Description

The adjustable-height Side Solution Pillow provides customized comfort for a better night’s sleep. It features three memory-foam layers that can be easily removed and reinserted into its smooth microfiber slipcase to achieve the desired height. It provides superior support for side sleepers of any size to attain optimal spine alignment. In addition, its curved indentation cradles the shoulder, neck and head, which can also help reduce pain, snoring, even symptoms of mild sleep apnea. The ventilated viscoelastic memory-foam core provides cool, lightweight breathability; it’s also naturally odor-resistant due to integrated green tea, activated charcoal and castor oil.

Features/Benefits:
  • Personalized support: Removable layers for the height that’s right for you.
  • Greater comfort: Cradles your shoulder, neck and head while you sleep.
  • Less pain and stiffness: Neck and shoulder are properly positioned for less stiffness, less stress on joints, and better circulation.
  • Better breathing: Helps reduce snoring, even mild sleep apnea.
  • Microfiber zippered case.
  • Machine-washable slipcase.
Available in three different types:
  • Deluxe: measures 26.5" x 19.5" x 6"; height is adjustable from 3" to 6"; memory foam; zippered case includes microfiber fill.
  • Standard: measures 25" x 17.5" x 6"; height is adjustable from 3" to 6"; memory foam.
  • Non-Adjustable Polyfill: measures 22.5" x 15.75" x 6"; height is not adjustable; polyfiber filling.
Extra custom-fit pillow cases are also available here (sold separately).

Overview


Absolutely Satisfied

I am absolutely satisfied with my pillow. No more stiff shoulders and neck in the morning and my snoring has been reduced to one time in two weeks that I have been using it. Well worth the price.

--Nelson Goodwin, about 3 weeks ago

I will NEVER sleep on any thing else.

I have tried SO MANY pillows cheap and very expensive. This pillow is the best. I sleep sound. Without neck pain or shoulder pain. I love it so much i bought two more to make sure I will have a good pillow for years to come. This pillow should be in every hotel and hospital. I will NEVER sleep on any thing else.

--Sharon Roberts, about 4 weeks ago

Very Pleased

It took a little time to become adjusted to this new type of pillow--but I must say I have not had a stiff neck since using it. I am very pleased with this outcome.

--elaine halperin, about 2 months ago

Absolutely Love It!

I love this pillow! I fall asleep faster, no wrestling a pillow into shape. I have arthritis in my neck, but since I have been using the Side Solution, not a twinge so far. And my back seems to like it, too. I'm sold!

--Sleeping in Toronto, about 2 months ago

Perfect for extracting drool

I bought this Side Solution pillow a few months ago. It has a comfy-looking design with a U-shaped notch for your shoulder. Inside the zippered cover, which is filled with mystery fluff, are three stacked foam pads approximately one inch thick. You can remove any of the pads if the pillow feels too tall. It is a very firm, very heavy pillow.

One of the obvious issues with a uniquely shaped pillow is that normal pillowcases don't work well. The Side Solution pillow is designed to be used without a pillowcase, but I like to cover my pillows with an anti-allergen barrier and head-cooling sateen. With some squeezing and wiggling, I can pull the Side Solution pillow into a queen-size pillowcase, but the fabric bunches around the shoulder notch and I sometimes wake up with a pinched ear. The padded cover also doesn't launder very well; the inner fluff gets slightly lumpy. Also, the zipper feels especially delicate.

My chief complaint about this pillow is that it's too much work to find a neutral head-neck position. Every time I turn over during the night, I have to maneuver my shoulder into the notch, straighten my back (no curling up in 'full fetal' with this pillow), and then experiment a few times with the forward/backward tilt of my head. This demands more conscious effort (practice?) than simply rolling over in bed the way one does with a regular pillow, and I feel like the quality and quality of my sleep have suffered as a result.

The major benefit of this pillow is that it has dramatically reduced my neck pain. This is no small point. I would definitely recommend this pillow for people who need support around the base of their neck. Beats a stack of mushy regular pillows any day!

--MrHousebroken , about 2 months ago

Too Fluffy

a little too fluffy for me with my neck issues, im hoping the more i sleep with it that it will flatten out a little.

[Reply from AbsolutelyNew: You purchased the non-adjustable version. It will flatten a little over time, but if you want a better fit, consider using one of our adjustable versions instead (standard or deluxe). They're a little more expensive than the version you bought, but it's a nominal extra cost, especially compared to the amount of time you'll be sleeping on it and the importance of sleep to your health and well-being.]

--audrey, about 2 months ago

Definitely Helping

the side solution pillow is definitely helping. I'm experiencing less neck pain and stiffness. I had been using a memory foam pillow but the way it was contoured didn't work all that well for me. The ssp has worked better and I do like its versatility. Thanks.

--Bob C., about 4 months ago

Best pillow EVER for a real side sleeper!

I've tried at least a dozen pillows that are supposedly designed for side sleepers. (Yes, even the "new" side sleeper pillow now at Walgreens. And that one was weird--it had a "lobe" which sort of grabbed my upper back and you were supposed to jam your ear into a sort of ear hole. Never worked. Awful!) Blech! They either left me with a stiff neck or dropped my head backwards into a ditch. I finally found the PERFECT pillow for a side sleeper. This one (by a company called "AbsolutelyNew") has a shape that allows my shoulder to tuck in--and although it looked too tall to be comfortable for my head, after a night's adjustment, has turned out to be the most comfortable pillow I've ever owned. I got the fiberfill one (not the memory foam) as I find foam to be too hard (like a block) and sometimes too hot. Besides, after trying out so many bad side pillows made of foam and other junk, I hungered for a real poly-filled pillow... you know, like normal people sleep on! The good news about this fiberfill is that it's designed so it doesn't break down and get floppy (which another "L" shaped fiber-filled pillow did after 2 nights!). Although my neck and back are good now, I have suffered with painful stiff neck in the past. But this pillow supports my head just right so I sleep soundly and feel rested. Anyway, if you always sleep on your side (like me) and are tired of trying to jam regular pillows into a good shape only to have them bounce back when you fall asleep, this pillow is for you! By the way, my chiropractor is recommending this pillow to her clients now.

Side Solution Pillow™

Alright alrghit alright that's exactly what I needed!

--Lynell, about 6 months ago

An Excellent Purchase

This pillow caught my attention because there are three parts to the pillow and I can use all three or take out one or two and use what is left. I did just that -- I took out one of the larger pieces and stored it for the future. I'm using the other larger piece and the small one and it's just the right height. Most pillows make my neck sore, but this one does not. It costs more than pillows I've tried before, but it's worth the investment!

Simple Solution

A pinched nerve in my neck made any comfortable sleep difficult, UNTIL I found this pillow. Provides gentle support while still being soft enough against my neck and shoulder. Shape prevents me from "twisting" my neck and shoulder while asleep, and I wake up with less pain.

--Kathleen from Northwest Iowa, about 7 months ago

No More Stiff Neck

"As a side sleeper, I've always had to use two pillows and would wake up with stiff neck. From the first night I used this pillow, no more stiff neck and no need for two pillows. I absolutely love it - simple yet effective design."

--Adri from Alexandria, VA, about 7 months ago

Good Value

Relax the Back makes pillows for the shoulder that come in different widths (3, 4, and 5 inches) and are almost double in price. The Side Solution pillow, with the 1, 2, and 3 inch sections, allows you to adjust to the perfect width so you don't have to know ahead of time which height will be perfect for you. The pillow is very comfortable and helps take pressure off my husband's shoulder. I would recommend this pillow for any side sleeper especially with those suffering from shoulder issues like frozen shoulder.

--Maureen from Seattle, WA, about 9 months ago

Worth every penny!

I have neck/back pain. I have bought hundreds of pillows trying to find a comfortable one, only to be disappointed after just a couple of days of use. I bought this pillow in February and after the very first night, I woke up pain free the following morning. The pillow cradles my neck and helps me to rest comfortably all night long. Six months later, it is still comfortable.

--Amanda from Greenville, SC, about 9 months ago

Restful Sleep

Slept on new pillow the last two nights. WONDERFUL support for neck and alleviation of pressure from shoulders. Just what the doctor ordered!

--Sunny , about 12 months ago

I Love This Pillow!

I'm not sure I can fully express how much I love this pillow. I injured my neck in a whiplash skiing accident a few years back and immediately began having problems with headaches and a stiff neck upon arising from sleeping in the mornings. I began chiropractic therapy and then found a great massage therapist who both worked on the condition but I was still having the occasional stiff neck in the mornings. I had been changing pillows repeatedly, always looking for "The Pillow" with enough support to end the inevitable sore neck. I found the solution in the standard side solution pillow. Although there are three sections of delightful memory foam which can be removed for a customized fit, I'm most comfortable using all three layers.

Headaches and stiff neck are a thing of the past now that I have the support my poor damaged neck needs. I have ordered a second pillow so I'll have one on each side of the bed and will be comfortable no matter which side I choose to sleep on. Thank you for creating this excellent product. It really saved my neck!

--Rebecca Mondorff, about 12 months ago

The sleep really is better

I bought this for my husband as a potential snore solution. We've tried all the different pillow types, even the one that's actually FDA approved.

Sadly, he still snores. BUT...as the suffering wife, this pillow makes it easier for me to adjust his head a bit to realign him, which makes him stop snoring...for a little while.

He says this is the best pillow he's ever had and that he doesn't feel tense around the shoulders when he wakes up.

He really likes that it's adjustable. I do too, because I've purchased some pillows in the past that lasted one night because they were too "tall."

Overall, it's a great pillow that holds its shape, and it fits with regular pillowcases which can be tucked up into the neck area easily.

--Kristin from Conway, Arkansas, about 12 months ago

FINALLY !!!

17+ yrs. ago, I was hit by a car. I have lost count of the number of procedures and surgeries I have had to repair my neck and stop the constant pain I still have today. One problem is sleeping. There is no comfortable position, and every 1-2 hours I needed to change position, rearrange the 2-4 pillows I need, and I never get enough sleep. I ordered this pillow, but didn't really expect it to make much difference. Was I wrong! I can actually get 3-4 hours of sleep at a time, and when I do wake up, all I have to do is roll over to the other side. No rearranging pillows to find comfort. The pillow is firm enough that I get excellent support, yet not so firm that it hurts. I did need to add one more 1" piece of foam I had to get it to the exact height I needed, but having something so perfect actually brought tears to my eyes when I first used it! I wish there were extra custom-fit pillow cases available so that I can put a clean one on when I need to wash the other one, but if that is the only problem, I consider myself lucky that I found something that actually allows me to get some sleep because it gives me the support (and thus some pain relief) that I so desperately need.

I love my side sleeper pillow

Just want to let you know that I love my side sleeper pillow. It's wonderful. I sleep so well on it - better than I have in years! Thank you for a marvelous product.

--Dawn Chapman, about 1 year ago

Side Sleeper pillow

I must have a closet with 10 different pillows that I have purchased in a vain attempt to find comfort. This pillow is great! I especially like the ability adjust the height to accommodate people of different sizes. The the memory foam is so soft and inviting when you lay down to rest. I LOVE it.

--Kay from New Hampshire, about 1 year ago

Shoulder Support Pillow

This pillow was recommended by a patient in the physical therapy program I attend. We both are recuperating from shoulder injuries. The other patient told me to purchase the pillow on Amazon. The dr. said I would not be able to sleep on my right side for a year, but last night, my first with this pillow, I slept on my right side and got a full night's sleep -- perhaps my first in 50 years!

--bzberlin, about 1 year ago

worth the wait

I tried half dozen other pillows for side sleepers. This is the only one that actually works. It is instantly comfortable, my head doesn't slip down in my sleep causing my neck to crimp, and I can move from side to side with equal benefit. I delayed due to the cost, and then it was on backorder. It is worth the wait. Wish I'd ordered it sooner!

Finally!

I've been on a long frustrating journey to find the right pillow. I am a side sleeper and for me a pillow needs to be relatively firm and not too high or else it pushes my head up at an awkward and uncomfortable angle. The idea that I could adjust the number of layers with this pillow was very appealing to me, as well as the curved edge which is really helpful when you are a side sleeper. I can happily report that this pillow has really worked for me. I removed a one inch layer and the height is now a perfect fit. It is also the right firmness. The only downsides are that, as good as it is for side sleeping, it is not at all comfortable when I try to sleep on my back for short periods of time. And the covering provided for the foam layers has seams that are too prominent which I found irritating to my neck and head. The solution was to place the layers in a new casing. It was definitely worth the price.

--R. Weintraub, about 1 year ago

Good night's sleep

This pillow is great for side sleepers. It keeps it's shape. No fluffing needed in the middle of the night. Helps to relieve pressure in the shoulder and neck area. I love the fact that it is adjustable for firmness.

--Diane from Rhode Island, about 1 year ago

love - love - love my pillow!!

I bought my first pillow for my husband's Christmas present. I tried it to see if I chose well and I was thrilled at my choice!

Knowing how well my husband was sleeping and comfortable I had to buy one for myself. I took one small section out to lower it a bit .. my husband didn't. I highly recommend the side solution pillow.

It is by far the best pillow we have used.

--Beverly from San Diego, CA, about 1 year ago

Better than a more expensive pillow

We've gone through quite a few 'side sleeper' and 'anti - snore' pillows. This one is by far the best. I like the fact that it is adjustable. The price is less expensive than some other pillows that did not work as well!

--Jane , about 1 year ago

Love this!!

I'm a side sleeper and have problems with my arms falling asleep and neck discomfort in the morning. I bought this pillow, laid down on it, tucked my shoulder into the recessed area and fell into the best sleep I've had in months!! I LOVE this pillow!! I think it's because my neck is finally in alignment while I sleep...I don't wake up stiff anymore. I especially like that you can remove layers of the memory foam to accommodate your own shoulders...it really is the best purchase I've made to enhance my sleep...I wake up feeling much more rested. My only gripe is that there are not pillow cases to fit it...I ended up buying some flannel stretch pillow cases at Bed Bath and Beyond but they don't quite cover the whole pillow but do allow the case to fold into the depression where your shoulder goes, where as a standard cotton case does not give in this area.

--Lynn Simmons, about 1 year ago

Perfect for a Restful Sleep

This pillow is a great buy for side sleepers. For the first time in a long while, I wake up without a sore neck. One of the things I really like about this pillow is that you can adjust it to the size you feel that is most comfortable. It is also reasonably priced for a pillow of this sort.

--Gloria from San Francisco CA, about 1 year ago

side solution pillow

I ordered this pillow for my husband and he loves it ! We have more pillows that we bought and can't sleep with than I can count.This pillow won't end up unused in a closet like countless others.

Next, I'm going to ' borrow' his new pillow for a night and see if I like it too!

--lis from portland,OR, about 1 year ago

finally a pillow that lets me sleep

I have only had this for about a month, but am sleeping much better. It is adjustable for best comfort. I only gave it 4 stars, only because I have only used it for a short time. I don't have any complaints...

--sarah , about 1 year ago

Really helps

really helped my neck pain. The only complaint is the layers sometimes shift a bit if you use less than all 3.

--Alexa, about 1 year ago

Wonderfully comfortable!

After having read the reviews already posted, I ordered this pillow hoping that the hype was real. I'm delighted to report that this IS the MOST comfortable pillow I've ever used. I experimented with adding/removing the pillow inserts until I found the combo that I liked the best. I am ordering one for my husband today and hope that it helps reduce his snoring.

--Heidi56 from Amesbury, MA, about 1 year ago

Good pillow!

I'm very happy I ordered this pillow! It really does work for a side sleeper. I experimented with changing the height, and wound up using the full available size as the most comfortable. The only reason I didn't give this five stars is it has an initial odor. I used a doubled pillowcase and gave it some air-out time, and am no longer bothered by the initial scent.

--Mary from Reston, VA, about 1 year ago

Absolutely wonderful!

This is the best pillow for a side sleeper. I've tried many different pillows attempting to provide the neck support needed to avoid headaches in the morning and this one works! I would recommend this to anyone who sleeps on their side.

--Kandy from Ohio, about 1 year ago

Best Pillow Ever

--Kathy, about 1 year ago

Best Investment I've Ever Made

This pillow is the perfect solution to my side sleeping woes. Every pillow I bought before would be fine at the beginning of use but eventually the loft would give out and I'd have a problem with a stiff, sore neck from my head sagging lower than my neck and shoulders during sleep. This pillow is the proper height and the contoured shape gives my head and neck the support they need. Hopefully the density of the memory foam will maintain the height I need for the forseeable future. I use all four layers of the pillow and have found that using a jersey knit pillow case works best as it stretches nicely over the pillow. I'm sleeping better than I have in a long time and I wake up without a sore neck, finally.

--Rebecca, Hanover, PA, about 1 year ago

Love It!

I love, love, love this pillow. I have a closet full of pillows that don't work for me, but I have slept like a baby since I started using this one. I am ordering one for my husband.

--Nancy, Gardiner, NY, about 1 year ago

At Last

My closets are filled with various pillows of assorted sizes and fillings that did not help my aching neck. I have not been to the chiropractor to have my neck adjusted since I've been sleeping with this pillow.

--Dina, about 1 year ago

Best Pillow Ever

Best pillow I have ever had. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. Thanks Solutions for giving me a good night's sleep.

--Glenna, Pueblo, CO, about 2 years ago

Comfy

i am a side sleeper and i love how this pillow cradles my head and neck in a comfy position. i wake up refreshed and pain-free. love it.

--Valerie, IL, about 2 years ago

Finally a pillow that works!

I love this pillow! I just couldn't find a pillow that was right for me. For years I would wake up with a stiff neck and shoulder pain. I tried all sorts of pillows, but I couldn't find relief. By the time I saw this pillow I was desperate and thought I would give one more pillow a try. Am I glad I did! It is one of the best items I've purchased from QVC. It didn't take me any time to adjust to sleeping with the pillow, but I felt the results almost immediately. Sleeping in a well supported position helped alleviate my aches and pains. No more stiff necks for me!

--Bee3006, about 2 years ago

Amazing Pillow

After spending hundreds on dollars for chiropractic and specialty pillows that never helped with my neck, shoulder and back problems, I finally found a pillow that really works. It took me a couple of days to get used to it, but I've never been happier with the results. No more neck pain, shoulder pain, arms falling asleep and back aches. This pillow aligns the neck and shoulder area as stated. Don't rely on the negative reviews. I've had severe neck problems for years, and this is the only pillow that ever gave me relief.

--LUC, about 2 years ago

Wonderful! No More Pillow Fights.

This pillow is wonderful. I'm a large person and this pillow has just the right firmness without being hard. I no longer fight with my pillow all night long. I have herniated disc in my neck and this pillow does a very good job of supporting my neck and head when sleeping on my side. I just love it. My daughter noticed that for as long as I've been using it that it is staying firm that she has asked for one so I'm ordering one for her and an extra one for me. I use regular pillow cases on this pillow with no problem just need to scrunch it to fit in the curve of the pillow but that does not cause a problem. Please don't change this pillow.

--Franlynn, about 3 years ago

What a RELIEF!!!

I have tried every brand and type of pillow and I have never had a better night of sleep! I was having severe neck and shoulder pain from sleeping on my side and now I wake up with no pain and sleep a full night!!! It has been so long since that has happened! I had tried all the pillows and had even tried to sleep on my back, but always ended up on my right side with the up and down nights and the pain in the morning. I am 34 and always felt like I had been beaten on my right side in the mornings when I would wake up. Now I feel great in the morning with NO pain. I would buy this pillow if you have the same issues.

--Travelgirl27, about 3 years ago

Finally Found the Right Pillow

After seeing the presentation and reading the reviews, I decided to try yet another pillow. My search for just the right one has gone on for decades. My neck has always been uncomfortable no matter what I've slept on...one, two, down, firm, soft...it's been endless. BUT NO MORE! I can't rave enough about this strange looking pillow. After just the first night, I was hooked. To finally not wake up with neck pain and stiffness is nothing short of a miracle. I'm back to buy two more. My husband now wants to try one and I want a spare. I will never be without this pillow. QVC if you ever discontinue this item, please let me know. I will buy a case of them!

--SusanNJ909, about 3 years ago

Give it a couple of nights

I have tried many, many pillows, including special "side sleepers" in order to avoid sore shoulders and neck in the morning. This pillow is truly special because of the unique shape. The first night it was a little TOO thick, but as most pillows do, it settled down after a couple of nights and is now just the right thickness and amount of support. I really hesitated to spend close to $47 for a pillow I couldn't even touch before I bought it, but I'm so glad I did. It's a wonderful pillow, even when using it to sleep on your back. I will probably buy another just in case QVC stops carrying them. I don't want to ever go back to a regular flat pillow!

--CarolN, about 3 years ago

BEST EVER

OK I used 3 pillows for years. Always waking up with headaches and neck aches, always tring to prop up more. Well guess what? Now I use only one. This one. I fall asleep and stay in one place. I would recommen this to anyone who wakes with headaches or neck aches. This keeps the spin in line. I could feel the relief the first night! If I only knew years ago...

--treepy, about 3 years ago

Best pillow ever!

I have arthritis in my neck and have tried several types of pillows before buying this one. I have never slept so good and all night for years! Thanks for bringing a pillow that has changed my life. It supports the front/back of your head and neck. I would recommend this pillow in a heartbeat.

Q & A

Extra Pillow Cases

I love this pillow. Do you sell special pillow cases for it? I like to change my pllow case every week and would like to have at least 4 extras. I have the deluxe version, largest one. If not, please consider making one in a neutral color.(ivory or cream) I think based on customer reviews, you would sell many. Thank you.

[Reply from AbsolutelyNew: Yes, we do sell extra pillow cases (in white), for both the standard and deluxe versions. They're available here: http://www.absolutelynew.com/content/search/products?keyword=pillowcase]
