Demelon Multipurpose Cervical Neck Pillow

I have had my neck pillow for several months now. This has been the best pillow to handle the neck pain I have when laying down. I just found out this week that my neck pain I have been having is from 4 herniated disc in my neck. I’m bummed out about the news. But this pillow has been a lifesaver for my sleep. Thank you to the makers of this pillow. The foam that it is made out of is definitely not some cheap foam. It has the right amount of firmness to it. My neck squishes it some but leaves that right amount space needed to take off the pressure in my neck so that my head can rest. Like if you ever had a pillow and you need some of that pillow to feel like it’s really going to fill in your neck so that your head can rest on it so that neck pain can go away but it doesn’t. Then this is the perfect pillow. It stays it shape and has not lost any of it’s strength due to wear and tare of using it. I’ve had this for several months and it is going strong. Sometimes I need it for my back pain as well. I’m a side sleeper so the wedge shape that it has you put the wedge in your back and if your back leans into it some it feels good because that pressure is taken off without losing it’s strength while still being soft. I should also mention that no matter what side you sleep on my neck feels sooo good. Buy this pillow right now. DO NOT LOOK AT ANYMORE OF THE THOUSANDS OF NECK PILLOWS. THIS IS IT. I have tried others and unfortunately had to return before a week is up. I’m in love! If you are a back sleeper, you can as well put it right where you hurt to take some of that pressure off as well.

I have had many pillows recently as I try to find something that works for me. I have mostly been a side sleeper but lately have wanted to start working on back sleeping to improve my neck alignment. This effort got put on super rush recently when I got injured with two cervical TP fractures and a disc bulge that partially pinched the nerve to my left arm. Suddenly sleeping was nearly impossible because of the pain and none of my crazy pillows (wife's term) put my neck in a neutral enough position to where i could sleep without also causing pain by pressuring the fracture areas. The benefit of all my prior pillow experiments is that i had a pretty good idea of the features i needed in a pillow, i just didnt have one pillow that combined them all. After doom scrolling amazon's results for 'cervical pillow' for what seemed like hours, i came up on this little guy. Seemed simple enough and appeared to have the major features i wanted. Made of a memory foam that was supportive but also had some give so it wouldnt hurt my TP fracture spots. The high part was squared off enough to provide immediate neck aupport when i have my shoulders up against it. A small crevice spot to help cradle the neck. The tapering off of the head suppprt is just right to create that slight traction effect on the neck. And this is easy to stack on top of something if more height is needed (another flat pillow, a folded towel, etc...). Anyways, after 2 weeks of using this now it was a gold strike. I got immediate relief from my injury pain and was able to finally sleep through the night. The pillow is comfortable enough and shaped right so there are no hot spots after laying in the same position for hours and it puts no pressure on my fractures so no pain there. Because of the firmness i am also able to side sleep without pain. Although for the first time ever i am finding that i spend the vast majorty of the night sleeping on my back and not moving at all. This has been a huge win for me and at such relatively low cost. I am very glad i bought this and will be using it long after my injuries heal because of how well it maintains neck alignment and how comfortable it is. I am very glad i tried this!

Best pillow for cervical issues. Woke up the 1st morning after using this pillow with no neck pain. Absolutely great pillow. My sleep has been much better since using this pillow. I recommend this pillow100%

Update: After a while I started to notice I was getting a lot of tension headaches. It was too hard to stay centered perfectly and the sides are high enough to put your neck in uncomfortable positions. I deal with a lot of pain and discomfort when at rest in bed, so I started to use this pillow under my knees and sometimes right under my butt- that felt really good and took a lot of pressure off my joints. I decided to use the pillow for that only but then purchased another in hopes the first one was a one-off fluke. The neck pain and headaches quickly resumed. One night, I accidentally flipped the pillow the wrong way and it felt amazing. So now, I can sleep with this pillow again and even sit up in bed. Basically you have to use it upside down. This keeps my head centered and also is way more comfortable on my neck for extended periods of time. This may not work for all but if you’re finding the original orientation too stressful on your neck use it the other way, like a wedge from the top of your shoulders- much better! I had my doubts as it’s not much material but this little pillow made my night very comfortable. An underrated thing about this pillow- its small size and light composition allows me to feel the vibrations in my massage bed. My other cervical neck pillow was bulky and made it hard to reposition with my adjustable bed. It also blocked any vibration from the massages. This little pillow felt like an extension of my mattress and allowed me to not only sit comfortably with no pain, but actually enjoy the massage as well. I have not slept on it yet but I am excited to based on how much more comfortable it is just sitting in bed. It cradles your neck just right and does not push you into awkward angles. I also did not find it too lax. It’s just the right amount of give and support, and I have a very picky neck lol. I will update with my experience sleeping with this later. Update: This really works well! The first night’s sleep was awkward because it is very easy to get unaligned with the dip for the neck to be cradled. That’s my only criticism- the area should be more defined than it is. If you stray from the center at all it will cause more neck pain. Once I got used to staying centered on the pillow it was great. I had to get used to waking up without a trace of pain or tightness in my neck and shoulders. That’s an amazing feeling!

I am sharing my detailed review because I realized (the hard way) that getting good quality sleep at night is such an important thing. Unfortunately, many people may not even realize that some of their health issues, high irritability, or low energy/willpower are due to the poor quality of their sleep (even if they are sleeping for enough duration). After several trial and error attempts (sleep tracking for over a year), I figured out that my frequent morning headache was either due to snoring or due to sleeping on my tummy and twisting my neck throughout the night. To avoid twisting my neck, I trained myself to sleep on my back. However, it made my snoring worse. Turns out, sleeping on the back is known to make snoring worse. At the same time, sleeping on my back felt really good for my body, especially for my neck. Then, I figure out that snoring becomes worse because of using traditional pillows. These traditional pillows lift our heads too high, causing the critical air passage to constrict, and that triggers or worsens snoring. I tried different head positions and figured out the head-neck alignment that caused the least constriction for airflow. This ideal head-neck alignment was when my chin is slightly upwards (i.e. pushing my head backward), causing my throat to sorta open up, thus avoiding the collapse of the critical airway. I just couldn't understand how a traditional pillow would achieve this. So, I searched for a wedge-shaped pillow that can achieve the posture I was looking for. To my surprise, there weren't many wedge-shaped pillows. Almost all were those brick-like orthopedic pillows (I tried these types first. IMO, these are worse than traditional pillows. These are uncomfortable and make things worse). Finally, I found this magical pillow. There were reviews, photos, and videos that showed that this pillow is soft, but not too soft to not give enough support. The fabric also looked comfortable. So, I decided to give this a try. Bingo! my theory worked and this turned out to be one of my best purchases that literally improved the quality of my life. I have been using this pillow every night for the last two months. It solved my morning headache problem. Now, I sleep well and wake up with lots of energy and motivation. I have been tracking my sleep quality using a tracker, but I don't even have to check the results because I know from my direct experience that I sleep well at night. I also noticed that if my sleep quality is less, I just don't need to sleep for too long. Some additional notes. Even though I try to sleep on my back, towards the last stages of sleep, there is a strong urge to sleep on my tummy. Even in that case, I found this pillow to be comfortable for tummy sleeping. Ideally, just to change positions, I am trying to sleep on my side instead of my tummy. For side sleeping, this is perfect.

I feel like I've had this a lot longer than I have. It's not been quite two weeks, and I have noticed a difference almost immediately. To back track, I had a very poor bed months ago that I absolutely loved but I was pretty close to feeling the springs so when a friend of mine offered me a new bed that was used for a week, I jumped. My new bed was super comfy but I just kept waking up every morning with the sore neck shoulders and upper back like a hanger. I love my pillows and did not have this painful problem with my previous bed/pullow situation. I really didn't have the money to buy a new bed or buy new pillows or anything. But I bought this because I was desperate for some relief. After 4 months I couldn't take it anymore. It hurt to roll over it, hurt to get out of bed. It was just so painful. This magic little pillow arrived and I was skeptical because I was just so afraid nothing would work and I'd always be pained. I noticed relief immediately. I have not quite figured out how to lay on my side with it properly, because when my neck is in the right position I feel like my head is tilted towards the floor. Aside from that, I have started sleeping on my back more though I am 95% side sleeper. I might have to seek out the extra insert and see if thar helps me more. The only problem I have is that two of my cats also like this pillow, so I might need to buy another. I can kick one-off, no problem, he's a piece of cake he'll sleep anywhere but the other one I just don't have the heart to make her move even if it causes me pain. I would highly recommend trying this out if you are having upper back/shoulder/neck pain. It really can't hurt more than the pain that you're already dealing with.

First, did not arrive on time. Not a big deal, except, I had already canceled it, and, it came a few days later, anyway. Wearimg a lable that said "overnight shipping" . When tracking delivery, the delay reason was wet weather. If you are ordering items and counting on delivery as stated, because . . . 1. You won't be home, 2. You are trying to beat bad weather. 3. You are an impulse buyer who needs delivery before common sense kicks in. 4. You need delivery before your husband gets home. . . .then, you will not be happy with the delay in "overnight delivery". It arrived in a box. Top of box covered with tape lable that stated that the item was unsellable if the tape had bern broken. I mention that because the bottom of the box was not taped the same way, and, it was a folded pull out flaps type of bottom, meaning that anybody could have neatly opened and reclosed the box. As far as product expectations go, it DID NOT meet my expectations and purchase reason based upon the pictures or description on Amazon. I was looking for a pillow that had an indentation for the back of your head to sit into, so that your head was in a "zero gravity" neutral position. The picture made it look like the person's neck was neatly cradled and the head was nicely supported and NOT being pushed upward. . . .which pushes your chin toward your chest. That isn't the case AT ALL. The neck indentation is barely an indentation. Your neck isn't going to be supported in a little cradle spot. Your head is NOT going to be neutral at all as there isn't any design for that. It's a pillow. It's foam. It's covered. It's not a plush, soft cover. It a soft cover with a rather abrasive/irritating pattern. It's not goi ng to do what I want as a back sleeper. It DID work as a bed pillow in the electric bed while in the "sitting upright position" to crochet, comfortably. I would not recommend this product if you are buying it because you are hoping for a pain free might with your head supported, your neck not pushing your chin toward your chest, or, an open airway with your neck cradled.

This pillow is the greatest thing I’ve purchased ever. It’s great for back or side sleeping. I never have to adjust. I fall asleep immediately and stay asleep all night. It even helps with my lower back because I’m aligned. I bought a new mattress before this pillow and my back was still hurting because my pillows weren’t working right. This pillow was the missing piece to the sleeping puzzle. I’m buying a second one for my son because he’s trying to keep mine.

Is it smaller than I imagined? Yes. Is the neck valley not very pronounced? Yes. Have I gotten really good nights rest with this? Yes! I usually don’t sleep on my back but I can feel my airway staying open when I actually sleep on my back which keeps me from snoring. I eventually switch to my side and the elevated portion on either side of the neck valley of the pillow are a really good height for my shoulder depth to keep my head parallel with my spine. I will also say that this pillow isn’t as luxurious as a regular pillow in terms of plushness bc it’s very firm. It’s not lay my head on a cloud and fall right asleep but it’s a trade off I’ll take for being able to sleep throughout the night once I settle in.

I usually wouldn't go into specifics on an item like this, because my neck isn't your neck. All I can say is I don't understand the banner that says it is a "frequently returned" item, but has a 71% 5-star rating. This is simply the best cervical pillow I've ever tried and I've tried A LOT. After my first one, I bought one for use in hotels because it's small enough for my luggage and worth the improved sleep on vacation. I then purchased two more, just in case that "frequently returned" turns into Amazon not carrying them anymore. I can now sleep at night on my comfy pillow knowing I have back-ups.
