I'm a recent convert to the whole memory foam concept. It was only a year ago that I bought my first one, got it on a gold box deal for a great price, and instantly LOVED it. It made such a difference in my life, sleeping better than I had in years. I've been through the "sleep number" system, and having spent $2500 on a bed I ended up giving away less than a year later, I was looking forward to something less hokey, and something that delivered on what it promised.
I had received a few other memory foam mattresses from Amazon through the Vine program since buying mine, but I'm still sleeping on the one I bought since that's still my favorite, even though it only cost a third of the last one I tried from the Vine program.
However, I've never liked my pillows. I've gone through many kinds, including regular foam ones, but they all just didn't work that well. So when I saw THIS come up on a gold box deal, I jumped at it, since I had never really considered a memory foam pillow before.
This one has two different sides, one designed to be more "heat friendly" as far as dissipating the heat from your head. I'm in Wisconsin, and we go yearly through extremes from one end of the thermometer to the other. I've had a few nights when I woke up and the pillow was damp from sweat. We've gone through some hot days and nights since I got this, and I really don't feel any temperature difference through the night using one side over the other. But that doesn't detract from my liking this pillow since I got it for the feel, not the temperature options.
Both sides feel great - it has the support and comfort that every other kind of pillow I ever tried failed to deliver. One side is slightly more supportive than the other, and I find that side works best when I want to lay on my side since it helps keep my head up a little more, so it stays more inline with my shoulders and spine. The other side works great for when I want to sleep on my back or my stomach.
And unlike other pillows, when I have an arm or two tucked underneath, it really doesn't impact how the pillow feels to my head.
And having it conform to the shape of your head really DOES make a difference in how supported your head feels. I don't have to bunch it up some in the middle to get it to the point where it's usable. Your head sinks in it a bit and you just relax so much quicker than with a normal pillow because it doesn't feel like your ear is being squished if your'e on your side, and when you're on your back, the whole of your head takes the weight equally, and it feels wonderful.
I've had less cricks in my neck since I bought this. I haven't once woken up to a sore neck or had any pain when trying to turn my head "straight" after laying on my stomach sleeping all night with my head turned to one side.
Gold box deal or the normal Amazon price, this pillow is worth the cost.
