Another shopper , who "struggled with neck and back pain" for decades, said they brought the pillow to their chiropractor for help perfecting its firmness.

"Side sleeper heaven.This pillow was actually at an Airbnb I stayed at and I slept sooo good that I asked the guy for the link.

"For decades I've struggled with neck and back pain. I went to a new chiropractor, and after an appointment or two, he started asking me about my sleeping habits, especially my pillow. I described how I had tried various pillows over the years from flat and soft through firm and stuffed. He told me to buy this pillow. I ordered the pillow and when it arrived I brought it in to an appointment with him. He had me lay on his table with the pillow, then pulled some of the stuffing out, re-zipped it, and sent me home. The key is to remove enough stuffing so that when you are laying on your side, there should be a straight line from your nose to the middle of your chin, to the middle of your chest. IT'S A MIRACLE! Almost literally overnight I stopped waking up with neck pain.By the second morning of using this pillow, my neck pain was gone.Totally. I know it sounds like one of those late-night TV ads, but I swear it's absolutely true. Decades of pain and stiffness gone. If you have any neck issues, buy this pillow. Even if the cause is something else, you can at least fix this one cause. Really, for the price, you'll be astounded at the results." — Pooh Guy
" I recently got this pillow and have been sleeping much better since using it.It's soft, comfortable, and provides great support. Mine turned pretty firm after you let it sit for a day, but it has a soft touch. It keeps its shape well and helps me wake up better, definitely got rid of my neck pain.Overall, definitely worth the money. Size was great." — Aiden Gar.
