I purchased three of these pillows for my mom who has back issues resulting from a break.  She needs pillows to make herself comfortable.  She is in love with these pillows. Great, comfortable support.  I ended up keeping one of the pillows too.  I couldnt help myself.  I really recommend this pillow.  I know it costs a bit more, but it really is worth it!!!  Consider you spend a third of your life sleeping--- you deserve this too!!!
