InteVision Four Position Support Pillow (20.5" x 8" x 4.5") - Provides Best Support for Sleeping on Side or Back - Helps Relieve Back Pain

After reading some of the negative reviews I almost didn't buy this pillow. The price was so good, I decided to try it anyway. I'm so glad I did. I love this thing. I'm normally a side sleeper; but sometimes I like to sleep on my stomach or back. Back and knee problems have prevented this entirely until I received a ComfiLife Orthopedic Knee Pillow for Sciatica Relief, Back Pain, Leg Pain, Pregnancy, Hip and Joint Pain - 100% Memory Foam Wedge Contour as a gift. The knee pillow is really great too. For short periods of time I used it as a support to lie on my side and stomach and it helped a lot, but was kind of small and awkward for very long. But, it gave me hope and that's why I bought this, I slept all night on my back! It's firm without being hard and provides excellent support behind knees (for back sleeping) or ankles (for stomach sleeping) . The packaging was a little time consuming to open because it's squished so tightly with no air and a lot of plastic and tape. I was afraid of cutting the pillow. Once I got it open the thing expanded like crazy instantly. The slipcover fits well and was easy enough to get on. It's kind of wrinkly, but, not a biggie for me.

This pillow is just the right height for me to use under my knees when sleeping on my back. Many bolster-type pillows are too high for me. (I am 5 '2" tall.) It takes the pressure off the lower spine where I had surgery and helps keep back pain, sciatica, and leg spasms to a minimum. I was using a larger, heavier pillow that I had to fight with and twist too much to get into place. This one is light and easy to move around. It has a removable, navy blue cotton cover that can be washed. And it cost much less than others I saw online and in medical equipment stores. I also sometimes use this pillow between my knees when sleeping on my side, but find it not quite as comfy for me in that position. It is just a little too thick to be perfect while side sleeping. I still do use it, though, because it is just easier to use one pillow, rather than two, when turning from back to side during the night.

First, your product is fantastic. However, it is truly NOT what I had envisioned. "designed to make you feel soft and comfortable" -- this is NOT a SOFT product by any means. And this size -- 9" x 21" -- is a LOT bigger than other "bolster pillows", which are usually about a 6" diameter. This item is truly a SIDE or LEG support ONLY, with no true advantages when using it for ANY neck support. BUT, that cotton cover is just frosting on this cake, as it is supremely comfortable. My only other concern is how it is packaged -- it is vacuum compressed and rolled up, then wrapped and taped EXCESSIVELY, and the product information is ADHERED to the plastic !! Have product info as a leaflet or single sheet INSERTED INTO the bag, NOT adhered to it. AND this is NOT a usable item upon receipt, as it takes a while to expand Thank you, though, for a damn good side bolster, as it DOESN'T move around as much as my other bolsters !!

Sit on your bed, and lean your back, on this pillow, and it will hold you up in a comfortable position...very firm and soft!!!

The product is not as big as I thought, but it is alright for support.

Was very happy with the bolster from the minute I got it. The smooth cotton cover didn't have any irriratining seams, and the pillow itself has two layers of different foam core, so it gives enough for neck and prone back use, but is plenty firm for knees and upright back use. I had a minor issue with the pillowcase I wasn't sure I could effectively fix myself, and contacted the seller. They were very responsive, and when they weren't able to source a replacement case, let me know they have sent out a replacement unit. Very glad, as I am using this bolster post-operatively, and hunting down a workable case or replacement would be another task on an already too long list. Have fabric taped the zipper-case disunion to get me by until then.

This use to be a great pillow when they were making it with a higher density foam which was all yellow. Now since they have chanced it to a blue border on it, it is way too soft. No support after 5 minutes for side sleepers. It squashed down to 2-3” and I was laying on it on the widest 8” part of it too. By morning, my shoulders & neck are hurting really bad. A waste of money if you are looking for any head & neck support. Please go back to the higher density foam you use to make this pillow with.

Decent for putting under knees while sleeping, which does reduce low back pain. Seems to have held it's shape and firmness. Lowered rating due to having to wash the cover (separately) before use, the height is a bit low, and most of all the slippery fabric it's covered with makes the pillow move around too much for this active sleeper.
