Product Reviews of Double Core Select Pillow Orthopedic Pillow - Core Item # 172
Product Review: Fantastic... Better than Tempurpedic
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Product Review: Good idea, but does not work very well.
Summary: 2 Stars
The interchangeable cores for the pillow are a good idea, but they do not work very well. The pillow material compresses, and you are left with no support (for the softest core) or a hard cylinder that does not support your neck very well (medium and hard cores). Also, the pillow opens to put the core in and does not close completely.Product Review: Great Pillow
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this pillow and it arrived in about a week! To set the cores into the pillow was very easy. The cover that is supplied with the pillow is not very easy to put on however, the cover DOES hold tightly to the pillow which is great. As noted in the instructions, it seems to be best to start off with the softer cores and work up to the more firm ones. Once I switched over to the next level core, the first night I awoke twice to reposition. The second night I slept though the night and likewise since then. I have not upgraded the core and I have yet to have any neck aches.
I use a CPAP machine and have arthritis in my spine (and neck) and this pillow is working very well for me. I am thrilled that I finally can sleep all night and have no neck pain in the morning. I had originally asked Customer Service if they had such a pillow, little did I know that there was one in the works!!! I am very, very pleased!!!
Product Review: Not for me
Summary: 2 Stars
Fast delivery! The idea for this pillow is great. However, the pillow is a little flimsy. The foam has a pre-cut slip in area where you place the firm pieces of foam. But the pillow as not sturdy enough for me to sleep on. I am going to use it in the car when I need a nap.Product Review: Not too pleased
Summary: 1 Stars
My husband and I suffer from stiff neck pain from time to time. We need good neck support while we sleep. We have tried alot of pillows over the years. Water, buckwheat, Tempura to name just a few. After reading the reviews on this pillow I felt comfortable in purchasing a couple of them for us. Mistake. These pillows are made out of VERY soft foam. Even with the choice of changeable inserts the pillow itself does not have support for your head. I only opened one pillow hoping to return the other which I did without any problems. I was very disappointed by the quality with the price I paid for this pillow.
