Re: New cervical pillow YUK!!!!!! YUK!!!!!

[Guest guest]

I bought one too and it was so uncomfortable....... I sold it on ebay. I was

so disappointed. I thought about buying a mattress but I am not going to I

might not like it........lol.

hey everyone ,it's cindy .i just bought a new cervical pillow made from

memory foam, comfort cloud. IS it supposed to be that

uncomfortable??????????? I never had a cervical pillow, feels like i

have to much support. Is that right?????????? any thoughts?i have a

reverse curve maybe i should turn it over. HA HA seriously tho are

those pillows all uncomfortable????cindy

[Guest guest]

-Hi I was given a temperpedic one and when I first tried

sleeping with it it drove me nuts it was so uncomfortable. I'd wake up

in the middle of the nite and send it flying across the room and grab

my old one. I learned later that a lot of the cells are closed when

you first get them and with time and use they open up and the pillows

get softer and more comfortable. I'vd had it for over 3 yrs now and I

wouldn't sleep with anything else. In fact when I travel I pack it and

take it with me in my suitcase, thats how much I love it now. But it

did take sometime to get used too. So maybe keep trying a few hours at

a time and you will adjust for it. I have a reverse curve too so thats

not it. Hope this info helps you some. Sharon Group Owner

Hi and others,

I think cervical pillows are for people with normal cervical spines.

I've tried some too. A memory foam one worked for a while after I cut

away alot of the neck bump part from underneath. THen after my latest

flare that one didn't work either. I have an old kind of lumpy pillow

that I can move a little of the filler into position under my neck

after I lay on it. I got a special water pillow yesterday but am still

working on whether it will help or not. I went to accupuncture two

days ago. THey had a buckwheat hull pillow which felt pretty good,(you

can mold it anyway you want) but I'm thinking it would get pretty hard

on the head after sleeping on it all night, but maybe for naps. I

tried to find one around here in a bedding store or department store

and still haven't found one. May have to order one online.

Sorry long post but this is a good topic for us.

I'm not to the stage of surgery (yet, I fear) but I do have a

ruptured disc at the left of C6-7 and plenty of longstanding trigger

points and spasming on both sides of my neck, across the top of

shoulders and down into the blade area. Fortunately, I don't have

the daily intense pain many here suffer but I do have many

uncomfortable times when I have:

a. Held my head the wrong way (or something like that)

b. Slept wrong

c. Spent too much time sitting completely upright without leaning

back into a support for my neck (too much time at the computer or

driving without a support pillow at my neck for example)

d. Done too much physical work with my arms (heavy and/or repetitive)

d. No particular reason apparently

I also have had two major episodes of several weeks of extreme pain

that put me pretty much into a completely handicapped position where

I could not do anything because of how debilitating it was. Those

could have been when it initially ruptured and maybe a subsequent re-

rupture. Who knows as I didn't have MRI before the first event nor

after the second so there is no comparison to determine exactly what

happened....

But I have had a cervical pillow for years. I actually got the first

ones from my chiropractor almost 20 years ago when he encouraged it

due to my history of whiplash accidents. It was just made of

fiberfill, had a stitched well " design " in the middle for your head

to fit down into and wasn't uncomfortable. But I always liked a very

soft fiberfill pillow (which the cervical pillow wasn't - it was

quite " stiff " ) that I would roll and shape and form (very much like

the cervical shape) as I used it each night. At one point, my chiro

had me rolling up a folded bath towel and using that as a neck

support each night instead of a pillow - also not soft enough for my

taste. (I'm one of those " Princess and the Pea " types who can detect

a grain of sand under 12 layers of blankets:)

Over the past couple of years with these 2 pain episodes, I got both

the shaped memory foam pillow (Homedics, I think) and several

different shapes of Sqoosh microbead pillows. Honestly, the

microbead pillows are the very most comfortable ones IMO. I love

using them on the couch and in the car to lean back on and support

the neck too.

The memory foam is soft but I don't like the shape much. I've

considered the regular shaped one but can't see how that would

really give support to the neck. The microbeads are not really soft

but give a kind of soft-firm support. Downsides to both of these are

that they get hot and annoying more than a regular pillow does.

I have 4 different types of pillows on my bed and end up using all

of them it seems each night: 2 different firmness types of " regular "

fiberfill pillows, the memory foam and the microbead.

I find the microbead U shaped pillow the best to fall asleep on,

flat on my back with just that little U under the neck. (I have a

couple straight neck roll styles in microbead too and those are also

fine.) Later, I might switch to the memory foam (if I get too hot -

not because my neck needs a switch). If I switch to my side, I use

the firmer regular pillow for better support. Sometimes I use the

softer regular pillow and just make a " well " in the center for back

sleeping(it's really old and shape-able).

I think pillow choices also mean considering sleep position.

Obviously a back sleeper needs something to support the neck curve

but a side sleeper needs something exactly the right height to

ensure their neck stays straight. That varies greatly because

everyone is a different size from point of shoulder to side of head

depending on their height, weight, bone structure, etc. So pillows

for side sleepers might need to be anything from perhaps 2 " thick to

6 " thick, a huge variance that is further complicated by the density

of the pillow (how much it squishes down under the weight of the

head).

I've been mostly a back sleeper for many years but lately half way

through the night I seem to find myself going to my side for part of

the night. That scares the dickens out of me (enough to make me wake

up some and worry about this as I am rolling over). I keep

envisioning that I might cause more damage somehow and wake up in

severe pain again. Really scary prospect....It just seems like if

you can get yourself onto your back on a good supportive neck pillow

supporting that curve, then you'll have less chance to do more

damage to the neck. Being on my side I just worry endlessly that

I'll hurt my neck.

How do the rest of you deal with the position aspect of sleeping and

pillow support?

Hi Leena,

I just sleep on my back with an old pillow that is a little lumpy

so I can plump it under my neck when I lay on it. I have a pillow

for under my knees. I can not sleep on either side now, as my neck

will hurt too much. Because I only sleep on my back and take

sleeping pills I started snoring and have horrible dry mouth, so

when my son moved out my husband asked my to sleep in his old room.

Recently I got some chin-up strips to wear at night. I think it has

stopped my snoring (I hope) and my mouth is less dry.

I have a reversed curve also and could not use these pillows.

I have one that I got from the Chiro soon after my accident and I have

used it since. I am not sure the material that it is made of , but it

isn't memory foam and it has a divet along the center. Shaped similiar

to the memory foam ones.I goes every where with me that I sleep.

Katrina, i know this is a stupid question, can a person ever get the

should use the pillow backwards.LOL love cindy

Hi I just thought of something you might try. But first check

and see if it says you can wash your pillow and put it in the dryer,

some say NOT to dry them. ANyway one way to open up the air pockets is

to put it in the dryer even if you put it on no heat and put a tennis

ball in there with it. The ball will bounce off the pillow in the

dryer and it might open up some of the pockets to make it softer. I

learned that trick long ago for pillows and coats and things you

needed to fluff when drying in the dryer. Works great on down pillows

too. Anyway I just thought of that and thought maybe it would help

make your pillow softer faster. I know just using mine it took me a

long time to get it comfy enough that I liked sleeping on it. You

could also just roll it, bend it and squish it around while you are

watching Tv or something anything to break open the air pockets makes

it softer to sleep on. Hope this helps. Sharon Group Owner
