillow throughout the night and was able to easily fall back asleep. Fast forward to my alarm going off this morning and I actually woke up refreshed!! My neck didn't kill me like every other single morning!!!! I couldn't believe it! Is it possible to actually not have to have a painful 'break in' period on an amazing pillow?! So as of now this sucker is rated 5 stars in my book. I'll update my rating and review if this changes. But for now I'm wondering why I didn't just spend the 20 something dollars before now instead of upwards of $100 on other pillows that never worked. If you have serious issues like I do with your back and neck and dibilitating headaches please do yourself a favor and just give this pillow a try. I am seriously SO glad I did.

I sometimes twist my neck while I sleep because I sleep on my back, but my face is on side. My chiropractor suggested that I get special pillow to prevent my neck from turning too far. That's why I purchased this pillow. The package says it may take a few weeks before I get used to this product. Well, it has been a few weeks since I started using this pillow, and I haven't gotten used to it yet. I think this pillow is good for side sleepers because it has good neck support. My shoulder doesn't feel pressure. But when I sleep on my back, the neck support is so high that my head is tilted outward (like you give someone CPR), and I have to breathe from my mouth. Also my neck is soar when I wake up in the morning. It certainly keeps my neck from turning, though. Each person's body is different, so you have to try it to find out if this product is good for you or not.

Absolutely incredible. I have been suffering from degenerative disc disease for many many years now and this is the first morning I woke up without neck pain

This is a good support pillow. Your head cradles in the center and supports the neck for an ease of use. I would recommend this pillow.

It has taken 6 weeks to adjust to this pillow despite immediate neck pain relief, and occasionally I have reverted back to my feather pillow only to find it far less comfortable. For years I have had neck pain and often it has worsened after a night's sleep, with little ability to rotate my head. I do daily stretching and strengthening exercises and yet have not been able to make any headway despite also having physio on a regular basis. I am a side sleeper but do not find the ends of the pillow at all comfortable to sleep on as they are just too hard and too high, despite the manufacturers recommendation for side sleepers. Instead, I sleep on my side with my head in the center of the pillow and the side of the pillow with the smaller roll under my neck. I no longer wake up with neck pain. Also, I am using a king-sized pillowcase for this pillow (and it just fits) as my regular-sized ones are too small.

Love love love the pillow. I had back fusion surgery and this is been extremely helpful and comfortable for me after.

Super soutien cervical. Un peu difficile à s’habituer mais diminue ma douleur.

Ideal for a good nights sleep

After dealing with a sore and stiff neck on and off for months I thought I would gove this pillow a go after reading reviews. I had already been sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck and a regular pillow which was helping, so this pillow with the raised neck area looked to achieve the same posture without the hassle. I initally started using it every other night, but pain worsened so I tried using it every 4 nights or so. Every night I use it I wake up with a stiff neck and headache. I don't find the pillow uncomfortable, I do like the feeling of it cradling my head. It is very very very firm, so it works well as a lower back support of my pillow pile when I am stilling up reading in bed, but that's all it is good for.
