WOWSEA Soft Nap Donut Pillow, Ergonomic Memory Cotton Wedge Pillow for Sleeping, Slow Rebound Desk Nap Pillow (Slightly Hard) for Slender Ladies & Teenagers, Comfortable Washable Velvet Cover

I bought this pillow at two in the morning, in a fit of rage induced by the constant rustling of my ear against my pillowcase. I was apprehensive the next day when I looked at the description, since I'm neither a teenager nor a slender lady. This thing is magical. No matter what position I feel like enjoying my chronic insomnia in, there's a way to flip this pillow so my head and neck are cradled in comfort and, more importantly, there's no noise in my ear. I've tried everything, foam pillows, down pillows, flat pillows, fat pillows, decorative pillows, even other travel pillows. This is my favorite by far. Plus, if I ever get to travel again, it is small enough that it would easily fit in my suitcase. (I also appreciate that there were no "send us your five star review and we'll give you $10” types of materials in the package.) Editing to add that I now own three of these because I am terrified they'll stop making them someday; my neck and shoulder pain are gone; and it was great for travel because I could tuck it in my carry-on easily.

Typically, I’m a back sleeper but during my prayers, I prefer lying on my stomach. I found this pillow to be quite comfortable having enough support for my neck, something I was concerned at first. I did noticed feeling a bit restricted in airflow, which took away the pillow’s overall comfortability and thus the 4 stars. I began experimenting with it as a sleeping pillow and surprisingly, found my sleep to be pretty comfortable. I had no issues with neck stiffness and the resting area of the back of my head wasn’t sore for sleeping too long in that position. In the past, I purchased a few expensive pillows, hoping to relieve some of these issues; instead it continued. For now, replacing it as a sleeping pillow works! it’s probably the way the pillow is made allowing the pressure to distribute evenly while still providing reasonable sleep hygiene. I like this weird and strange design!

I recently got a helix piercing and couldnt stand not being able to sleep on my side. I wasnt sure if this would work for me since it says its a desk pillow, but Im so glad I bought this! Its very soft, its nice and firm, and my ear fits well. I can either put my arm under the pillow, or spread the pillow out a bit to make it flatter. I would definetly say this works great for sleeping with peircings or any ear pain. *Update* This pillow is WAY more versatile than I imagined it would be. Its comfotable virtually any way you have it angled. Even sleeping flat on my back, flipping the pillow upside down creates a firm rest for my neck, but a bit of a divet for my head which is so comfortable. Its nice sitting up in bed and using it behind my back or neck, too.

It didn't work at all. The pillow is too soft for adult use. It collapsed when I put my face on it therefore restrict airflow. The hole barely fits my face. The size of the pillow is perfect for children but not adults.

This Pillow has been a helpful addition to my napping routine, providing the comfort and support I need. The ergonomic memory foam core offers a slow rebound, making it excellent for quick desk naps or travel. However, I noticed that the pillow has a slight chemical odor when first unpacked, which required airing out for a couple of days. The velvet cover is soft and easily removable for washing, maintaining a clean and comfortable surface. The unique design with an inner hole of 3.93” x 2.75” allows for versatile use, but I found the size of the hole to be a bit small for comfortable face-down sleeping, especially if you have a larger face or use it as a breathing hole. Despite its compact size, the pillow supports various sleeping positions well. Whether I'm leaning back on a chair, laying on my stomach, or using it as a neck pillow, it helps alleviate pressure and provides a decent level of comfort. However, the firmness might be too much for those preferring a softer pillow. For anyone who needs a versatile nap pillow, this is a solid choice. It's particularly useful for slender individuals or teenagers due to its size. If you are looking for more space to breathe through the hole, you might want to look for alternatives with larger openings. This pillow is ideal for those who need a portable, multi-use nap pillow that supports various positions. Just be aware of the initial odor and the relatively small breathing hole.

This was absolutely perfect for my ear, you can turn it any which way and it will fit for you. My ear fit without touching any of the sides and it is so comfortable. It’s hard enough to where I don’t sink and soft enough to where it’s good for my head. I’ve never had it move and fall away through the night and i move in my sleep lots. Plus there are other uses as seen in the picture! I love this pillow and absolutely recommend for anyone with pierced ears who sleeps on their side.

I'm well aware that based on the title, I'm not using this product for its intended use. I'll explain why. So I'm sure that for many out there, the biggest issue with getting a new ear piercing, whichever kind it is, is having to train yourself to sleep on a different side than you're used to, in order to avoid irritating or infecting the new piercing. In my case, it was a new set of helix piercings, and while at this point I've had both ears done, for some reason I found it much harder to train myself for this ear, which leads to a lot of restless nights. I've heard a number of people recommend using the C-shaped travel neck pillows you'd use on airplanes for sleeping on a pierced ear, but I didn't buy one of those for two reasons. First, about 75% of those pillows are the kind with the little microbeads, which are near impossible to sleep on for all the light sleepers out there, because all you'll hear are little beads moving. Second is that because of the "C" shape, that often leads the pillow to widening or loosing its form overnight, which is what you don't want when you're trying to avoid making contact with the piercing. There are also "medical" alternatives as padding intended for after an ear surgery, but you're better off getting regular egg-crate foam and cutting a hole in it yourself, and even then, you shouldn't expect any sort of support or comfort. This pillow. however, addresses both of these problems. I chose this one specifically for the "firm" qualities, as most of my normal pillows are on the harder side personally, and this one definitely delivers. I should note that you can probably find other desk pillows like this with a softer memory foam, if you're so inclined. Depending on the location of the piercing, I've found there is always a decent amount of play in the amount of space between your ear and the pillow, depending on how you shift your head, and assuming you have regular-ish sized ears. The only drawback I can think of, if at all, is that this pillow has a noticeably smaller footprint compared to a standard pillow. But considering that in using this pillow this way with an ear inserted into the opening, I don't see the small size as an issue because your head wont be doing that much rolling around.

Hole is too small for big face. Also, material emits strong odor. I recommend taking off the cover, and leave it overnight.
