 Best Pillow Ever Sep 11, 2007
By Mitzi
"Ditsy Mitzi"
Since seeing ads for the Tempur-Pedic mattress, I have begged my husband to buy one. Of course because of the costly price tag, my husband said NO. I figured since I could not have the mattress, at least I would buy the Tempur-pedic pillow. At over $100, this is one pricey pillow but it is soooo worth it. I love the fact that the pillow feels hard yet soft at the same time. I can use it for good, deep sleep or I can twist and punch it so it can lie under crook of my neck to sooth all my aches away. It is the most moldable pillow I have ever encountered.
This is the second Tempur-Pedic pillow that I have owned and the only reason that I had to buy a second pillow was because I ruined the first one when I washed it. In order to wash, you need to remove the zippered pillow cover but once I removed this cover, the material inside basically shifted and after I washed and put the pillow cover back on it seemed to me that the pillow "lost" its original firmness. Since I had this pillow for over a year, I really did not mind spending another $100 bucks. Trust me, once you own a Tempur-Pedic you will not settle for less.
***Just a warning, when you use this pillow for the first time, it will have a funny smell to it (I think it has something to do with the material used inside) but after a couple of days that funny smell goes away and you are in for some of the best sleep ever.
Until I can convince the hubby to buy me the Tempur-Pedic mattress, I will cherish this pillow.

fairly comfortable Apr 30, 2008
By Kyle
after buying a couple of competitor memory foam pillows, I finally decided to put up the money for this. I remember squeezing one everytime I went into a brookstone store, it felt amazing.
First impression of this pillow is that it is very heavy, it's the heaviest pillow I've ever owned. Secondly, it stinks like latex. A small label on the pillow says that the odor will go away after a few days, its been a week and it still kind of lingers. Third, it has a true memory function. Other knockoff brands have memory foam that maintains shape for about a quarter of a second or less. depending on pressure, the tempurpedic pillow holds memory for almost 8 seconds
I found that sleeping on it can be uncomfortable sometimes. while it does hold memory, it can create a bowl shape for your head. This does not feel feather-soft, but rather somewhat flat and hard. I have an average sized head and I find that my head is not heavy enough to compress the foam very much. Perhaps it is the way I sleep on it. I would consider it a firm pillow
With that said, oddly enough I have found that I tend to fall asleep faster and stay asleep at night. Also, when I wake up, I still have this pillow under my head, usually I will have switched during the night.
so, keep in mind that even though it feels very soft to the touch, when it is compressed, it just becomes flat. if you wanted a feather-soft pillow, this might not be the one for you.

luxurious and substantial Mar 15, 2009
By Mary
I have a set of these pillows in the queen size. I bought them at a shop in the mall a couple years ago and after all this time I still love these pillows more than any of the other ones on the three beds in our home.
What I like about these pillows is that they offer really nice support and comfort without the ugly look of many tempur type products. They fill out a pillowcase nicely and that means a lot to me. If you've ever put one of those orthopedic looking pillows into a pillowcase, well you know how sad and empty the case looks and it just makes the bed look kind of wrong.
Anyway back to these pillows. They are really heavy and they feel wonderful whether I am sleeping on my back or my side. They don't make me feel too hot - which is something I was a little bit concerned about because I heard memory foam can be warm but these are not a problem for me. Some reviewers complained about a chemical smell and I honestly do not remember if these had a smell to them at first because it's been so long. If they did have a chemical smell it has long since gone away.
I do want to say that I'm not sure I'd buy an item like this online. A pillow is a very personal item. You can't tell if you will like it by looking at it or reading about it. You have to rest on one to determine if it will be the right thing for you.
I can say that if you like the tempur products and you prefer the look of a standard pillow then this is probably an excellent product for you.
The reason I gave it 4 stars is because I think the price is awfully high though I am still very happy with these so I don't feel it was a waste of $.

This thing saved my neck. Literally! Feb 13, 2010
By T. Beal
The old adage, "You get what you pay for." is very appropriate in this case. After one, yes ONE night of sleeping on this pillow, the stiffness and pain in my neck is noticeably less.
I must've aggravated an old injury in my upper back while at the gym recently. As such, for a week straight, I was waking up in pure agony. It felt like an icepick was being shoved into my spine at the base of my neck. So, do I keep downing Advil like they were M&M's or do I try to find a real solution? I started by telling myself that the lousy pillows I was using was doing nothing to heal this recently revitalized upper back injury. I had no intention of buying a Tempur-Pedic pillow at all, really. I just wanted something that was thicker and firmer than what I was currently sleeping on, pillow-wise.
I'll tell ya, folks, I went into the local mattress-superstore and test drove a few pillows and for the life of me, I could not get uncomfortable with the Tempur-Pedic. I not only kicked its tires, I ground the gears, slammed the doors and tried to blow out the speakers. And nothing I did convinced me that plunking down this kind of cash was anything but a solid investment. Nothing! My test drive was unshakably comfirmed last night. My litmus test was when I began to sit up and was at about a 30-degree angle and that icepick that had so recently tortured me, was now gone. There's still a residual cramping in my back and neck, but did I expect this pillow would "cure" me overnight? No. Talk to me in about a week, however. Something tells me that I'll be ready to resume my breakdancing lessons again. Buy this pillow.

 Great at first, but declined quickly. Apr 26, 2011
By Anthony
I loved this form fitting memory pillow at first. I slept through the night like a corpse, hardly moving; calm, restful nights' sleeps. My girlfriend called it "the brick" because is was heavy and felt really stiff, but it did the job, forming around my head and neck snugly. BUT, after about 8 weeks it has lost its firmness and memory and is like a cheap foam pillow. Having paid $130 dollars for a pillow I expect a whole heck of a lot more than this, particularly from a respected brand such as Tempurpedic. VERY DISAPPOINTED. I would NOT RECOMMEND this pillow to anyone. I don't plan on spending this much on a pillow again.
