Customer Reviews of Tri-Core Orthopedic Standard Size Support Pillow - Standard Support
Customer Review: Great pillow!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this pillow. I was waking up with terrible knots in my shoulders that would cause pain in my neck. I haven't had that problem since I started using this pillow. I loved it immediately - I did not require an adjustment period. I would recommend this pillow to anyone and everyone!Customer Review: Neck injury pain relief (this pillow and an inversion table)
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried many Orthopedic pillows since my neck was injured in a car accident over a year ago, but this is the first one to fully deliver on its claims. My pain has decreased by about 80% since I started using this pillow. I have not experienced this with any of the other neck rolls or orthopedic pillows that I have tried. As an aside, I also purchased an inversion table and I use that in addition to this pillow. On the days when I still have pain, I use the inversion table for traction and the pain relief is usually instantaneous. As other reviewers have noted, this pillow was not comfortable for the first few days. Lots of pressure on the base of my skull and on my ears from the "lobes" would cause those areas to be a bit sore in the morning. However, my intense neck pain was so significantly alleviated that I decided to stick with it to see if my body would adapt to the pillow. After about a week, the "pressure" issues disappeared and the neck relief benefits remained. I've been using the pillow for about a month and recently purchased one for my husband as well.

Customer Review: My neck never felt so good...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this pillow following the advice of my chiropractor. Although I used to be a stomach-sleeper, I have had to transition to sleeping on my back or on my side. After years of awaking with a sore neck, and struggling with a severely reduced side-to-side turning radius, I am glad to write that this pillow has significantly improved my mobility and reduced the pain I used to feel. The reduction in pain more than compensates for having to sleep on my back. My wife has also noted that I snore less now that I have this pillow. Customer Review: Must Have!

Wife has been using these for years, even travels with one.
My time has come as well, loved it the first night I used it.
Can't see sleeping without it now.
Customer Review: Wonderful pillow, relieved neck pain
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased one of these tri-core pillows with a great deal of skepticism but out of desperation to help my neck pain. I had tried various sleeping positions, tried different "regular" pillows of varying softness, tried long neck and shoulder stretches, and tried some basic exercises and weight training specifically for the neck and shoulder muscles. My neck's range of motion was limited to about 45? in either direction and I felt sharp twinges it I tried to extend further. This affected many day-to-day activities, but most of all it made driving difficult, as looking over my shoulders became an exercise in twisting my upper body and shoulders to be able to look far enough.
When the pillow arrived, it had a foul chemical odor, but washing it by hand with regular clothing detergent eliminated any bad smells. I had to let the pillow dry for a full two days, and afterwards I put it to proper use. The very first night, I slept on my back for the first time in as many months as I could remember. My neck and back pain had meant I could only comfortably sleep on my side or belly, but this pillow immediately relieved enough pain for a full night's rest on my back. I soon alternated sleeping on my sides, but it's worth noting that you have to shift the pillow slightly off-center for proper head and neck support when sleeping on your side.
After about a week or two with my new pillow, my neck pain had faded away and my range of motion had been restored. I was amazed that a simple change in sleep support like this could have such a dramatic effect on me and my health. I've been using this pillow for several months now and, after borrowing it a few times, my wife said she loved it and we bought one for her too. By far this has been the best low-cost investment in our long-term health and I would strongly recommend it to anyone else with neck, shoulder, and back pain.
