 I forgot how good it was until I used other pillows! Oct 20, 2009
By Rogue
I bought one of these about 5 years ago and now that it has worn down, I decided it was time for a new pillow. But before I decided to purchase another one, I wanted to see what else was out there. I tried a microbead pillow, a down pillow, another brand of memory foam pillow, and a regular pillow with synthetic filling. NONE of them were as good as the Contour Cloud. With the other pillows, I kept waking up with shoulder pain or a headache, or just plain feeling like I hadn't slept well.
I sleep on my side and on my back, and if I'm restless for one reason or another then I'll sleep on my stomach. This pillow works for all of those positions, but is best for side and back sleepers. Many of the other memory foam pillows are just to thick for sleeping on your stomach, but this one isn't. If you sleep on your side, the notch on one side is great for supporting your neck, but also allows your entire face to be in the curve where your head is instead of being smashed up against the neck support.
If you like really, really soft pillows then this probably isn't for you, and you're probably someone who has to visit the Chiropractor on a regular basis, or has creases on your face when you wake up. This pillow will align your spine properly so you won't wake up with shoulder pain or headaches and your face doesn't drown in fluff.
If you're a larger individual, then I'd suggest going to [...] and ordering a larger one. I believe they come in three different sizes. The one here on Amazon is the 'Standard.' As for me, I'm now waiting for my second one to come in the mail, and am hoping it comes as soon as possible. I miss my sleep!

Hard but Great Feb 04, 2008
By Leah

As other reviewers note, this is a very firm pillow. it's not soft or squishy in any way, but as soon as I put my head on it I knew my neck and back were in the right position. I struggle with neck-aches in the morning, and I really think this is making a difference. I am a tummy sleeper, but on this pillow I'm trying to sleep on my side or back. It's a good product for a great price. Oh, one more thing, this is a smallish pillow - even a standard pillow case is big for it.

good night's sleep Jun 18, 2009
By Picky Consumer
I've tried a few different contour/memory pillows by now. This one worked well for me. There are a couple of differentiating features here.
-its not as stiff as some other contour pillows i've tried. While I might have preferred it a bit more firm, its not too soft either. And anyway I put a regular down pillow on top of it (since i always sleep on two pillows). Regardless, it does straighten out my neck when I sleep (and raises my head so its in a straight line with my body when I sleep on my side). Its extremely comfortable. It does this much better than two 'regular' pillows would, because the 'contour' works and can be felt even if you put a regular pillow over it as I did.
-Its got this 'cut out' thing on the front side, which actually works well. Its there in case you want to lie on your back, then you dont have that huge hump (or bump, aka 'the contour' in the contour pillow) against your neck. So when I roll over and lie on my back or stomach, it doesnt feel uncomfortable. Other contour pillows i've tried did not have that 'cut out' and DID feel uncomfortable unless you stay on your side. So here too this pillow worked well.
-As others have reported, there is a faint petroleum smell from either the pillow or from the cover it comes with. Maybe it needs a wash first, and some airing out - but in my case the smell was faint enough that when I put a pillow case over it, it did not bother me, so I left it as is.
Overall, I slept like a baby last night using it for the first time, and so I'm mightily impressed so far. I'm glad I got it even tho its more than I've ever paid for a pillow before; I can rationalize it easily if my sleep habits improve even a little bit.

Great neck support... Jan 19, 2008
By Sentinel
Great neck support for a good evening's rest. Got it as a present for my brother to replace his old one and he immediately liked this one, minus the fact that the pillow has a "new, out of the bag" smell lasting a little longer than it should.
I chose to buy it on Amazon than the Contour site b/c of S&H. It turns out to be cheaper on Amazon if you buy more than one.

 Comfortable but STINKY!!! Apr 21, 2008
By Holly B
"Bus"
I bought this pillow for my husband. It took a little getting used to comfort-wise, but the hardest part was tolerating the smell! We had to air it out for days to get rid of the "chemical smell" emanating from the pillow.
