My neck is adjusting well to the pillow. I think it will be what I need. I’ve only used it for a week. It took much longer to ship than I expected. The special pillow case they recommended is no better than the one I already had. But I have a king bed so the king size pillow case fit it very well. The pillow itself gives good support, doesn’t seem any cooler than any other pillow but I wasn’t disappointed because I didn’t expect it to be.

I like the latex Pill01 very much. I'm wondering, however, if I might have benefited from the larger size. I chose the medium size since I'm 5'4" and 118 lbs., but I'm liking the height of the Pill01 better on the side I added the insert under. Planning to request a second insert to raise the height of the other side as well. Grateful for such a healthy, well-made product.

Since sleeping on my Pillo1, I have NOT had ANY neck or shoulder pain upon waking. Still trying to get used to sleeping on my back, the little humps are kind of awkward- but so far it is all working out beautifully. :)

I waited 9 months to complete this review to provide my fully tested impressions of the Pillo1. I purchased the Latex version of the original Pillo1 in Oct 2018, so my opinions are related to this specific pillow. In 2014, I had total disc replacement surgery in which a stainless steel Prestige device was surgically implanted between my C6-C7 vertebrae in my neck. While this resolved a painful pinched nerve condition, it created other neck and back pain issues that have caused chronic pain ever since (24/7). As a result, I have had great difficulty reaching REM sleep, much less sleeping through the night. I believed the pillow I used was causal to this condition and hampered sound sleep. I went on a "quest" to find the perfect pillow (and mattress) to resolve some of these issues and have tried 8 different "therapeutic" pillows...each promising superior support to achieve the natural curvature of the neck while you sleep. All failed, even after giving them ample time to break in and me time to adjust (months of use in all cases). This brings me to Pillo1. I read the "hype" by Dr. Hall which sounded eerily familiar with many other ads I'd fallen for in the past...but, there was something different about the construction, materials, and reviews that I read. So, I reluctantly found a nice coupon code to reduce the price of the Latex version (as I value a "cool" pillow and organic materials near my face) and placed my order. From night 1, I knew there was something VERY different about this pillow. It adequately upheld my neck and cradled my head as I slept on my back and the sides worked great when I transitioned to side sleeping (I'm a combo position sleeper). Now that I've used this pillow for 9 months, I can say with great certainty that it contributes to MUCH BETTER SLEEP than I experienced in the 4 years after my surgery using many other 'experimental' pillows. And, 9 months later, the latex construction and cotton pillow encasement has held up pretty well. I greatly prefer the softer Talalay Latex construction over memory foam or the dense/hard Polyurethane foams I've used in the past, but I'd prefer the wedge neck extension to be constructed of the more dense Dunlop Latex, as Dunlop is a bit more firm and allegedly lasts longer. Also, an additional benefit that I didn't expect while sleeping on my back was that the side panels slightly cover my ears allowing for some sound deadening which has been beneficial for me to fall asleep faster. So, why 4 stars and not 5? While this is the very best pillow I've used post-surgery, it could use a couple improvements. First, the latex pillow does soften a bit over time, as you would expect. While this is not a deal-breaker, it is most noticeable with the wedge extension for the cervical contour of your neck, which now requires more adjustment on my part to find the "sweet spot". Also for me, the "well" that cradles your head is not deep enough...I noticed this early on, but it seems to have gotten more pronounced over time (probably because of the neck contour softening). While an insert is included with your Pillo1 to raise your head, there is no way (short of modifying the pillow and voiding the warranty) to lower your head further in the well to ensure your neck is adequately cradled. Although this pillow is not perfect, my final conclusion is that it is undoubtedly the best neck/spine conforming pillow I have ever used. So much so, that I'll undoubtedly be a repeat customer when this one wears out (if it ever does!). I only hope that Dr. Hall reads these reviews to learn how a more customized design (e.g. deeper head well; firmer neck contour) may benefit many customers with neck/spine issues. I hope this review was helpful for those desperately seeking a solution for better neck support and sound sleep.

It is the best pillow on the market, i have tried them all, because of my cervical herniated disc. It is the only one really offering comfort in both back and side sleep. Now, that being said, it is the second one i buy, only because of height problems, and the second one still doesn't fit completely. Sleeping on the back is perfect, but sleeping on the side is always too high. I have bought medium high, in 2015, had to sell it. Bought now the low profile, and it is still too high. The pillo1 is too expense to go on buying when it is just too high, and i live in australia, so the cost of return makes return impossible. And communication with the company isn't smooth: pillo1 doesn't answer my messages just about sending the pillow to australia. I have to buy in the US, and wait for some friend to bring it along. Or buy it through ebay, which prices are much higher. I maybe should try the memory foam version, to get a softer pillow, that could match better my needs, but don't even know how to get it to Australia. I do believe the pillow should be more customisable, as in horizontal sides layer, that you could peel away according to your personal need/height/comfort feel. Each layer could be 1 or 2 cm thick, and doesn't have to go to the bottom but just to the middle of the sides deep. For now i try to cut them myself, but it is hard and not exact, as cutting foam needs professional saw. In any case, it is still the best, in concept and in back sleeping.

Perhaps a little early to write a review as was away for a few days when it arrived, so have used it for only two nights. 1st night: Know it did suggest trying only for a couple hours initially, but was bedtime when we returned home to find it had arrived, but wanted to give it a try. So, used it for the entire 7 hour night. Sleep was fair, but had a headache and sore neck in a.m. 2nd night: used pillow again all night——slept very well —-no headache or sore neck. Pleased with my new adventure with this pillow.

Love this pillow!! I’ve had so many different one, and this one has helped my neck. Very comfortable!!😊

After using the pillo1 for about a month I have become more used to it. It's difficult at first to adjust to using the sides of the pillow for side sleeping the center for back sleeping. but all in all I'm pretty pleased with it. I have arthritis in my clavicle and shoulder and this supports me better than other pillows.
