Serta Contour Memory Foam Pillows (Set of 2)

I'm a retired neurosurgeon and treated neck problems for 30 years. These pillows are supposed to support the neck and give relief from painful degenerative joint disorders such as arthritis. They don't. They are too thin. I know. I suffer from cervical osteoarthritis. I'm a side sleeper and during the night my head sinks too far into the memory foam, bending my neck to the side and leaving me with increased morning neck ache. They need to be about twice as thick as they are. I gave mine away.

I've been using this pillow for the past few weeks and I've noticed a better night's sleep than previously. I sleep longer with less twisting and turning. The memory foam pillow is very comfortable and cushy. You can feel it mold around your neck and head where it does not become flattened. It is the right amount of support. Upon receiving the pillow in the mail I did notice a slight smell from it being new but I aired it out for a few hours and was able to use it. The first few nights I slept like a baby....I don't think I even turned or twisted one time but now that I am used to it I do still twist and turn but definitely not as much as I did....I am one of those turners who twist about 100 times a night. I can sleep on my side comfortably.....there is enough support for your neck and shoulder so that when you lay on your side you are still comfortable.

I ordered this set for a very good price. I received the two pillows on time and well packed. One of the pillows was ideal. it had a good density and a good weight and supported my neck very well, i felt the difference from the first night. The other pillow on the other hand, had much less weight in it and a lower density it became very flat when i slept on it, and did nor support my head at all. It looks like they are selling these pillows in two so they can put a bad pillow with a good pillow. I will contact customer support and see if they will exchange the bad one. If the two pillows were identical in quality this set could be the best in quality and price.

Ok, I am laughing histerically...I read every single review about these pillows, and I thought hey what are the chances of me getting one flat pillow and one fluffy one right? Well IT"S TRUE! Maybe that's how they sell them at such discounted prices (really a mattress salesman was trying to sell us these same pillows for 39.99 EACH). Overstock sticks a sick anorexic pillow in with the regular one you'd see at the store, all fluffy and full of memory goodness. I mean, even at that..I still saved 15 bucks on a pillow! So you have to weigh out the odds for this purchase, just know that you are not exempt from receiving two very different pillows. Heck, put one in your dog house, you're still saving money.
