 FOSSFILL Comfort U is best May 16, 2008
By Rebecca
Some reviewers here have complained that the pillow flattens too easily. Note that according to the web site sitincomfort (The Comfort Store), there are two kinds of Comfort U pillows: one is stuffed with Fusion Fiberfill, and the other is stuffed with Fossfill. The Fusion Fiberfill is what's being sold on this Amazon page. Read carefully; other Amazon sellers stock the Fossfill version.
This is an important point to consider, depending on your priorities. My understanding is that the Fusion Fiberfill is supposed to feel more like a real down pillow--which means it's likely to need to be fluffed more, too. Tricky with such a big pillow.
So I recomend doing a little research and checking out the Fossfill version. The Fossfill version is allegedly better at maintaining its shape, and also lets air circulate better so it's not as hot.

 Perfect for Fibromyalgia pain and/or headaches Apr 20, 2007
By DAVERAT
"daverat"
I suffer from chronic joint pain and severe headaches. My doctor recommened that I look into a maternity body pillow similar to this product since I could use it to support my back and hips when i sleep on my side and that by using the u-shaped pillow as my only neck and head pillow, ease the muscle tension that aggravated my headaches. He was so right! I purchased this product, the Comfort U pillow and once I modified a bit, it was perfect. it tends to be a little too long on the sides and as a result, it flattens out where your legs rest on it. It is also a little underfilled. To correct that, I got two elastic hair bands and turned the U upside down so it was resting on the U. I then took the ends and shook all the stuffing down each arm until I had siz to 8 inches of empty pilow case. I wrapped the hair elastics around the ends, pinching the empty part shut so that the filling couldn't get back in there. When I patted the pillow down to make the stuffing even, it was nice and firm no longer had a tendency to go flat. It's an easy thing to do if you want a firmer pillow.
That said, I recommend that you Google a different store called "the Comfort Store" because they sell this for the same exact price but offer free shipping which will save you over $30. be aware that the Comfort U pillow comes with one white pillow case shaped to fit the pillow. You can purchase extra pillow cases for aboyt $34. I bought one in beige and I liked it much better than the white one. it matched my yellow floral bedding. They offer a blue pillow case as well (sold separately). The money you save on shipping by buying from the Comfort Store can buy you an extra pillow case!
Whatever you do, consider getting this if you are a side sleeper stuffing pillows behind your back and between your legs for support. Once you get used to sleepig with this pillow with your arm underneath it and your other arm over it, you'll notice you awaken less during the night to turn. My only complaint, and it is a minor one, is that the pillow tends to reflect your body heat back to you. I am always too warm, even in airconditioning, so I found cooling a gel pack in the freezer for half an hour and sliding that between my forehead and the pillow solves that problem quickly. That might not even be a problem for other people. trust me, if you have joint pain, this pillow is the solution.

Can't be without my Comfort U Nov 20, 2006
By Lilly
I have fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome and endure much pain during the night. It was totally impossible for me to get comfortable until the Comfort U Pillow was delivered to my door. I can honestly say that it truly does help me get a better night sleep in addition to decreasing the pain. This pillow has brought me many painfree nights of sleep.

Nice pillow for the first month Jan 30, 2007
By C. Young
"C. Young"
I really liked this pillow at first. It was comfortable and just the right size. After a month, however, the pillow has lost a lot of its personality and has become pretty flat. Most pillows will crush down after time, so I can't really say I'm all that disappointed. However, for the price, I was hoping it was constructed out of more sturdy material.

Too firm for me Feb 24, 2007
By H. Lewis
I bought this for a lot more money at the Relax The Back store. Amazon has a much better price. I like the design of it but it has some flaws. The pillow case is hard to get onto the pillow and stretches taught right where I'd like to rest my head making it a bit uncomfortable. Also the lower "legs" of the product are much too firm to have between my knees. It raises my leg up too high and hurts my hip. I'm 5'7" so this isn't a problem of being too petite. A flat spot has formed within a few days where I have to lift it open to get in and out of bed. I still like it and haven't found anything comparable.
