Cooling Gel Cervical Neck Pillow for Pain Relief Sleeping – Ventilated Blue Memory Foam - Orthopedic Contour Pillow for Side, Back, Stomach Sleeper - Ergonomic Neck and Shoulder Support Pillows

Very good product

I have some medical conditions, I bought the pillow to help manage mostly the pain and discomfort. The pillow is soft enough for my fibro and comfortable enough for me to lie on it for an extended amount of time. The cooling gel pad is a small square in the center of the pillow where you rest your head and isn't that great. Initially, I thought the pillow didn't come with the gel pad. I misunderstood and thought the gel was a filling in the pillow itself like other cooling pillows. This pillow instead has a pocket with a square gel pad that can be removed. The cooling it gives off isn't great, it works slightly better if you remove it and place it in the fridge for a bit. The pillow case is a little thick which is what makes the pillow more comfortable but doesn't really allow the cooling feeling to come through as well. The pillow comes already in the pillow case with an extra pillow case, I guess to use while you wash the other one. The foam pillow, itself, comes in zipped in a much thinner cloth case that has the pocket with the cooling gel pad. The pillow has a grid of holes in the center of the pillow, I guess for the "breathable" part but with the two pillowcases (the thinner one that holds the gel pad and the actual softer but thicker exterior case) it doesn't feel very "breathy"... which may or may not be another reason the cooling gel pad doesn't come through that well. For orthopedic uses, I think the pillow works well. I've been using it since it arrived and find it to be very comfortable despite my severe case of fibromyalgia. The foam is formed in such a way that allows me to rest both my head and hands as I like to raise my hands near my head and there are dip spots to rest your hands there. I enjoy this design feature. The pillow so far hasn't deflated much at all over every day use since it arrived. The foam seems to be fairly firm but has just the "right" amount of give to not be uncomfortable or stiff. I would recommend this pillow if you're looking for an comfortable orthopedic pillow but maybe not if you're looking for a cooling pillow.

The reason for only 3 stars is that this pillow is not right for me. It's very well made and the materials are good quality, but it is quite hard. For back sleeping it did actually feel good on my neck, but only if I slept in the exact same position all night. For side sleeping it's just too hard to be comfortable. I'm not saying it's a bad pillow, it's just not right for me.

I have had this pillow for a few months now, and I do like it. At first, I was apprehensive because I tend to move around a lot in my sleep, but after the first night, I knew I would not return this pillow. I've noticed that I do not snore nearly as often as I used to, as my head is fully supported and cradled. My only complaint is that it's a little too narrow, so it occasionally puts pressure on my ears, and I wake up with them aching sometimes. It isn't a cooling pillow either, but I have found that it doesn't hold onto heat, which I need since I am a hot sleeper. So far, it's great, and I would recommend it!

This is pawfection. My owner was pretty annoyed with me for taking it over, said if I could figure out how to use it, its mine to use. Clearly, joke's on her. I shih tzu not, I labr-adore this pillow.
