Core Products Double Core Select Cervical Pillow – Orthopedic Neck Support with 4 Adjustable Rolls for Pain Relief, Alignment & Posture – Contoured for Side & Back Sleepers – Assembled in USA

I was rear-ended a few years ago and have issues with straightening of my neck, herniations, as well as muscle spasms/pain from desk work, etc. I was gifted a Wal-pil-o (Roloke) Jr Hi from a friend with similar issues and it was a dream! However, 5 years later, the foam got too soft and maybe the curve was better in my neck, but suddenly the lower pillow wasn't supporting my neck--at all. I was waking up with daily headaches. So I have tried about 20 pillows from Amazon and various stores. My husband even ended up using one I bought for myself--it was like Goldilocks and finding that "just right" height and curve to fit my neck. NONE have worked for me except this one.I followed the instructions and used it for a couple nights with the original (white) insert and then noted it was "too soft" even though it was okay the first 2 days. Last night I put in the first (blue) tube and had the perfect amount of support. I have no headache this morning. The spasms aren't as bad in my shoulders either. I think I would have hurt my neck had I put the blue insert in first day.It is not like a traditional pillow--it sleeps "harder" than most. You will feel the push into the back of your neck, but I would recommend following the instructions and upgrading the firmness of the pool noodle (lol) over the course of a few days--don't just jump into the harder ones. This is from a person who used a VERY similarly shaped pillow with the same style of hard foam support for years--so I was used to it, or so I thought.I am currently sleeping on the smaller/lower side of the pillow and I think after a few weeks/months, I'll be able to upgrade to the larger side of the pillow, which also fits my neck. I'm 5'5".No smells, no issues with quality or construction. It's a little snug in a traditional pillow case, so even though it comes with its own cover, you may want to find a better/larger pillow case (maybe a sham?) so as not to squish the pillow and change the shape of the foam.I hope this review and the pillow help you as it has been helping me!

This pillow is superb, especially if you have neck pain! The ability to adjust the amount of support is fantastic. My previous pillow (pillo-pedic) gets too soft in about 90 days; so it will be interesting to see how this one fares over time.

It has helped my pain neck a lot so I am somewhat pleased at this time. It is not the most comfortable, but I'm hoping I will adjust to it with time. And like others have mentioned, the foam seems cheap and flimsy, but it seems to be getting the job done so far. And it was cheaper than others I had ordered that still caused me pain. All in all, I am pleased with it and would order it again.

I have been sleeping on orthopedic neck pillows for about 12 years. I never had trouble finding a decent pillow until recently.I tried the tempurpedic - hated it because it squishes down to one inch from the heat. I tried the d-core pillow but I got pain in my neck - it's just a strange design. I don't do well with memory foam pillows because of the heat, again, they tend to get flat and I actually need the support.After trying about six different pillows over a period of two months, I gave this a try. It's fantastic. It doesn't flatten because it's not memory foam and the precision cut foam tubes can be changed. I started with the mid-firm one but had to change to the soft (the instructions do say to start with the softest one). No more tossing in bed, no more pain in the neck (literally).This pillow is perfect especially because you can adjust the firmness by changing out the cores. I am absolutely delighted with it and so is my husband. He doesn't have to hear me complain that I can't sleep.U P D A T E: I have been using this for almost 6 months now and I have to look for another pillow. I'm in between the 2nd and the 3rd cores. The 2nd is too soft and the 3rd is too hard. I am having a very hard time adjusting. No longer happy with pillow. Too bad, it worked wonders at the beginning.My star rating has dropped to a 2.
