Classic Plus Orthopaedic Neck Pillow – Height Adjustable Cervical Support for Neck & Shoulder Pain – Ergonomic Memory Foam Pillow with Ventilation System - Soft & Gentle support

This is a wonderful pillow. I used to wake with numbness in my wrists and fingers because of squashing my shoulders sleeping on my side with an ordinary pillow. That has totally disappeared since I started using the Sissel Plus. I find it most comfortable if I use it at a slight angle with the front corner pulled down a little. It does take a few nights to get used to but it's really worth persevering.

We've used the wonderful Sissel Neck Pillows for 30 years, never go anywhere without them. A HELPFUL HINT: When lying on your side, it's more comfortable if you tilt the pillow down a bit in front and up a bit behind you, to avoid the back of the pillow digging into your shoulder. We were shown this when we first bought the pillows from a Chiropractic College, and it does help people who complain that lying on their sides isn't very comfortable.

very disappointed with new pillow not the quality of my first one that i have had fir 5 years new one is very empty and not the quality of old one which was 50 pounds not the new price of 80

This is the second Sissel pillow I have bought, first one lasted 10 years! It much more expensive than many on the market, but this is the best in my opinion,. Its high quality, well designed and effective. What you need to bear in mind is that it's totally different from whatever you are sleeping on now, so takes some getting used too. Chances are the first few nights you will think you will never get used to it, my advice is to persevere because it is worth it. Make sure you pull it well into your shoulder so your neck is being supported by the raised ridge and your head is on the flat of the pillow. You are more than likely using it due to neck problems/pain, so it is a bit uncomfortable while the muscles adjust, but it has helped me enormously with my stiff neck, I no longer wake up in discomfort or find it difficult to turn my head in the mornings.

This pillow is amazing. I ordered it to replace my current one and I have never used this brand before. I went by reviews and that the shape is the same as old one. I've slept on the pillow for 4 nights and they have been the best nights sleep so far. My head feels lighter, no pressure on the back. My neck is supported and cushioned. I suffer from lower back pains and in these four nights I haven't woken up in the night because of pain. The pillow feels softer than my previous one but when you put your head on it, the feel is totally different. Comes in a hygiene bag so once removed you can't return for a refund. The pillow doesn't smell at all compared to other orthopaedic foam pillows.

After 3 nights i found my chin was uncomfortably rubbing against the raised edge so i tried to return it to seller. Alas, if the seal has been broken it's unreturnable (unlike other pillows i've bought). I persevered & am glad i did as being able to tuck my shoulder beneath the lead edge which supports neck, is very satisfying to experience and has the advantage of not having to 'plump up' after turning over, which i used to do several times/night with my loose fillings pillow; it retains its shape which constantly offers neck support. After a few more nights i discovered that my (lower-straighter) position on the bed was main factor in aligning my head so that the raised edge was correctly supporting my neck. I'm currently turning a fair bit during the night so at first i was finding after turning, my head became wrongly positioned resulting in sore neck. However, after settling on a stable position on the bed i find if i turn i'm still ok. It's taken more than a few night to get used to it, about 7-10 nights, but now i'm ok with the pillow & enjoy sleeping on it; though i don't know if i'll stick with it long term, probably switch to conventional from time to time.

I've had this for exactly 4 weeks, the minimum time to 'get used to it', and my jury is still out. I'll be back with updates if anything changes, but here is my evidence (and opinion) to date... AND HERE'S THE UPDATE: upgrading to 4 out of 5. Seems to be doing OK. BACKGROUND I am 6ft tall and my age and outlook on life is as a young - that's YOUNG! - 64. (I work in an industry with a lot of youngish, creative people.) My spine is 'crumbling' but only slowly but surely - age-related arthritis, or something like that. I had a spine / cervical (that's your neck!) scan about 4 years ago. About the 3rd and 4th discs from the top are crumbling a bit. Not a biggie yet. I was advised to get a Sissel pillow and a McKenzie System book (from Amazon, the combined neck and back version) at the time, and do the exercises. I actually got an expensive Dunlopillo latex pillow (not a shaped one) and am pretty happy with it. Always keeps its shape, if you're OCD about bed symmetry, and I also tried a chain store shaped memory foam pillow - flatter than the Sissel - and was OKish with it. But I preferred the Dunlop, and relegated the memory foam to between my knees, which is a whole new review. (Doing this helps keep your spine straight, too. Or put it behind your knees if you sleep on your back.) ANYway, I wasn't not aching as much as I'm making this sound and wasn't in massive pain. But I slowly and surely got to the point where I'd pay ANYthing (even up to £50!) for a good night's sleep. So the Sissel was a last-ditch attempt at night-time peace. REVIEW Size is OK. Doesn't exactly fill a standard pillow case because of the weird shape, but it's liveable-withable. Feels nice under my head - soft but firm - and not TOO warm, not claustrophobic memory foam, and with no smell, but I DO have a bad sense of smell.I liked the feel of it from the word 'go', and didn't find it too hard or TOO springy. For me, 'too springy' can also make your neck sore. Hmmm, 3 stars. Probably 3.5, if truth be told. UPGRADING NOW TO 4 STARS. It only works for me when I sleep on my side, but I think that's what it's sold for, although you usually see pictures of back-sleepers using contoured pillows. (Not Sissel pictures.) Using it on my back seems to make my morning neck ache worse. As does falling asleep with my head on 3 pillows when I'm reading. So, side-sleepers only, I would say - and I may be wrong. But with just the Sissel - just the one pillow, no extras - in my sleep, I seem to vary between back and side, so that's not ideal with the Sissel. I sometimes wake up on my back, with a bit of a neck ache. So for me, it has to be side-sleeping on a Sissel or it doesn't work. So... It's not the miracle I was expecting. It's 'OK', so I think it's very much 'try it and see' - which can be expensive if it's not for you. I think it may unfortunately depend on where your neck aches - my slight, but annoying, pain is '2 or 3 notches down' my spine, rather than the neck itself. I SHALL persevere, though, for longer than the month-to-date, and report back - or report neck - if any changes. I'll also take out the extra layer of base foam (only on certain Sissel models) and see if that helps. And I'll go back to the Dunlopillo for a while, too, eventually, and compare my findings. This is only the start... UPDATE - sticking with the Sissel and getting happer after 2 months or more. Having said all that, my neck doesn't feel any WORSE and may very slightly sometimes feel better, if I've managed in my sleep to stay on my side and not revert to my previously-preferred position, which is flat on my back, hands crossed on my chest in front of me, just under my chin, a bit like a vampire. With neck ache. I'll keep up with the pillow and I'll try to do more of the recommended exercises (which I currently only do when I remember) and see what happens. I guess what I'm saying is not to expect TOO much, despite the good reviews, and you'll just have to bite the bullet with the cost if it doesn't work for you. I managed to get mine at a reasonable price by buying an Amazon Warehouse Deal 'with damaged packaging'. (It wasn't particularly damaged.) OK, MAYBE someone had tried it for a couple of nights and returned it, I don't know, but that didn't worry me at all. Also, I THINK Amazon will take returns if it's not for you, but double-check that before splashing the cash. Hope that helps! Just don't expect TOO much. Didn't seem to smell, but I have a poor sense of smell. (Which can be a blessing sometimes.) I think the PLUS in the description means that you can peel off the extra bottom layer, so I'll be trying this soon.

As described

Acquistato su consiglio del fisioterapista che mi segue da oltre un anno per altre problematiche. Avevo iniziato ad accusare dei dolori forti e persistenti a cervicale, spalle e scapole (ho un lavoro sedentario), tanto da faticare a dormire la notte. Questo cuscino, acquistato in taglia M, si è rivelato risolutivo. Il sollievo appoggiandosi è quasi immediato, si sentono chiaramente i muscoli del collo rilassarsi, in quanto la cervicale è perfettamente sostenuta. Ora che ho risolto il grosso del problema e ho male di rado, basta utilizzarlo alle prime avvisaglie di qualche dolore in zona cervicale e mi permette di tornare in piena forma nel giro di 1-2 notti. Comodo da usare, sia per dormire supini, sia sul fianco. La confezione comprende una federa morbida.

Tengo dolores cervicales y me la recomendaron y puedo decir tras unas semana de usarla q realmente es estupenda, muy buena inversión

The best pillow I've found for shoulder pain relief.

Bislang hatte ich jahrelang diverse 40x80cm Kissen mit Latexflocken gefüllt. Ich hatte nie Probleme damit, auch keine Nackenschmerzen und las eher zufällig von Kissen der Marke Sissel. Ich bin sehr überrascht von dem Kissen. Es ist ungewöhnlich klein, aber wegen der besonderen Schlafposition bleibe ich auch im Schlaf darauf liegen. Das erste Ausprobieren war ein totales Aha-Erlebnis. Einfach sehr wohltuend für den Kopf. Mein altes 40x80cm Kissen behalte ich, da es für Lesen im Bett besser geeignet ist. Aber zum Schlafen kann ich mir kein anderes als das Sisselkissen mehr vorstellen.

Je suis devenue accro à cet oreiller après avoir testé plusieurs modèles. J’ai un début d’inversion de la courbure cervicale avec beaucoup de raideur et un peu d’arthrose ça fait plus de dix ans. Pendant longtemps, j’ai utilisé des oreillers en forme de vague et en mémoire de forme. Je ne me sentais pas très bien installée mais je me disais que ça devrait être le type adéquat pour mon problème. Quand j’ai eu besoin de changer mon oreiller, j’ai voulu tester d’autres modèles et j’ai testé vraiment de tous les types (sissel plus, sissel soft plus, zempur, tempur symphony, dodo ergonomique latex, third of life numoon, third of life gianfar...). Après tous ces essais, j’ai d’abord décidé de garder le tempur Symphony. J’ai été conquise par sa douceur et sa forme. Je l’ai acheté en taille S pour que ça ne me « casse » pas la cervicale vers le haut. Après un mois avec le tempur, je me suis aperçue que je me réveillais avec plus de douleur qu’avant même si quand j’allais me coucher j’avais l’impression d’avoir la tête dans les nuages. Je me suis rendue compte que c’était parce que je bougeais pendant la nuit et je me mettais sur le dos. Comme cet oreiller avait une forme plate, ma tête tombait vers un des côtes et je restais longtemps dans cete position que réveillée me fait très mal. Je me suis donc souvenue du sissel que j’avais déjà testé. Je ne l’avais pas gardé parce que cette espèce de « degré » pour tenir la cervicale m’avait fait un peu peur. On la sent beaucoup au début et j’ai eu peur que ça me fasse plus de mal que de bien. Cette fois, j’ai beaucoup lu sur cet oreiller et sur comment on conseille de l’utiliser. Si on est sur le dos, il faut le mettre juste au début de la cervicale près de la tête et pas au milieu. Si on est sur le côté, il doit, par contre, être bien collé aux épaules. Et, si on est sur le côté mais un peu plus enroulé sur soi, le mieux c’est de le mettre aussi un peu sur la verticale pour que ça suive le crâne. Bref, en suivant ces recommandations, cet oreiller devient l’oreiller parfait. Cela fait un peu plus d’un mois que je dors avec et je ne me réveille plus avec des douleurs plus importantes que celles avec lesquelles je suis allée me coucher. Pour moi, c’est déjà une victoire. Avant, je me réveillais déjà de mauvaise humeur, avec des maux de tête et etc. Je conseille vraiment de tester cet oreiller si vous avez ce genre de soucis. Alors, juste une explication du pourquoi je n’ai pas gardé les autres. Sissel soft plus: je l’ai trouvé trop dur. Je préfère de loin le latex du sissel plus. J’ai même envie d’en acheter un deuxième maintenant pour mes voyages. Tempur Symphony: comme je disais, je le trouve génial mais il ne tient pas ma tête lorsque je bouge pendant la nuit et c’est un soucis dans mon cas. Si vous n’avez pas des problèmes particuliers de dos, par contre, foncez. Il est génial et je garde le mien dans le placard pour le jour où j’arriverai à guérir de ces douleurs et l’utiliser. Zenpur: la mémoire de forme est douce et très agréable. Cependant, c’est un oreiller très haut même pour mon mari qui fait 1,80. De plus, il n’a aucun soutien pour la tête même si c’est marqué ergonomique. Third of life numoon: super oreiller en termes de confort et forme. Cependant, je le trouve un peu trop moelleux pour tenir correctement ma tête. Mon mari qui n’a pas des soucis de dos la gardé pour lui et l’adore. Cela fait trois mois qu’il dort avec et il le prend même pour voyager. J’ai une autre copine qui n’a pas des soucis de dos et qui l’adore aussi. Third of life gianffar: je l’ai trouvé trop dur et je n’ai pas trouvé de position pour m’allonger. D’un côté, j’étais trop basse et je m’enfonçais dans le matelas et de l’autre j’étais trop haute. Je préfère de loin le numoon. Dodo ergonomique latex: je n’ai pas réussi à trouver une position non plus. J’avais l’impression que les vagues étaient trop grandes pour moi et ça ne s’emboitait pas même du côté plus bas. J’espère que mon expérience aidera d’autres personnes à choisir l’oreiller adéquat parce que j’ai bien vu la difference que ça peut faire pour une nuit de sommeil.
