   Oh my gosh…I rarely post reviews unless I really like a product. And I really REALLY love this pillow! I’ve been searching for the right pillow for my neck and shoulder issues and I finally found it! I have so many different pillows, but none have even come close to the curved queen size I bought. The memory foam & microfiber combo makes the feel so soft yet firm enough for neck support. The best part is that you can make the pillow softer or more firm by removing or adding filling to it. The extra filler bag is an excellent touch. Thank you Sidney Sleep Pillow. I’m finally getting a good nights sleep! Looks like I’ll be buying the travel 2-pack as well. 😁👏

   *This is a HONEST review from a real buyer! I read reviews about everything before purchasing and I often feel mislead.. I hope that my review can help someone else who may be having the same issues or sleep in the same strange position as I do*After suffering a neck and shoulder injury in early January I’ve spent the whole year and a ton of money searching for and testing anything and everything to provide even the slightest bit of relief. Finally my search has ended thanks to this pillow!I am an avid side sleeper and although medium to hard pillows are recommended, my whole life I have gotten away with the big soft fluffy pillows with no problems at all, that is until my injury. On my 2022 pillow hunt journey I’ve tried pillows made of all different things, shapes and sizes and each one seemed to be worse than the last and almost all of them (although the claim to be medium) are so hard I swear you can knock someone out with it.The Sidney pillow was one of the first to go in my cart but I kept putting it off due to some of bad reviews I read (particularly the chemical burn ones) and ended up going for more expensive pillows.HUGE MISTAKE!Finally I was in such extreme pain, sleep deprived, desperate and seen this pillow could arrive that night so ordered it and ordered 2 other kinds of pillows as well just incase.. Sidney pillow showed up around 4 am I immediately took it out of the package threw my own pillow case over it and tried laying on it right away before it fully expanded. There was a slight smell but I didn’t care I had no patience and I just wanted sleep. After a few minutes I decided to add more stuffing (because it had not yet expanded fully) and layed back down and FINALLY got some sleep. When I woke up I did remove some of the stuffing and put it back in the bag and left the pillow to lay out with both the cover it comes with and my own off for the remainder of the day and occasionally fluffing it. By bedtime the smell was gone and it took just a little fluffing to get it how I wanted it and then I drifted off to the land of nod.The sidney pillow is what I would consider a “medium” pillow. Not so hard you feel like your laying on a rock but not so soft you have no neck support and falling into it. The slight curve in the pillow may not look as though it would make that big of a difference. I personally underestimated the curve lol. Now I can’t imagine using a pillow without that curve. Ive tried many contour pillows but they are always so hard and they dont properly support the curve of my neck as they are to high and seem to be more for back sleepers. I never sleep with my pillow laying horizontally.. I like to sleep on my right side with my right arm upwards and underneath my pillow and kinda hug it. Normally this makes me need two pillows one to hug and another to lay my head on but that needs constant adjustment as I move or there are L or J shapped pillows but those do not provide enough pillow to hug on the longer leg side of it plus they take up a lot of space in bed. So if you sleep like me, the curve with the Sidney Pillow allows you to perfectly form around it and the pointed corner ends wraps under your neck and head and around your shoulder giving the extra support normal rectangular pillows do not.After the first time sleeping on it I already felt less neck pain when waking up. After 3 days zero neck pain or shoulder pain upon waking up. Of course as the day goes on depending what I’m doing the pain starts to creep back up on me but with the help of this pillow I’m easily and comfortably able to get to sleep each night. No more tossing and turning all night, no smell after airing the pillow out and allowing it to expand properly and no chemical burn which was my biggest fear cause I have super sensitive skin. I do not feel the cubes of stuffing as others said through the pillow case when I lay on it or even by running my hand over it. The cubes are very tiny and in no way jabbing at your face lol. It does take a little fluffing at first but I have not needed to constantly fluff it or had issues with it losing its shape. In fact the longer I’ve used it the better it has gotten as it has molded perfectly to me and my bodies natural curves and where I need the support.I know going off others reviews is difficult when it comes to pillows because everyone is different and sleeps differently but I truly think this pillow could be the one for just about anyone as it’s easily adjustable to your liking of firmness and it molds to you and your body and sleeping position rather than the permanent pre cut and shaped you see with other pillows.I definitely recommend this pillow just be sure to remove the pillow case it comes with and allow it to air out and occasionally fluffing it during this process to release the fumes and help it expand properly. You may want to play around with the amount of stuffing you want in it to find what is best for you but don’t lose patience if the first night it’s not perfect because the more you sleep on it the more it will form to you and your curves. It truly becomes a pillow that seems as if it was molded just for you. I also don’t recommend using it as a pillow you lean against in bed when sitting up reading or watching tv because that will change the form it has built for your individual neck, head, and shoulders.

   Great pillow and it’s been helping my neck pain but it also had a terrible chemical smell to it that I can’t get over

   First, I was not sure about this pillow. I had to take a lot of the stuffing out, but I do like that you have the option to take stuffing out or put more in and they do give you an extra bag of stuffing and it’s really soft and mushy like a marshmallow, but it’s still supports your head, and it cradles your head at the same time. The only thing I would recommend is that the purple pillow cover is nice and it’s my favorite color, but it makes it too compressed and too stiff. I had to end up just putting the pillow inside a regular pillow case and now it’s pretty much perfect! I definitely have pillow issues, and I have been searching for a pillow that works for me and I’ve had it for about a week now and so far it’s wonderful and no neck and shoulder soreness like before. I will update if anything changes but so far I think I will keep it!

   This is a pretty decent pillow for side sleepers that need a bit of extra comfort at night. The pillow is large and thick to keep good separation between your legs while sleeping which is great for my back. I’m happy I started using this pillow to keep my back issues at bay.

   I wanted to give this a good review I really did. I wanted to badly, but I can’t. This SOB stinks, like bad. It smells so strong as to be considered chemical warfare. I have myself spreading the filling out on a blanket and spraying it and the cases desperately with deodorizer. My friend used the pillow and woke up saying they smelled illness, and despite me being sick the smell wasn’t from me. It’s nauseating. I haven’t even gotten to use the damn thing because it smelled so bad. Hopefully my efforts will not go wasted. Not everyone has access to washers, and I hope to God the chemical smell isn’t from some sort of carcinogenic cancer dancer that kills you in the moonlight. Otherwise? Squishy, pillow like. Perhaps one day I’ll get to use the damn thing.

   I’ve been stubbornly avoiding buying a specialized pillow for my TMD because I think pillows should cost $10/20 dollars max. Spending this much seemed unnecessary, but was less than the &110/200 options for a pillow shaped like a croissant. I absolutely hate that this pillow is comfy and helped my TMD. I should have bought it sooner instead of relishing in my stubbornness. I won’t learn my lesson… I’ll be this stubborn again. At least now I have less jaw/neck/facial pain that’s effective. It’s soft and supportive. I only bought one and should have bought the two pack. The only down side was waiting for the chemical smell to go away. I was a little pissed that my expensive pillow had directions and I had to wait it to fluff. I am also impatient (surprise, surprise). Follow the directions because it really does need to air out. Will 100% purchase again.

   A big treat
   It was a big treat to invest in a pillow I was a bit doubtful it would help me sleep but it’s worth investing in from my perspectiveIt takes a little while to have the right volum of memory foam for you personally but once you find the right amount it’s great. It’s slightly strange having a pillow this shape and it’s easy not to put your head properly on it so resting the crown rather than whole side of head but you’ll know because your just nit as comfy as you should be so pull it down securely under your head and although you know your heads on something but alchmy happens as once your resting on it youve not much time to think because your fast asleep which for insomniac me is great.You don’t need to search for the right shape pillow case as I did but use a regular pillowcase it doesn’t detract from the pillowYou get a nice back with lots of extra memory foam so you’ll be able to use as much or as little as suits you bestI found using a bit more than I expected to need was best for meI would recommend this pillow
