Customer Reviews of Core Products * Tri-core Cervical Pillow - Standard
Customer Review: Handles the problem
Summary: 4 Stars
For me, this is the one. With a normal pillow, I often wake up with a stiff neck and/or a headache. Once the neck is out, the lower back isn't far behind. The Tri-Core standard size support pillow handles this. Within 3 days of using it the stiff neck and headaches are a fading memory. (As a side note, I use the narrow side for my neck with the wide side of the pillow between my head and the headboard. I've tried the wide side and it produces the same stiff neck, etc as a normal pillow.)
The only reason why this doesn't rate 5 stars is because, contrary to claims I've read, the narrow support flattens down after about 6 months and I need to replace the pillow. Small price to pay for a healthy neck and back.
Customer Review: Longer than usual to get used to
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a bad neck and I've tried every contour/ortho pillow under the sun despite the cost. I had finally found one and stuck with it for several years (contour cloud) but it had to be replaced every 4-5 months because it would flatten after a while. I decided to try one of these tricore pillows and I must admit that it took me longer than usual to get used to it. I almost gave up on it, but after two weeks I was sleeping like a baby and waking without pain. I would suggest starting with the smaller, softer one (midcore) pillow and then progressing to the tricore. I started with the firm one and I think that was my mistake. I'm ordering another for traveling.Customer Review: Pay Attention!
Summary: 1 Stars
In the Amazon search bar I typed "Snore Pillow". The results were displayed and I began my search. The objective was to find the cheapest, yet highly rated snore pillow Amazon had available. Believing the first step, typing in "Snore Pillow", was complete, I whittled through the results till I was left with this thing. This is not a snore pillow, nor is it anything that functions as a snore pillow. Every night I lay in bed listening to the wife's (beautiful and sexy) train whistle, I am reminded how much of a snore pillow this pillow is NOT.
PS. I would make a vid to prove it but knowing I would be risking life and limb it didn't seem worth it.
Customer Review: Nice pillow, just not for me
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered this pillow hoping that it would help me to comfortably sleep on my back. After reading other reviews, it seemed like a good choice for me. However, when I used it the night it arrived, I woke to terrible neck pain. I found the area between the edge of the pillow and the concaved area for the head, to be too long. My neck was being stretched to fit into the pillow correctly. Since this is my individual experience, and had probably more to do with my anatomy, I would still recommend the pillow. The quality was good and perhaps for a taller or larger person, the fit would be perfect. It is a stiff pillow, definitely on the extra firm side.Customer Review: Well-Constructed, But Geared for Special Needs
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't have any neck pain to relieve when I bought this pillow. I chose it because I thought it would provide a sort of head-cradling feel, which I like. In retrospect, that was an unrealistic expectation.
It's a very well-made pillow, but this firm version is *really* firm. Also, it puts too much pressure on the base of my skull--I'm guessing that even the narrower of the two "lobes" is too wide for the length of my neck. (I'm 5' 3".)
If you really love firm pillows, or if your doctor recommends this type of pillow, go for it. But if you're just a casual shopper looking for a comfy pillow, this might not be the one for you.
