Nice pillow - initially stinky! July 9, 2010

I originally purchased one of these pillows, and then another a month later for my wife.
The pillow has two different sized "humps" on either side with a depression in the middle for your head to rest in. Basically, if you've never used one of these pillows, you pick whichever "hump" feels better resting your neck on. No matter how you sleep (back, side, stomach, hanging upside-down) all you do is make sure your head lies in the depression and the "hump" is pressing right into your neck.
The pillow comes with a zippered case, but I highly recommend that you use your own pillow case over the included one. It's easier to remove and launder your own case.
I read another review of this pillow (I think it was this one) where the reviewer was complaining about how "lightweight" the pillow felt, even though it says it's a "3-pound" pillow, so he sent it back! *containing my laughter* The pillow's foam density (3 pound) has NOTHING to do with its physical weight. 3-pound density refers to how dense/springy/stiff the pillow feels to your head when compressed by weight. I would call this "medium" in my limited experience with these type of pillows.
Here's the number one downside to this, or I will assume any, foam pillow. The SMELL! The enclosed sheet instructs you to place the pillow in an area to "air out" for 24-48 hours to let the odor subside. This is a complete joke.
Here's what I would do if I were you...
Remove the included cover and wash it -- don't put it back on the pillow yet.
Place the uncovered pillow in a room, or even out on your deck where it can't get wet and LEAVE IT THERE FOR THREE WEEKS! The smell will go away with time.
Place the cover back on the pillow, including your own pillow case, and enjoy.
Obviously, I would buy this pillow again, because I did already.
 A Great Nights Sleep June 22, 2010

I love this pillow. I was in a car accident in '06 and have had trouble sleeping ever since. I also have Primary Progressive MS and that has contributed to my sleepless nights. This pillow has made it possible for me to sleep and wake up with virtually no pain in my neck; no stiffness etc...I would recommend this pillow to anyone. The only thing I had to do was "air" it out when it first arrived; after that it was sleeping bliss!
Good for back, stomach & side sleepers (I'm all three) March 29, 2010

I was looking for a supportive but soft pillow, and I had 5 different pillows on my bed to prove it. While I like the softness of down, there is no support and it needs to be squished and smashed, etc. Firmer pillows have no give. This is a great pillow. I can sleep on my side, on my back, or on my stomach and not have to worry about neck pain the next morning. Fits standard pillow cases with no problem, comes with a soft fabric cover that zips on and off. Let it air out 24-48 hours out of the fabric cover after opening it to get rid of the chemical smell.
can't beat this pillow. great quality and great price March 19, 2010

this is the first time i am writing a review for anything on amazon. i just felt i had to inform people of this great product.
i admit this is my first memory foam pillow but i was very impressed. i usually have a problem falling asleep and getting comfortable but not after my first night with this. i wasn't sold on the memory foam concept when i first saw it but i've been convinced. also i thought the firmness of this pillow was perfect and had no issues making the transition to the memory foam world. if anything this is a great product at the price to give a memory foam pillow a try if you were always curious.
 Weird foam March 15, 2010

Weird foam feel. Not as nice as the name brand Isotonic or Tempurpedic pillows I've had in the past.
