I have to admit that at first, I wasn't too sure about this pillow.  It felt like it wasn't soft enough and I couldn't get comfortable.  That being said, my old pillow felt even worse so I decided to give it another try.  I'm so glad that I did because It turned out to be the best pillow I've ever used.  It doesn't matter whether I sleep on my side, stomach, or back, my neck is never strained and I no longer wake up with a stiff neck.  I highly recommend giving this pillow a try.  It's one of the best purchases I've made and has helped me to get a better night's sleep!
