Sidney Sleep Pillow for Side and Back Sleepers - Comfort for Neck and Shoulder Pain - Adjustable and Customizable Shredded Memory Foam Filling - Queen Size - Additional Foam Fill Included (Blue)

Actual pillow for side and back sleepers! I have tried every weirdly shaped pillow there is that claims to relieve pain and none of them worked nearly as well as this one has. The shape is perfect for relieving the extra pressure from my shoulders and the pillow is large enough to hug and still hold my head. It’s made very well and soft. The adjustability is a great bonus as well. I did buy another pillow case just so I don’t ruin the original one. After following the instructions provided the pillow fluffed up nicely and the weird smell completely went away. Highly recommend you follow those! Only downside is that it takes forever to ship but honestly the wait was worth it. Finally, no neck pain and headaches after sleep!!

This pillow system is the best! I love the customization, support and softness. I decided write a review after almost a year of constant and exclusive use to give a honest feedback. I never had an issue with neck pain, which is a first for me. I held on the my favorite old pillow just in case and found I didn't need it after the first week. I have since thrown it away after about 5 faithful years of solid wash/dry/use. I usually have to acclimate to a traditional, store bought pillow ($10-60 ones that claim they are for back/ side sleepers ) and the pain usually starts after the first night, crescendos over 7 days and then subsides over another week. Never happened with pillow. I let the base and extra filling air out for 72 hours after opening, which I highly recommend. Not tossing in the dryer, which is an option, but I can't see how that will get you the best value for the investment of your most treasured rest to shortcut the process. Just be patient and let it acclimate to the room it will spend the most time in, similar to wood flooring in your home. Because I chose the slower method, I still never have smelled any chemicals or off putting odors. I intially used the pillow as it was originally packaged in order to get a sense of the support for the first 21 days. I determined at that point, I wanted to see what adding the extra filling would be like. Not because I had neck pain, but because I notice I tend to squish the filling to whatever side I am on for the longest amount of time. GAME CHANGER! I have long term support and comfort that bounces back after constant use and learned bunching (I am trying to not bunch under my neck for support. Know that will take time because it is a learned behavior from bad support from other 'back/side sleeper' pillows that don't live up to stated claims). The zipper on the case is durable, even when I noticed I was pushing the filling to one side, it held up. It was never so bulky that your natural sleep patterns won't adjust to and even out. I went through the intial summer heat and the 'second' NYC summer without feeling like my head was cooking. I would not say this particular pillow system offers any direct cooling effect that you will noticeably feel. I would say that, the hottest summer days, with a satin pillowcase, it wasn't as bad as I have had in the past. 80-90 degree heat and heavy humidity, I didn't wake up constantly with my head in a pool of sweat. It is not a "cooling effect" so much as, you don't sweat at all, in an humidity or temperature. It's more like, a reasonable person shouldn't find fault or sweat as much with a box or shop fan. The context of like for like, not a dedicated AC or Temp/Climate control system throughout an entire house is not equivalent. Please, leave room for bias. Especially, in these reviews. I am in an apartment, and treated myself/experimented with this pillow. I love it and will recommend/gift it to anyone I can! Happy resting!

This is my second Sidney Sleep pillow. I have loved my first one immensely, and I use it all the time. It keeps my neck supported and keeps my shoulder from smashing into my ear. I bought a second one this year, and noticed that it seemed flatter than my first one, even with the extra memory foam. I wrote to inquire, and was told that I was an anomaly (ha!): most people wanted a softer pillow. Lisa in customer service offered to send me some extra foam, which I appreciated. Got my foam today - super fast - and I am looking forward to stuffing my new pillow a little firmer and enjoying it for years to come. Thank you so much!!
