Sidney Sleep Adjustable Curved Pillows for Neck and Shoulder Support with Extra Shredded Fill - Cervical Contour Pillow for Side and Back Sleepers - Queen Size 19" x 29" CertiPUR-US Certified (White)

*This is a HONEST review from a real buyer! I read reviews about everything before purchasing and I often feel mislead.. I hope that my review can help someone else who may be having the same issues or sleep in the same strange position as I do* After suffering a neck and shoulder injury in early January I've spent the whole year and a ton of money searching for and testing anything and everything to provide even the slightest bit of relief. Finally my search has ended thanks to this pillow! I am an avid side sleeper and although medium to hard pillows are recommended, my whole life I have gotten away with the big soft fluffy pillows with no problems at all, that is until my injury. On my 2022 pillow hunt journey I've tried pillows made of all different things, shapes and sizes and each one seemed to be worse than the last and almost all of them (although the claim to be medium) are so hard I swear you can knock someone out with it. The Sidney pillow was one of the first to go in my cart but I kept putting it off due to some of bad reviews I read (particularly the chemical burn ones) and ended up going for more expensive pillows. HUGE MISTAKE! Finally I was in such extreme pain, sleep deprived, desperate and seen this pillow could arrive that night so ordered it and ordered 2 other kinds of pillows as well just incase.. Sidney pillow showed up around 4 am I immediately took it out of the package threw my own pillow case over it and tried laying on it right away before it fully expanded. There was a slight smell but I didn't care I had no patience and I just wanted sleep. After a few minutes I decided to add more stuffing (because it had not yet expanded fully) and layed back down and FINALLY got some sleep. When I woke up I did remove some of the stuffing and put it back in the bag and left the pillow to lay out with both the cover it comes with and my own off for the remainder of the day and occasionally fluffing it. By bedtime the smell was gone and it took just a little fluffing to get it how I wanted it and then I drifted off to the land of nod. The sidney pillow is what I would consider a "medium" pillow. Not so hard you feel like your laying on a rock but not so soft you have no neck support and falling into it. The slight curve in the pillow may not look as though it would make that big of a difference. I personally underestimated the curve lol. Now I can't imagine using a pillow without that curve. Ive tried many contour pillows but they are always so hard and they dont properly support the curve of my neck as they are to high and seem to be more for back sleepers. I never sleep with my pillow laying horizontally.. I like to sleep on my right side with my right arm upwards and underneath my pillow and kinda hug it. Normally this makes me need two pillows one to hug and another to lay my head on but that needs constant adjustment as I move or there are L or J shapped pillows but those do not provide enough pillow to hug on the longer leg side of it plus they take up a lot of space in bed. So if you sleep like me, the curve with the Sidney Pillow allows you to perfectly form around it and the pointed corner ends wraps under your neck and head and around your shoulder giving the extra support normal rectangular pillows do not. After the first time sleeping on it I already felt less neck pain when waking up. After 3 days zero neck pain or shoulder pain upon waking up. Of course as the day goes on depending what I'm doing the pain starts to creep back up on me but with the help of this pillow I'm easily and comfortably able to get to sleep each night. No more tossing and turning all night, no smell after airing the pillow out and allowing it to expand properly and no chemical burn which was my biggest fear cause I have super sensitive skin. I do not feel the cubes of stuffing as others said through the pillow case when I lay on it or even by running my hand over it. The cubes are very tiny and in no way jabbing at your face lol. It does take a little fluffing at first but I have not needed to constantly fluff it or had issues with it losing its shape. In fact the longer I've used it the better it has gotten as it has molded perfectly to me and my bodies natural curves and where I need the support. I know going off others reviews is difficult when it comes to pillows because everyone is different and sleeps differently but I truly think this pillow could be the one for just about anyone as it's easily adjustable to your liking of firmness and it molds to you and your body and sleeping position rather than the permanent pre cut and shaped you see with other pillows. I definitely recommend this pillow just be sure to remove the pillow case it comes with and allow it to air out and occasionally fluffing it during this process to release the fumes and help it expand properly. You may want to play around with the amount of stuffing you want in it to find what is best for you but don't lose patience if the first night it's not perfect because the more you sleep on it the more it will form to you and your curves. It truly becomes a pillow that seems as if it was molded just for you. I also don't recommend using it as a pillow you lean against in bed when sitting up reading or watching tv because that will change the form it has built for your individual neck, head, and shoulders.

The Sidney pillow is a #1 pillow for side sleepers. I love how it curves in exactly the right places. I sleep better and have so much comfort. No more neck pain or headaches. I recommend this pillow to everyone!!!!

I ordered these based on all the five star reviews. I really like these pillows but am not in love with them. There are two pillows in this set and they are not mini-pillows to me. There is also a package of cut up foam in case I want to put more of this foam in the pillow. In addition, there is a cloth backpack (see photo). These pillows are soft and comfortable to use. I love the crescent design. However, they are made of cut up foam. Had I known that, I might not have ordered them. I hate cut up foam. They also have a smell to them that I hope will go away over time. I am glad, however, that these are not mini in size. I consider them medium-sized pillows. The outer shell is a zippered pillowcase and then there is an interior white zippered cover holding the foam together. The extra foam can be added here. I waited until there was a discount on these before purchasing so the current price at the time I ordered was $37.49 plus tax (instead of $49.99 plus tax). For that price I think these are competitively priced. To me these are 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars. If this were solid memory foam and did not smell, then I would have rated them 5 stars.

I’ve been sleeping on this pillow for a couple months now, so I can write an honest review. I was looking for a firm pillow, but not so firm that my head wouldn’t sink in. I used the extra filler and it really made a difference, felt better. I like that it has give, not enough that you feel suffocated. The neat thing about this pillow is you can flip it around to the flat side and it’s like a regular pillow. I wasn’t a fan of the contour part, but I flipped it to the flat side.

I wanted to give it a couple of weeks before reviewing. This pillow is great! I needed to add a bit more stuffing to firm it up to my liking but I have been sleeping great. It’s perfect for side sleeping and stomach sleeping and no more headaches and stiff necks in the morning.

Excellent pillow, my new favorite pillow!! I am a side sleeper mostly and sometimes back and this is very comfortable.It is adjustable with the ability to remove or put in more foam stuffing.It has memory foam filling adjusting to your head and provides great support. It soft to moderate not hard pillow. I put pillow in my pillow case cover zipped tight so there was minimal to no smell on the first day.Second day zero smell.I didn’t get to air it out as I needed a pillow right away.Also I didn’t have a chance to wash cover as the instructions suggested.Would buy again and would highly recommend.

I bought this pillow with the hopes that it would help with my occasional snoring. It did not help with snoring. It is a comfortable pillow, though. There was no bad smell with mine (I saw some reviews mention this). I like that it comes a bag of stuffing so the pillow can be adjusted. Just make sure to keep the extra stuffing away from animals. The extra curves on this pillow didn't do anything for me except make it harder to fit a case over it (pillows have to match in my house). Overall this is a nice pillow but it fell short of expectations. If you can get this 15 to 20 dollars cheaper then it's worth it otherwise I would pass.

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!

It was a big treat to invest in a pillow I was a bit doubtful it would help me sleep but it's worth investing in from my perspective It takes a little while to have the right volum of memory foam for you personally but once you find the right amount it's great. It's slightly strange having a pillow this shape and it's easy not to put your head properly on it so resting the crown rather than whole side of head but you'll know because your just nit as comfy as you should be so pull it down securely under your head and although you know your heads on something but alchmy happens as once your resting on it youve not much time to think because your fast asleep which for insomniac me is great. You don't need to search for the right shape pillow case as I did but use a regular pillowcase it doesn't detract from the pillow You get a nice back with lots of extra memory foam so you'll be able to use as much or as little as suits you best I found using a bit more than I expected to need was best for me I would recommend this pillow

To anyone who gets a sore neck this is the perfect pillow to solve that problem. It's perfect but very expensive!

Been using it for a couple of months and I sleep so much better now.
