Sidney Sleep Set of 2 Queen Size Bed

Great for side sleepers and neck pain!
*This is a HONEST review from a real buyer! I read reviews about everything before purchasing and I often feel mislead.. I hope that my review can help someone else who may be having the same issues or sleep in the same strange position as I do*After suffering a neck and shoulder injury in early January I’ve spent the whole year and a ton of money searching for and testing anything and everything to provide even the slightest bit of relief. Finally my search has ended thanks to this pillow!I am an avid side sleeper and although medium to hard pillows are recommended, my whole life I have gotten away with the big soft fluffy pillows with no problems at all, that is until my injury. On my 2022 pillow hunt journey I’ve tried pillows made of all different things, shapes and sizes and each one seemed to be worse than the last and almost all of them (although the claim to be medium) are so hard I swear you can knock someone out with it.The Sidney pillow was one of the first to go in my cart but I kept putting it off due to some of bad reviews I read (particularly the chemical burn ones) and ended up going for more expensive pillows.HUGE MISTAKE!Finally I was in such extreme pain, sleep deprived, desperate and seen this pillow could arrive that night so ordered it and ordered 2 other kinds of pillows as well just incase.. Sidney pillow showed up around 4 am I immediately took it out of the package threw my own pillow case over it and tried laying on it right away before it fully expanded. There was a slight smell but I didn’t care I had no patience and I just wanted sleep. After a few minutes I decided to add more stuffing (because it had not yet expanded fully) and layed back down and FINALLY got some sleep. When I woke up I did remove some of the stuffing and put it back in the bag and left the pillow to lay out with both the cover it comes with and my own off for the remainder of the day and occasionally fluffing it. By bedtime the smell was gone and it took just a little fluffing to get it how I wanted it and then I drifted off to the land of nod.The sidney pillow is what I would consider a “medium” pillow. Not so hard you feel like your laying on a rock but not so soft you have no neck support and falling into it. The slight curve in the pillow may not look as though it would make that big of a difference. I personally underestimated the curve lol. Now I can’t imagine using a pillow without that curve. Ive tried many contour pillows but they are always so hard and they dont properly support the curve of my neck as they are to high and seem to be more for back sleepers. I never sleep with my pillow laying horizontally.. I like to sleep on my right side with my right arm upwards and underneath my pillow and kinda hug it. Normally this makes me need two pillows one to hug and another to lay my head on but that needs constant adjustment as I move or there are L or J shapped pillows but those do not provide enough pillow to hug on the longer leg side of it plus they take up a lot of space in bed. So if you sleep like me, the curve with the Sidney Pillow allows you to perfectly form around it and the pointed corner ends wraps under your neck and head and around your shoulder giving the extra support normal rectangular pillows do not.After the first time sleeping on it I already felt less neck pain when waking up. After 3 days zero neck pain or shoulder pain upon waking up. Of course as the day goes on depending what I’m doing the pain starts to creep back up on me but with the help of this pillow I’m easily and comfortably able to get to sleep each night. No more tossing and turning all night, no smell after airing the pillow out and allowing it to expand properly and no chemical burn which was my biggest fear cause I have super sensitive skin. I do not feel the cubes of stuffing as others said through the pillow case when I lay on it or even by running my hand over it. The cubes are very tiny and in no way jabbing at your face lol. It does take a little fluffing at first but I have not needed to constantly fluff it or had issues with it losing its shape. In fact the longer I’ve used it the better it has gotten as it has molded perfectly to me and my bodies natural curves and where I need the support.I know going off others reviews is difficult when it comes to pillows because everyone is different and sleeps differently but I truly think this pillow could be the one for just about anyone as it’s easily adjustable to your liking of firmness and it molds to you and your body and sleeping position rather than the permanent pre cut and shaped you see with other pillows.I definitely recommend this pillow just be sure to remove the pillow case it comes with and allow it to air out and occasionally fluffing it during this process to release the fumes and help it expand properly. You may want to play around with the amount of stuffing you want in it to find what is best for you but don’t lose patience if the first night it’s not perfect because the more you sleep on it the more it will form to you and your curves. It truly becomes a pillow that seems as if it was molded just for you. I also don’t recommend using it as a pillow you lean against in bed when sitting up reading or watching tv because that will change the form it has built for your individual neck, head, and shoulders.

Too big to be travel pillows; very soft pillows made out of foam pieces; have smell to them – 3.5*
I ordered these based on all the five star reviews. I really like these pillows but am not in love with them.There are two pillows in this set and they are not mini-pillows to me. There is also a package of cut up foam in case I want to put more of this foam in the pillow. In addition, there is a cloth backpack (see photo).These pillows are soft and comfortable to use. I love the crescent design. However, they are made of cut up foam. Had I known that, I might not have ordered them. I hate cut up foam. They also have a smell to them that I hope will go away over time. I am glad, however, that these are not mini in size. I consider them medium-sized pillows. The outer shell is a zippered pillowcase and then there is an interior white zippered cover holding the foam together. The extra foam can be added here.I waited until there was a discount on these before purchasing so the current price at the time I ordered was $37.49 plus tax (instead of $49.99 plus tax). For that price I think these are competitively priced. To me these are 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars. If this were solid memory foam and did not smell, then I would have rated them 5 stars.

Very comfortable but not terribly unique and has chemical smell.
THE GOOD: The pillow is very comfortable, offers great support, and adjusts as you roll side or back. It has small pieces of memory foam that adjust to your position and I do like it. It isn’t too heavy or too formed like some other neck or side-sleeper pillows. I have kept it and sleep well. It offers great loft (stays high) and I did not use the extra stuffing. It is also not hot, which for those with hot-flashes is helpful.THE USELESS: I don’t like the crescent shape because I don’t find that useful and it makes my pillowcase bunch up around the crescent. The pillow case it comes with is soft and comfortable but I needed more layers to get away from the chemical smell (the case it comes with, then a pillow case liner, then my pillow case).THE BAD: The smell is VERY chemical. I aired it without the case for five days, fluffing it a lot, rotating it, moving the stuffing around to air it out. It took five days to be able to tolerate the smell. I did put it into the tumble dryer but that didn’t do anything. I did wash the cover it came with. The smell is light and tolerable but chemical still. Makes me wonder if its bad for my health. I want to dump the stuffing into a big bin and air it more, without any case or liner, and see if that helps.

I have two pillows at different lofts for me and my boyfriend because we have different needs. It came too firm so we had to take out a few handfuls. It has a foam smell that gave me a headache the first night, aired it out the open window for a day, and was able to tolerate it the second night. Great quality product.Now I have two unopened/unused extra foam pillings that feels terrible to throw out. ANYONE WANT THESE FOR FREE? I can ship from Canada, you take care of shipping fee.

The pillow is really cozy and comfortable. I can have a very nice sleep the whole night what ever my position it is. Really enjoy it.
