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

The pillow is comfortable, though maybe too firm for some people’s taste, though I really like it. The cutouts for your cpap mask are only on the two lower corners, it doesn’t run all the way across. That makes it work for your head to be on a firm supportive surface but your mask will easily fit into the cutout if you sleep near one of the pillow edges. The pillow does fit into a normal sized pillow case. All in all, it’s a bit more comfortable than a normal pillow while you’re using your cpap, but it’s not a world changing difference.
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 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!
