Eli & ElmUltimate Side Sleeper Pillow with Adjustable Filler to Get The Perfect Contour Curved Pillow for A Neck Pain Relief Sleep - Removable Latex and Polyester Filling (Pillow & Pillow Case)

I ABSOLUTELY thought the shape of this pillow was a gimmick, but I had gotten sick of how the Pillow Cube didn’t work if I ever turned onto my back or stomach during the night—that sweet 90* angle doesn’t do well on your vertebrae!—and was somehow always too high or too low of an angle for comfort.So I tried one of those “customizable” pillows that is 3-in-1, and I spent a painful few weeks jamming up my shoulder in a fruitless attempt to match the high point of the pillow with the side of my head: either my neck had no support, or I was tensing my shoulder against the pillow all night trying to keep it where I needed it.Then I tried one of those “cervical spine” pillows that looks like it came out of a sleep study in Picasso’s cubist period. No matter what, I couldn’t figure out where the makers *think* heads go or how they think necks work, because it made no sense and was even less comfortable.So I am at the end of my rope: exhausted, waking up in pain, constantly getting the crick out of my neck, and generally tired of doing battle with a bundle of cotton in exchange for a bad night’s sleep.It’s in THAT desperation that I say what the heck, I’ll try your dumb pillow with its bow tie shape. It’ll never work. The saga will continue…UNTIL IT DID. THE PILLOW WORKED!! The indent on the bottom means my shoulder doesn’t have to fight the pillow for position. The really sturdy loft and even distribution means my neck always has a comfortable angle. The way it slightly slopes toward the bottom corners means I can lie this way and that without having to shift the pillow with me. The indent at the bottom means there’s no pressure on my upper back if I end up sleeping face up, and an easy little space to sneak into if I end up sleeping face down.I have been a miserable side-sleeper for SO LONG, but that story is over now. This silly-shaped pillow is the answer for side-sleepers who just want a comfortable night of sleep without fighting and to wake up less fatigued. FINALLY!

This pillow did make side sleeping more comfortable compared to my Tempur contour pillow. But I am a 5’2” female with relatively wide shoulders. I cannot see how the fill is enough for anyone taller /wider than me. I wish the manufacturer would sell the pillow with more fill and allow people my size to remove the “excess”.

This pillow is very expensive, but worth every dollar. My neck has never been so supported (as a life long side sleeper). Highly recommend to all side sleepers

Great pillow for sleeping without any neck pain.

So the shape is amazing. Love it. All pillows should be shaped for human heads, and not rectangles.But the firmness.... Out of the box, it's way too firm. Too much stuffing. My ear hurt after I woke up. So I took a bunch of the stuffing out. Then it was lumpy. Then I reorganized it to be less lumpy... but it was still lumpy. Tried to move the stuffing around, mulch it up with my hands, add more back in, shift it around... it's just lumpy and still more firm that it should be. It just doesn't give, and I wish I had returned it for this price.As for temperature, I use the pillow case it came with, and I think it's relatively breathable. It's not particularly cool, but it's not heat trapping.
