Customer Reviews of Core Products * Tri-core Cervical Pillow - Standard
Customer Review: Tri-Core Pillow
Summary: 4 Stars
This pillow is nice. I have neck arthritis and am trying to find certain things to help alieviate the pain. There definitely is a difference in my sleeping and i do sleep better with this pillow. i give it a four star because I'm having a little trouble figureing out which side is right for me - it says to work up to the larger side but the larger side felt better to me from the first day that i got the pillow. i was going to call the company and talk to someone about that but i haven't gotten around to it. Also i move A LOT when i sleep so i don't use it altogether correcly and sometimes wake up in a position that isn't errogonomically correct for my neck especially. but all in all it's a good product. if you have neck pain, i recommend also checking out the DogBone pillows, because they are SO comfortable, and priced reasonable.
Customer Review: THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN CHANGED
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been using, and loving, this product for many years. It was first recommended by my chiropractor. I just reordered and find that the product has changed for the worse. It no longer has the firm support it once gave me. I phoned customer support and they confirmed that the pillow was now made softer, they also admitted to many complaints from older customers like me.
My neck pain has returned and I am trying to find a good replacement product. It truly is a pity when a firm takes a proven winner and tinkers with it. I doubt that they will have many repeat customers with this new product.
It reminds me of when the Coca Cola folks discontinued their proven formula and changed the soda. Public uproar made them produce Classic Coke. Maybe Core Products will wake up too.
Customer Review: An intervension was needed
Summary: 4 Stars
The photo, as well as the pillow itself are a bit misleading. I have a fused, straight neck, and it has been shrinking over the years, and I now can barely measure two finger breadth between the base of my neck and the base of the skull. The neck support portion, was far too broad, (unlike photo,) and very hard to support a short neck, so my head was painfully dangling above the center's indentation. I had to doctor the neck-support portion of the pillow. I cut through the material and removed a good deal of the polyester, rendering the neck-support portion narrower and a bit softer. This is a great pillow now, as it accommodates my short neck, as well as provide me with support when lying on my side. If the company offered a memory-foam option of this pillow design - it would be a hit.Customer Review: Does what it is supposed to do.
Summary: 4 Stars
My Chiropracter had recommended this pillow to improve the arch in my neck. I was having a lot of neck stiffness in the morning when I woke up. After trying several pillows with no sucess, I gave the Tri-core a whirl. It took a couple of nights to get used to. After the 3rd or 4th night, a lot of my neck pain was gone. I can turn my head side to side much easier. I wouldn't say that the improvement was dramatic but it was noticable. You do have to move to the sides of the pillow to sleep on your side which can be a little uncomfortable in the middle of the night. I find that the pillow does cradle the neck comfortably. It's well constructed. We'll see how it holds up long term. Overall, I am happy with the purchase and I feel it is priced reasonably.Customer Review: caused more neck pain
Summary: 2 Stars
Saw this while trying to find pillow to support my arthritic neck and thought "A HA!!!" Very disappointed when tried it; I gave it a month to see if my muscles could adapt...no way! I'm a back sleeper and I can't get my head into the hollow without having to get my shoulders on top of the side supports and thats very uncomfortable and eventually they slip off the sides and my neck is bent forward. The neck supports for back sleepers are just TOO WIDE and I am 5'7".
I've been thinking of doing some "surgery" on this and make the neck supports thinner so I can use this without having to strain my shoulders and neck. That's a lot of work and may not be possible so my search for a good neck support pillow continues.
