Intellibed, Standard Gel Adjustable Foam Pillow

I am a back and side sleeper, mostly side, though I try to remain on my back as long as possible (better for your face/skin) - Plagued by neck discomfort from ordinary pillows, I moved to Memory Foam which was good briefly; the problem with Memory Foam is it loses memory fast and flattens out quickly over time. I wake up 6-8 times a night. I consistently awake in the morning with stiff neck/shoulder and pain.Last night was my first night with this pillow. I slept through the whole night!! In fact, I just ordered another. AND I'm taking the time to write a review which is huge.The pillow is foam on the inside, but then covered with this strange blue gel. It does come in a zippered cover that is well made.When it arrived, the pillow was inserted backwards in its cover, so I had to take it out and turn it to access the hand pump. It is easy and quick to inflate by squeezing and remains inflated. The pump is small and soft and in no way can you feel it when using the pillow.Not only can you inflate the neck roll to your comfort level, but as you move in the night, the neck part "moves" with you. It really cradles your neck dynamically - and just feels delicious....there is no resistance or hard surface your spine is rubbing against. It changes shape as you rotate your head and continuously supports the motion.I am a huge fan and am now beginning to wonder what the mattresses this company sells are like!!!I'll update this later if the pillow loses it's form or function - remember this is only my first night with it - but so far - I feel like it's worth every penny.

I've been sleeping on my intelli-gel pillow for 8 nights now & couldn't be more pleased. I have cervical spine issues that have kept me from getting a good nights sleep for 5 years. I've tried every pillow out there with marginal results, adjusting & readjusting whatever pillow I was using multiple times each night. Finally, a pillow that really makes sense! It took me several adjustments (before bedtime) to determine the perfect inflation for me and it's been perfect ever since. Reading other reviews, I was hesitant to pump it up too much but found that I needed quite a bit. No problem, it's so quick & easy to use & the small pump is nonintrusive. I will purchase an extra for travel because i can't imagine living without it. Worth every penny!

This is a great pillow. Maybe just a little on the firm side, but I like it and it support my head and neck well. The foam works great and doesn't seem to take a set at all. Plus the air pump feature allow you to customize the height based on whether you are a side sleeper or back sleeper to a level that is comfortable. I have had problem with neck pain in the past from pillows that lose their form. So far so good on this one.

I HATE writing bad reviews. This pillow was heavy and super hard. The form and the air chamber were great, but it was so hard! The gel did nothing to soften it and it was quite pointless being in there. It also had a chemical smell. So bummed. Sending it back. Sorry!

This is such a wonderful pillow. Yes, it's expensive, but it is worth it. This is actually my second time purchasing one, the first was through a doctor and this is a better deal. I shouldn't admit this, but I will for the sake of understanding the high quality of this pillow, but my last one lasted about 8 years, (I know too long, I should have replaced a few years before). It has a lot of support for your neck and is just wonderful. Absolutely worth the price.

I really had high hopes for this pillow and liked to idea of adjustable cervical support. However, for me at least, this pillow is too soft and the neck roll does not inflate sufficiently to provide enough support. When it's fully inflated, the neck roll is higher in the middle and tapers off on both sides. I ended up replacing the adjustable cushion with a foam noodle roll, and that helped quite a bit, though it's not adjustable. One thing good about this pillow is that it seems to stay fairly cool, but for the cost, it should be better.

I LOVE this pillow! I experienced a morning stiff neck off and on for years, and finally figured out it was my pillow causing the problem. After buying regular pillows and having to replace them within a few months, I tried a water core pillow. It worked great, until it developed some leaks in the seam... (No more water pillows for me.) I saw this one, read the reviews, but was a little hesitant because of the cost. I received it quickly, and after using it a little over a week, I have not had a stiff neck one single morning! It is worth every penny and I highly recommend it!

I have been using for a week. It took me 2-nights to adjust the inner air chamber, but is it now very nice sleep! I really like the pillow thus far.
