It works, but.... Jul 23, 2007
By Tierra
I've been sleeping on this pillow for about 3-4 days now, and I although it has helped my neck pain considerably, I find that I am unable to fall asleep deeply while using it. I end up switching to a regular pillow halfway through the night. Knowing this, I probably still would have purchased it, but perhaps I would have chosen the "gentle" version instead. I do want to say that the Tri-Core pillow is large and seems very well-made. It barely fits into my standard size pillowcase. I was impressed with its construction.

 I've been sleeping with this for over a DECADE! Jun 01, 2007
By Fire Wife and Mom
"A Mom who knows"
I started using these pillows in 1992 at the request of my chiropractor. Now I can't sleep without it. In the past 15 years I have gone through several. They hold up well. Well worth the investment!

Great neck support Aug 26, 2009
By Christopher Pilon
Purchased the pillow last week, arrived yesterday as promised by Amazon. I thought the $33 price w/free super saver shipping was a good value vs. $49 retail at Tri-Core's website. My chiropractor, who recommended this pillow, was selling the smaller petite version for $49. Thank you Amazon!
After just one night of sleep, I am happy to say that I slept much better than I normally do. It's hard to say if that's because of the pillow, obviously too early to draw any conclusions but am optimistic and happy so far. One thing I noticed was how stationary I slept, I did not toss and turn like I usually do, and my neck, which is often stiff, felt great this morning. I also slept on my back for part of the night, which my chiropractor recommends for better alignment and reduction of stress on the neck/back. I typically sleep on my side or stomach because I don't find back sleeping comfortable; however, I felt much more comfortable on my back with the Tri-Core pillow. Another thing I noticed was that I only had to use this pillow. Normally, I would sleep with two and sometimes three pillows to get comfortable, mostly to get the neck support I needed. That method would work for an hour or two, but the pillows would end up all over the place (because of tossing and turning) and I would often wake up with a stiff neck (and not very well rested).
The "standard" model is firm like other reviewers have noted. I have slept on more comfortable feeling pillows but I didn't buy this to be plush comfortable, I bought this for proper neck support (which this pillow definitely provides). Personally, I didn't have a problem with the firmness since I need the support for my neck. I thought the pillow worked fine for side sleeping, but you need to use the sides of the pillow for that, not the hollowed-out center (which is designed for back sleeping). Sounds like some of the reviewers who commented negatively about the pillow and side sleeping were not using the pillow correctly, the instructions were pretty clear that the center is only used for back sleeping. Also note that there are two sides to pillow with different widths and levels of support, again this noted on the instructions. I believe one of the reviewers was a chiropractor and noted this as well, which gives you options to get comfortable. I agree it may take a few nights to adjust, this pillow feels different than anything I have used before.
Good luck with your search for that right pillow, as a chronic insomniac I have looked long and hard for the right one. I pretty much gave up until the recommendation from my chiropractor to buy the Tri-Core. I definitely recommend this Tri-Core pillow for those looking for better neck support and for those who need help staying in optimal sleeping position (back or side vs. stomach).

Awesome pillow! May 26, 2007
By deannaot
This pillow is the most comfortable pillow I have ever slept on. It is so supportive of my neck, and it also relaxes my jaw. Highly recommended for neck problems.

Tri-Core Standard Orthopedic Pillow Jan 14, 2008
By Charles A. Hunter
Was purchased for my wife. She was having problems with her neck. Doctors wanted her to sleep on her back. Regular pillow didn't work. This pillow allows her to sleep in confort on back which has great reduced neck pain.
