Core Products Tri-Core Standard Support (Baby Blue) ...

my neck feels better in morning

Great comfort

Helpful to keep neck properly aligned. Will need to use pillow for longer to provide more feedback.

This pillow has definitely improved my sleep! I use an Apple Watch to track my sleeping patterns, and my time awake during the night is greatly reduced. You have to make sure you’re following the directions and using it correctly. I am a side sleeper and I will share what I do to get the results that I am getting. The pillow has an indent in it shaped like half of moon, which is where your head goes. I, like most people, approached the pillow from the straight line of the half moon. You need to ensure that your shoulders are touching the bed and not on top of the pillow. It’s important that you place your head in the low part of the indent, farther enough in that your top of your head is touching the back support of the pillow. Don’t put your head on the neck support or side supports of the pillow. Then slowly move your head and find the “sweet spot“ and you will sleep like a baby all night!

I was wary of buying another pillow after years of only being able to tolerate NeckBone pillows, and even they were never quite supportive enough. I've been a back sleeper since childhood, and I require something firm under my neck and little-to-nothing under my head. I've become disenchanted with the NeckBone pillows, as the manufacturing changed years ago, leaving the quality iffy, but every other pillow I've tried has been useless. I researched many options for "cervical" pillows, and, after looking carefully at some very expensive brands, decided to try this (relatively) inexpensive Tri-Core pillow. The shape seemed perfect for my needs: support that firmly cradles my neck, a depression for my head to fit into, and side bolsters to keep my head from falling to one side or the other. It LOOKED like it would work... And I am happy to say that it is AMAZING! I slept comfortably with it the very first night I used it, with no breaking-in period, no soreness or stiff neck the next day, just refreshing rest. I didn't have to wake up and reposition the pillow at all, I didn't have to adjust the stuffing, I just put the thicker bolster under my neck (I like more support), put my head in the little divot in the middle, and rested in comfort all night. I've also tried a bit of side-sleeping (not my favored position), and was very happy with the way the pillow handled support on my side as well -- I could still breathe instead of having a face full of stuffing. I waited until I'd used the pillow a decent amount of time before writing the review, and after twelve nights I can safely say that I LOVE THIS PILLOW! By the way, since I'm always seeing reviews from folks who say they got the items for free or at a discount for their "unbiased" review, let me state this unequivocally: I paid FULL PRICE on Amazon for this pillow, I got NO DISCOUNT and NO PERKS to write this. I am just that ECSTATIC to find a pillow that works for me! I can't say it will work for people who favor side sleeping or stomach sleeping, but as a back sleeper who tends to get neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches from other pillows, I can say definitively that this pillow is now one of my favorite things ever.
