Sleep ArtisanBack & Side Sleeper Pillow - Adjustable Luxury Pillow for Neck, Back, & Spine Pain Relief - Shredded Natural Talalay Latex Pillow - 100% Made in The USA (Contoured Queen Size)

I tried this pillow, extremely disappointed based on the reviews read.Not enough filling tn the pillow to hold up another pillow, way too low for any type of support.

I was searching for a pillow that would support my head, and reduce my shoulder and neck pain in the mornings, and this has done a great job! I have had it for 2 weeks now, and already I'm noticing the positive difference. I struggle with tight shoulder and neck muscles in general, and I also carry a lot of stress there (esp. in my shoulders). Every morning I would wake up and my muscles would be tight and sore. I am a side-sleeper, and regularly I'd have troubles getting comfortable and sleeping soundly with the pillows I was using. I've since discovered that the loft of both pillows I've had before were way too high for me. Since using this pillow, though, I have found the right adjustment for my body and sleeping position, and am very pleased with how comfortable it is and how much support it gives. The first two or three nights were a little rough, because I was experimenting with the loft in the pillow, but once I got it right, it has helped me sleep better and wake up relaxed and not sore. I was a bit surprised at the firmness of it (because the fill is so soft), but I'm actually really pleased with the support and comfort. I've always considered myself a "soft-pillow" person, but this has changed my mind! It doesn't make my ears sore when I sleep on one side or the other for a long time like some other pillows. Other reviewers have commented on the rubbery smell--I did notice that it smelled like balloons when it first arrived, but after tossing it in the dryer on low for 10 minutes, the smell reduced dramatically, and after a couple days it was pretty much gone. Occasionally, I get whiffs of it here and there, but it's not strong enough to bother me in the least (and I'm really sensitive to smells, esp. chemicals). I use a standard pillowcase with it, and it works great. No need to shell out extra money to find a fitted case. My advice to potential buyers: Be patient when experimenting with adjusting the loft of the pillow. The first few nights might be rough because you're still finding what works, but don't give up on this pillow! Once it's adjusted correctly for you, I think you'll find it very comfortable and effective in reducing muscle stiffness and soreness.UPDATE: 3/07/19I am loving this pillow more and more over time! The latex smell is entirely gone now. (Not that it was bad in the first place but I am pleased that it wasn't permanent) Still no neck and shoulder pain/stiffness in the mornings--very pleased!

Good support for short necks

I have spend over $1000 on different pillows, tempur, Dunlopillo, koala, etc. I finally found the perfect pillow with this one. It is amazing. Just perfect. The shredded latex is what I think makes the difference and definitely the shape.

A wonderful pillow, but could use a little more stuffing. Side sleepers will love this pillow. I added a neck roll inside the pillow so it fits right between my shoulder and head perfectly. There were no strange smells with this pillow and it's not too hard and not too soft; it's perfect. So far, it's worth the money considering how important a great night's sleep is for one's health.
