For years, I was never comfortable with any of the basic pillow styles offered in stores. "Soft" options never gave enough support, and even "medium" options often pushed my neck up to an uncomfortable angle. Finally, after a night where I got exactly one hour of sleep due to my neck being so uncomfortable on the pillow I had, I ordered this in desperation.
It took a few nights to get used to, which I suppose was the time it took for my neck to get back into alignment, but after those first few nights, I came to adore this pillow! It neither pushes my head up nor lets it sink down -- it keeps it in a straight line with my shoulders, which is wonderful. I get such good sleep now, and rarely wake up in the middle of the night. To tell the truth, I actually look forward to getting into bed each night, because I know I will have such a comfortable place to lay my head. I recommend using a silk pillowcase for extra comfort and softness.
A few things to note: As I said above, it might take a few nights to get used to the pillow, especially if you haven't slept on memory foam before. But if you experience this, my suggestion is not to give up! Just give it a little while, and if you're like me, your body will get back into alignment soon.
Additionally, because the pillow is low, it's sometimes easy to get your shoulders up on top of the pillow when you first lay down, which will cause your head to tilt toward it. (The pillow is meant to be at the same height as the shoulders, so if the shoulders are on top of it, that messes up your alignment.) So just make sure that it is well up above your shoulder line when you lay down, and you should be fine.
So overall, I really recommend this pillow. It is one of the best purchases I have made in recent memory, and has really improved the comfort and quality of my sleep. If you also have trouble with "standard" pillow sizes, give this one a try. I think you'll be glad that you did!
