Tri-Core Pillows - Standard Size Models

I've tried many Orthopedic pillows since my neck was injured in a car accident over a year ago, but this is the first one to fully deliver on its claims. My pain has decreased by about 80% since I started using this pillow. I have not experienced this with any of the other neck rolls or orthopedic pillows that I have tried. As an aside, I also purchased an inversion table and I use that in addition to this pillow. On the days when I still have pain, I use the inversion table for traction and the pain relief is usually instantaneous. As other reviewers have noted, this pillow was not comfortable for the first few days. Lots of pressure on the base of my skull and on my ears from the "lobes" would cause those areas to be a bit sore in the morning. However, my intense neck pain was so significantly alleviated that I decided to stick with it to see if my body would adapt to the pillow. After about a week, the "pressure" issues disappeared and the neck relief benefits remained. I've been using the pillow for about a month and recently purchased one for my husband as well.

Update! We have now had these pillows for several months and still love them! We are side *and* back sleepers and find this pillow very comfortable for both. When side-sleeping, we roll onto the side lobes which are firm enough to keep our heads well supported and in good alignment, yet not too firm as to be uncomfortable. When back sleeping, we just roll back to the middle pocket.

I'm a chiropractor and I sell this in my office. I sell it because I began personally using it and it was hands down the best pillow I've ever had. I read the reviews about too big, too hard, etc. There is a period which you have to go through to get your neck use to the pillow. Chiropractic adjustments will help during this period. I recommend, if the pillow hurts or seems too big, begin with a rolled up towel, gradually increasing the size of the roll until your neck adapts to the reintroduction of your cervical curve. Note this pillow has a roll of different diameter on opposite sides. If it doesn't feel like enough support, simply flip over to the larger roll. My neck seems to change on a day to day basis. Sometimes the small roll does not have enough support, and sometimes the large roll seems like too much. I also recommend the gentle over the standard. The petite core are better for children. Even women and small adults should be able to use the standard size.

I have a bad neck and I've tried every contour/ortho pillow under the sun despite the cost. I had finally found one and stuck with it for several years (contour cloud) but it had to be replaced every 4-5 months because it would flatten after a while. I decided to try one of these tricore pillows and I must admit that it took me longer than usual to get used to it. I almost gave up on it, but after two weeks I was sleeping like a baby and waking without pain. I would suggest starting with the smaller, softer one (midcore) pillow and then progressing to the tricore. I started with the firm one and I think that was my mistake. I'm ordering another for traveling.

I didn't have any neck pain to relieve when I bought this pillow. I chose it because I thought it would provide a sort of head-cradling feel, which I like. In retrospect, that was an unrealistic expectation.

It's a very well-made pillow, but this firm version is *really* firm. Also, it puts too much pressure on the base of my skull--I'm guessing that even the narrower of the two "lobes" is too wide for the length of my neck. (I'm 5' 3".)

If you really love firm pillows, or if your doctor recommends this type of pillow, go for it. But if you're just a casual shopper looking for a comfy pillow, this might not be the one for you.

It is a good firm pillow, but only if you sleep on your back. If you roll onto your side like I do in the middle of the night, the design seem to fold in my face.
