Making a huge difference in my life
This review is for the blue cloud tri-core pillow. I am an average-sized woman with a largish head and shortish neck, which I mention in case that helps someone else choose a pillow size.<br /><br />I was always a stomach-sleeper, which was so cozy and comfortable for me for 38 years, but I believe it contributed to my current neck problems. A few months ago, I began to have debilitating pain in my neck that made it impossible to even turn my head. I saw an orthopedist, who told me that my neck vertebrae were on the verge of rupture. She recommended a cylindrical neck pillow from a big box and beyond store, so I bought one.<br /><br />I found it really impossible to sleep on that cylindrical thing. First of all, it rolled out from under my neck a hundred times a night. And it made me snore -- the angle of my head caused my mouth to fall open while I was sleeping, so I would wake with a sore throat. Also, staying on my back was the only option; if I tried to roll to my side, it caused intense pain. I went back to sleeping on my regular pillow, but on my side. (I can no longer sleep on my stomach, which vexes me.) My neck pain was still horrible every morning when I awoke.<br /><br />I saw this pretty cloud pillow online and hoped it would be the answer to my prayers. So far, it is! I've had it for a couple of weeks, and by the third day, I was used to sleeping on it, and my neck pain is absent for the first time in months. I start out sleeping on my back, but rolling onto my right side or left side no longer causes problems because the pillow is firm enough to support side-sleeping. I have also stopped waking up with a sore throat, so I think this pillow isn't causing me to snore even when I have to be on my back.
