Snuggle-Pedic Gel Memory Foam Cooling Pillow Shredded Memory Foam Pillows for Side, Stomach & Back Sleepers - Keeps Shape - College Dorm Room Essentials for Girls and Guys - King

Since you can't make more then 1 review on a product, I have added a 2nd review of this pillow below my first. I didn't buy it for me but for my husband who has Sleep Apnea...First a little info about why I purchased this pillow for myself.I am a Disabled Veteran. I broke my neck and back while on active duty. I also have severe Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Since I broke my neck & back, I have ad 44 surgeries. 5 of those surgeries have been on my neck, and I am fused at C4/5, C5/6 and C6/7 and I have Titanium Plates and Titanium Screws in my neck <and more in my lower back!> so it takes a lot to get me comfortable. I also re-broke my neck 12 years after the first time <re-broke my back as well the same time>. I am on a long list of medication, to include having a Pain Pump surgically implanted in my body that gives me Morphine 24 hours a day.I also haven't had a decent nights sleep in over 10 years, and I usually only get anywhere from 2 to 4 hours of sleep a night, and get cat naps throughout the day.. For the past 4 years, I've been sleeping on a couch because I cannot lay flat and I need very firm support for my neck <and back too>. We've been trying to find a good mattress so I can actually sleep in my own bed, but I haven't found one that is comfortable enough and gives me enough support for my back. I also can't afford the hefty $7000 - $10,000 price tag on a Sleep Number or I Comfortbed, that would be perfect for me.I can't tell you how any pillows I've purchased over the past 25 years...but it is a ridiculous amount. Just in the past 6 months, I've bought 8 on Amazon, and at least 20 from Walmart and other stores here where I live. I have spent a LOT. The pillows I've gotten have been nice, but they go flat and get lumpy after a few weeks and don't hold up to what I need a pillow to do for me. I came back to Amazon because #1 - Icannot go shopping like most people, and # 2 - there are so many different pillows to choose from, I thought there had to be one for me.That's when I found the Snuggle Pillow made by Relief-Mart. I read all of the reviews, which aren't many, and made the decision to try it out. How many companies will let you try out a pillow for 90 days, and if you're not satisfied - you can send it back for a refund?? None that I know of. So yes, this pillow is pricey and I don't make a lot of money from my disability pay and $70 is a lot for me to shell out for a pillow, but if I don't like it I can get my money back.Before my pillow even got to me, the company sent me an email thanking me for my purchase. They told me a little bit about who they are, and how the pillow is made an how it will come to me, and told me if I ever had any questions not to hesitate to email or call. In my 8 years of buying on Amazon, I have never had a company email me, EVER!My pillow came within the time frame promised, in a box that I thought - wow they really do shrink it a lot!! They included a sheet with infoabout the pillow, and contact information as well. I took my pillow out of the box and it was rolled up like a sleeping bag and they sucked ALL the air out of it! I have to say, this pillow is substantially heavier then any other pillow I've owned <and that is a lot of pillows!> but not so heavy that it's difficult to handle. It took a little while to puff up to it's normal size which was fine as I got it early in the day. I did not notice any kind of smell that was so horrible it bothered me. It is foam and shipped in plastic so I knew there would be a light odor, but it really wasn't anything to complain about. Besides, you can wash it if it does offend you. I just put a pillow case on it and used it that night.That night was the first night in over 10 years that not only did I get 6 1/2 hours of sleep without waking up, but I also didn't wake up. Due to the Morphine and Vicodin and other meds I'm on, I get hot and cold and usually wake up cold from sweating.Not only did I wake up NOT sweaty or cold, but my neck felt pretty darn good! I can't remember when I've had such a good nights sleep, honestly. I've had this pillow for 5 days now, and I have had the best sleep ever. My neck isn't stiff, and doesn't hurt when I wake upI got another email from the company 2 days after I got the pillow asking me if I liked the pillow. Honestly - that really blew me away. I love that this company uses all U.S. made materials in their products and that they do not outsource their employees. Not only that, but how many companies back their product, and a pillow at that for 20, yes TWENTY YEARS? If my pillow ever goes flat, I return it for a new one. That is incredible.Obviously I can't say anything about how it has been over a long period of time because I've only had this pillow for just a week...but I willabsolutely update my review after a month and every few months after that.I can't recommend this pillow enough. It's very well made with high quality materials and the exterior is extremely soft on my skin. The pillow is the best pillow I've ever owned and has given me the best sleep of my life since I broke my neck twice. The company obviously cares about it's customers because they've contacted me twice and I've only had it a week, so their customer service has far exceeded my expectations. A 90 day Trial with a full refund and a 20 year warranty?? AWESOME.I would do just about anything to get my health back, so to be able to get sleep, and a GOOD nights sleep at that, means a lot to me. To me, I would pay double what this pillow cost.I apologize for the lengthy review. I just wanted to anyone who reads my review to understand why I LOVE this pillow! Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!UPDATE Janary 29 2015:I purchased another Snuggle-Pedic Pillow for my husband. He has Sleep Apnea and uses a CPAP at night. He started sleeping on his back once he started using the CPAP, and he wakes up every day with a stiff neck and I think the people in the next county can hear his neck crack when he first moves his head/neck, not to mention he takes a lot of Motrin just to help loosen his neck a little every morning. I love my new S-P pillow, from day one, so I decided to get him one. He absolutely LOVES it. No more stiff neck, and the cracking has really been reduced. I haven't seen him take 1 Motrin since he got the pillow, so that's great.As far as I go - I still think this is the best pillow around. I am sleeping a minimum of 5-6 hours a night, which is far better then the 2-3 I was getting. It's made a huge difference in my health.UPDATE September 2015 ~ I've had this pillow for almost a full year now <got it Dec 2014> and I still LOVE it to death. Over the past 9 months, I've had the BEST sleep ever. Every single night I get at least 6 hours which has been a HUGE help to my health.I have washed it many times and it still looks brand new, and it still has the same fullness as when I first got it! There isn't one thing I could possibly say derogatory about this pillow. It is WELL worth every single dollar.Since getting our pillows, we were able to get a new bed <Thank you MF!!>that just makes everything about sleeping amazing. I no longer dread going to sleep!Thank you to everyone for all of your comments and help. I've had 5 more surgeries just this year so I didn't reply to a lot of you, but I did see the posts and appreciate all of your kind comments and help!

A couple months ago, I decided to purchase a new pillow for myself because my old one was causing me neck and back pain. I typically purchase cheaper king-size pillows for myself because I didn't really know if I wanted to spend a lot of money on a more expensive pillow and if the benefits would outweigh the costs. My old pillow was starting to get flat as well and I was about to head to a local store and purchase another inexpensive pillow when I thought, why not see what I can find on here for pillows? I did a TON of research and mainly looked at memory foam pillows because many people seem to like them. I had it narrowed down to two pillows and, even though the other pillow was a bit cheaper and seemed to be more popular, I chose this one because overall, it seemed like a better pillow for side sleepers, which is what I am.The Snuggle-Pedic Bamboo Shredded Memory Foam pillow is a luxurious, eco-friendly pillow made for all sleepers from back to side to stomach to pregnant. The filling is made of 100% shredded polyurethane foam and the cover is made of 43% viscose of bamboo, 56.4% polyester, and .6% lycra. A lot of pillows go flat after time, which is what always happened to me with the cheaper pillows, but memory foam is never supposed to go flat. The shredded bamboo memory foam is supposed to conform to your head and neck and then fluff back up to its original shape when you wake up and are no longer using the pillow. This pillow is made with a Kool-Flow Micro-Vented Cover meant to keep you cool all night so you don't sweat as much. It is also hypoallergenic and dust-mite resistant. The pillow is made in the USA in Southern California and comes with a 20 year warranty.Washing instructions are as follows: machine wash cold with minimum agitation and make sure the washing machine load is balanced, hand wash recommended over top load washing machines, can be tumble dried using a high-heat setting, do not use chlorine-based bleach, do not dry clean, and do not iron. You can also throw the pillow in the dryer for 20 minutes every so often to re-fluff it and soften the material (care instructions are included in the packaging and I'd recommend reading them carefully to ensure the longevity of your pillow).I purchased the king-size pillow since I've gotten used to that size ever since we bought our king-size bed years ago. This pillow is the same size as the other king-size pillows we own so it will fit your regular king pillowcases. In order to prevent staining on my new pillow from myself, my kids who like to jump on our bed, and my cat who think my pillow is the perfect bed (it actually is big enough for both of us!), I also purchased Zipper Removable Pillow Cover by Snuggle-Pedic - Kool-Flow Luxurious Bamboo Material - All USA Made (King Size), which has been a great purchase as well.I cannot tell you how excited I was for my new pillow to arrive. I'd never used a memory foam pillow before and I was thrilled when it arrived! Imagine my surprise though when the box it arrived in was a medium-sized box and I was afraid my new pillow was delayed. You'll want to note that the pillow is vacuum-packed so it can ship more easily. When you open the box, it will be rolled up and I've included a picture of this so you aren't surprised either. Carefully cut the plastic wrapping off to make sure you don't cut into the pillow. The pillow will immediately start to fluff up on its own but you can speed up the process by putting it in the dryer. Our dryer isn't the most reliable so I only put this pillow in the dryer for 7 minutes on high heat and watched it like a hawk. It came out even more fluffed up! At first, when I cut open the plastic, it had a new smell similar to a new car smell and that went away after a day or so.That night, I was even more excited to go to bed so I could test out my new pillow. The first time I laid my head down on it, I couldn't believe how comfortable it felt! It was like the pillow was made specifically to fit me because, even right away, it felt very supportive. I knew the true test would be how I slept because with all of the new pillows I've owned (remember, they were the cheaper ones), they always started out very fluffy and I had to adjust to them. For many days after using those pillows, I would wake up with a sore neck until I eventually broke it in. With this pillow, there was no breaking it in. The next morning, I woke up and thought, I slept so well and didn't wake up once! That alone describes how comfortable this pillow is. I've owned this pillow for almost two months and every night has been much the same, with the exception of getting woken up by one of our kids.Another amazing thing about this pillow is that it has a Kool-Flow Micro-Vented Cover which helps keep you cool all night long. I can attest that this is true. With all of the other pillows I owned, regardless of the season, I would sweat at night and mostly on my head so I would wake up with my hair and pillow sweaty. With this pillow, it has kept my head cool and I rarely wake up sweaty, which probably also has to do with my sleeping better.Like many people, I get stressed out at times and tend to carry my stress in my neck and shoulders. With my old, cheap pillows, I used to wake up in so much pain that I could barely move and get out of bed. It hurt so much and would take days to make the pain go away. During the two months I've used this pillow, I've still been stressed and my back hurts occasionally during the day but I have NEVER woken up in pain. I can't tell you what a relief it is to be able to wake up, get out of bed to help my kids get ready, and go about my day without being in so much pain. Who would've thought a pillow would be so amazing?!?!?!?!I'd like to summarize this review by stating that, if I haven't yet convinced you to purchase this pillow, let me say this. Ever since I purchased this pillow, I have slept better, felt better, and woken up happier than I have been in a long time...mostly because of this pillow! I don't even have any major neck or back problems and this pillow has helped me immensely. It is so comfortable and I look forward to going to bed at night! It keeps me cool at night and has been one of the best purchases I've made. I, too, was hesitant because of the price but I will tell you that you won't regret it. I've told my mother-in-law about this pillow and she is extremely interested because she needs to get a new pillow as well. So, if you are on the fence about purchasing this pillow, you won't regret it. The cost is higher but the benefits for me have been so worth it! There are a few different sizes available but I love my king-size pillow because it's so big and I love to sprawl, much to my husband's dismay. Because this is a more expensive item, I will periodically update this review and adjust my star-rating if my opinion on this pillow changes. For now, I VERY highly recommend purchasing this pillow! You will sleep and feel so much better!
