Carex Round Cervical Pillow

On the hunt for a replacement cervical pillow, we decided to try this one since it was memory foam. (we have other memory foam products, with which we are very pleased) Sadly, this one is still too firm for my husband's neck but again, this is so subjective. This pillow is also very short (12"), which was an attribute for us for travel and home. Unfortunately, we returned it because the firmness issue. It has a dark blue, soft cover with a textured pattern. It is attractive. According to other reviewers, the cover is removable (I don't recall confirming that and now it's been returned).

Because the foam is heat sensitive, this roll can be quite firm to begin with so isn't ideal immediately, but it's won me over. Here's why. I find a neck roll suits me better than a pillow at night because my hair doesn't end up mashed to my head, but finding the right type of support for both back and side sleeping is really a challenge.

I have tried four different types of rolls, one of which is a U shaped neck support thing from BB&B that I love for back sleeping at night in the winter because the size and support is good and it keeps my neck warm (it's by Bedding Essentials and isn't sold on Amazon), but when I turn over it doesn't work anymore so I set out to find a roll that would work. My first requirement was that the roll not be too long because then my hair is still mashed and since I'm retired I don't want to wash and restyle it every day. 12" seemed good so I tried three rolls of that length. One, a firm density lumbar roll was far too firm for neck support and was sent back, the second is a simple 12" x 5" foam roll. It is also quite firm although better. It has only a cheap fabric covering though with not even a zipper to close it. I'm not impressed.

This roll has a far more comfortable soft fabric covering that zips closed. When you first lay back against the pillow, it's quite firm, some may think too firm, in fact, when it was delivered and had sat outside in the cold for a while it was like a stone. But when it warms from your body heat, it softens quite pleasantly to conform to your shape. I put it under the blankets in my bed and when I turn on my side at night, I grab it for my pillow. Then it is just right as the foam compresses nicely to give the right amount of comfort and good support. And best of all, it accommodates my ear nicely so my ear is never sore or itchy in the morning as has happened with firmer rolls. Also the pillow doesn't seem to aggravate my rosacea which is made worse by too much heat.

While this pillow is not perfect and I wouldn't choose it for traveling because it needs time to warm up, it's the best I've found so far for nighttime.

I got a cervical pillow years ago but it smashed down to nothing. I replaced it with this one, a little afraid that it would be too hard, based on other reviews here. What I found when using mine is that once it warms up from your body heat, it just contours to your spine and provides really comfortable SUPPORT which is what it is supposed to do. If it was too soft, it would defeat the purpose. I love this pillow, and it travels well since it is small enough. IF you have neck and shoulder pain (by your shoulder blades) this may be what you've been looking for. Excellent product!! Great value!! Thanks!!

I bought this pillow to put in my car seat because I need support for my lower back. It worked great in the summer, but as soon as it gets cold it is hard as a rock! Still looking for something to use during the winter months.

The previous reviewer must sleep on rocks! This memory form pillow is certainly not soft to me--in fact the form can be just a little too firm but it does contour to support my neck better than anything else I've found so far.
