I had trouble sleeping for the first week using this pillow. It was a bit higher than my old pillow, but I knew I needed to give it a chance. After the first week it started to feel more comfortable, and my neck pain eased a little. I have also been told I am snoring less, so that's a bonus. I would say this pillow is good, if a tiny bit tall for a 5 foot tall woman, but I'm glad I stuck with it.
