I have looked for a replacement for my aging cervical neck pillow for several years. Since these pillows are rather pricey, I wanted to be sure I made the right choice. The first night I tried sleeping on the traction side, but that soon became uncomfortable to me. I switched to the other side, and it was very comfortable. Of course, the cervical pillow was not a new experience for me, so there wasn’t much time spent in getting used to it. I am a back sleeper, and even though the advertisement says it can be used by a side sleeper, I don’t think it would be very comfortable.
For me, the pillow is very much what I needed and hoped it would be.
I need a good pillow or sleeping aide for someone with back problems and snores?
I have a friend who sleeps on a hard futon, and snoring Pillows he snores and has back problems. I want to buy him something for xmas that will help him sleep better and have better posture or position when he sleeps. Some things I have in mind are memory foam bed pads, or neck pillows... something to that idea.

snoring Pillows

I bought this pillow to hopefully reduce my husband’s loud snoring. It seemed to help reduce the loudness of his snoring for the first day or two, but his snoring is again as loud as it was before he started using the anti-snore pillow. My husband has also complained that it is not a very comfortable pillow to sleep on. By the time he woke up in the morning, his neck felt stiff from being in a higher, more rigid position all night vs. a regular pillow. I can not recommend this pillow, unfortunately.
I bought the side sleeper pillow because of neck and shoulder pain and constant headaches.
Well, after two nights the sore neck is gone.
However, I have not been able to get rid of the persistent memory foam odor from the pillow. I put it out in the garage for about five days and nights, sprinkled and rubbed baking powder, sprayed “Febreze,” sprayed rubbing alcohol, ran it in the dryer with the air setting, used a heat gun to make it hot, and sat on it for hours on end. The odor goes away for about an hour or so, then returns.
I still use it because it ended the sore neck muscles and hope it will end my waking up with moderately severe headaches, Every morning, I take it out of it’s pillow cover, place the cover and the two pillow cases in the dryer with dryer strips to remove the odor from the material. I then place the pillow in the sun and later sit on it to force the air that is trapped in the foam. I going to get a polyester pillow case for it and then place the cotton pillow case over it.
The pillow is just ok. It would have been better if it was contoured on both sides. It does get kind of warm and I thought that the memory foam would prevent this. Other than that, it is a good side sleeping pillow, as long as you don’t change positions.
I have spent an unreasonable amount of money over the years looking for the perfect pillow. There’s a pile of abandoned pillows next to my bed that just weren’t right. If I’m going to spend that much time sleeping on a pillow, I want it to be perfect! And with this pillow, I’ve finally got everything I wanted! It is not your average foam pillow. This material is extremely dense and surprisingly heavy, which means that even though it feels very soft and pleasant, it has a nice amount of resistance and support. I actually use all sides of this pillow quite happily. I have finally found the pillow I can’t wait to put my head on! I haven’t slept this well since I was a kid and I have no neck or shoulder stiffness. I will never ever sleep on another pillow if I can avoid it. My search is over. This is The Perfect Pillow.
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. At the store they specifically told me it was a “personal item” but I could try it as long as I kept the plastic on it. As I took it out of the box, the plastic ripped so that option was out.
As soon as we took it out, we noticed a very strong chemical smell. It was not usable. We took the case off and washed it twice and the smell did not go away. I called customer service as was told that they package the pillows too soon and that leaves the smell. They told me to roll the pillow up tightly and then unroll it and the smell would go away in 24 hours. Two days later, the smell was still there so I called customer service and repeated my concerns. I was told there was nothing they could do about it since it is a “personal item”. So now I’m out a hundred dollars for a pillow that can not be in the same room as me because it smells so bad it makes my head hurt. We will never shop at Brookstone again and my credit card company has started an inquiry.
I bought the anti-snore pillow from Brookstone last week and the chemical smell is terrible. I’ve been trying to air it out but am also concerned that it’s going to cause cancer or something! Product is not usable unless the smell goes away. It did stop my snoring for the night I used it but I’m afraid of the consequences!
I don’t snore, but sometimes do have trouble with congestion, a stiff neck/shoulder, and not feeling rested in the morning when I don’t use a supportive pillow and good mattress.
I bought this as a replacement for my no-longer-available Sealy Posturepedic pillow (http://www.amazon.com/Sealy-Posturepedic-Reduction-Memory-Pillow/dp/B0000CEVOK).
The Brookstone pillow is larger, firmer and higher than my Sealy pillow, but has the same ear wells, neck dip and basic design. The Brookstone pillow did need to be aired out initially, and was fine after an hour or two. The Brookstone pillow has a set of adjustable (& removable) inserts to customize neck support. As expected, I did have a bit of soreness for a day or two as my body adjusted to the new pillow but overall, it was a smooth transition. While I still use my Sealy pillow occasionally, I like the Brookstone pillow about as much as my Sealy pillow after having the Brookstone pillow for about a week.
I would be more enthusiastic about the Brookstone pillow if my experience with my Sealy pillow hadn’t been quite as good. The Sealy pillow cost $40 and lasted 5+ years without a problem; the Brookstone pillow is $100 with an unknown lifespan. I feel that I got a much better value with my Sealy pillow, but only so-so value with the Brookstone one, even if it does last me for the next 5 years.
I purchased this pillow from Brookstone and discovered that it has a very strong chemical odor that I can’t seem to get rid of. It’s almost like a mildew type of smell. I refuse to use it and will probably end up throwing it out. I called customer service and was told it is a personal item so can’t be returned. So here I am..[...] out of pocket and no pillow or satisfactory resolution from the company. Nice scam.
I sleep on my side and wake up with a stiff neck and shoulder almost ever day. I decided to try this pillow to see if it would help especially since it claims it is for side sleepers. This was the most uncomfortable pillow I have ever slept on. The neck roll was uncomfortable and I woke up feeling worse than I normally do.
The 4 reviews I read before I bought seemed to be all side sleepers but they loved it so much I decided to try it. Went to the manufacturer’s web site and used their sizing do-hickey. I literally spent about ten minutes on it then tossed it off the bed. It was pure misery. There is nothing that I can find about it that would be helpful for a back sleeper with painful neck problems. The neck roll part was hard and unevenly filled and seemed to have no resemblance to the shape of the sizing template on the CervAlign website. I sent it back the next day. The only reason I rated as high as I did is giving benefit of the doubt for the side sleepers.
I have disc problems in my neck. Soon as I would lay down on my old pillow I would feel a headache coming on almost nightly. This pillow was amazing as it stopped my headaches! It is very hard for me to get used to though, but worth every effort if my headaches are gone!
