Product Reviews of Arc4life Cervical Linear Traction Neck Pillow
Product Review: I love this pillow
Summary: 5 Stars
I have have been diagnosed with military neck (loss of curvature in the neck) for over 15 years. The chiropractor wants me to lie on a rolled up towel periodically but who has the time. Often, I will wake with a stiff neck making it difficult to rotate my head. I spend all my time at work seated and looking down which could be the cause of my troubles.
I looked at a number of products and finally settled on the Arc4life traction pillow. I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and it's gentle action. From day one I've slept very comfortably with it and highly recommend it to others experience neck discomfort.
Only negative experience is that my mother in law tried it out when she came to visit and she liked it so much I gave it to her and ordered 2 more for myself. The pillows aren't cheap, but when compared to therapy and even high end pillows, they are a bargain.
Product Review: It works for me, and I'm a side-sleeper.
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this pillow after about two months of severe pain and stiffness in my neck and shoulders, with associated headache. I knew it was a muscular strain, so I had begun some yoga, moist heat compresses and other similar things to work out the tightness. But it was at night, when I thought I'd get relief, that it sometimes got worse.
This pillow absolutely lived up to my expectations based on the product description. As noted in other reviews, it took two or three nights to adjust to the shape, but now it is the ONLY pillow I years of always combining two different pillows in some way. I do sleep on my side, and so I lay my cheek on the edge of the pillow and after a little wiggling the support feels just right. During periods of severe pain, I lie on my back in middle of the pillow and that feels great....it really helps.
Everyone's body is different.....this worked for me, and would definitely recommend trying it.
Product Review: It's OK
Summary: 3 Stars
It's an OK pillow. It's comfortable enough but I did not receive any great relief like some of the other reviewers.
If I could sleep on my back it might work better for me. I have tried but I can lay there on my back for an hour and not go to sleep. It's not uncomfortable, I'm just a side sleeper. This pillow offers support for sleeping on the side, as long as it's to the left or right of center. It is a little lumpy but that doesn't bother me. Sometimes I lay on it, on my back, for about 15 minutes and then roll over to the side and go to sleep.
It's one size fits all. If you are a small person you might want to look elsewhere but you can turn the pillow over if it's too tall for your neck. There's more than one way to use the pillow.
This pillow does fit inside a normal size pillow case; just barely.
The biggest negative with this pillow for me is the price. With tax and shipping it's 70 non-refundable dollars and then you may or may not like it. If I had it to do over again I would probably try the other, more expensive pillow I was looking at; but then it might not be any better. Either way it's a gamble, but if your neck hurts too much it may be worth it.

Product Review: Lifesaver for me!
Summary: 4 Stars
The traction side of the pillow pulls too much to be helpful for me, but the other side started helping the first night that I tried it. After weeks of waking with a terrible headache and nausea, I was resolved to never sleeping decently again. This pillow gave me my first night of sleep without feeling much worse in the morning. I can't sleep without it and need to buy another to have as a spare. For me it was worth every penny. The traction side might be a little more effective if it was slightly softer, maybe it would have worked for me. The non-traction side is good enough for me.
