I was searching for a pillow that would support my head, and reduce my shoulder and neck pain in the mornings, and this has done a great job! I have had it for 2 weeks now, and already I'm noticing the positive difference. I struggle with tight shoulder and neck muscles in general, and I also carry a lot of stress there (esp. in my shoulders). Every morning I would wake up and my muscles would be tight and sore. I am a side-sleeper, and regularly I'd have troubles getting comfortable and sleeping soundly with the pillows I was using. I've since discovered that the loft of both pillows I've had before were way too high for me. Since using this pillow, though, I have found the right adjustment for my body and sleeping position, and am very pleased with how comfortable it is and how much support it gives. The first two or three nights were a little rough, because I was experimenting with the loft in the pillow, but once I got it right, it has helped me sleep better and wake up relaxed and not sore. I was a bit surprised at the firmness of it (because the fill is so soft), but I'm actually really pleased with the support and comfort. I've always considered myself a "soft-pillow" person, but this has changed my mind! It doesn't make my ears sore when I sleep on one side or the other for a long time like some other pillows. Other reviewers have commented on the rubbery smell--I did notice that it smelled like balloons when it first arrived, but after tossing it in the dryer on low for 10 minutes, the smell reduced dramatically, and after a couple days it was pretty much gone. Occasionally, I get whiffs of it here and there, but it's not strong enough to bother me in the least (and I'm really sensitive to smells, esp. chemicals). I use a standard pillowcase with it, and it works great. No need to shell out extra money to find a fitted case. My advice to potential buyers: Be patient when experimenting with adjusting the loft of the pillow. The first few nights might be rough because you're still finding what works, but don't give up on this pillow! Once it's adjusted correctly for you, I think you'll find it very comfortable and effective in reducing muscle stiffness and soreness.UPDATE: 3/07/19I am loving this pillow more and more over time! The latex smell is entirely gone now. (Not that it was bad in the first place but I am pleased that it wasn't permanent) Still no neck and shoulder pain/stiffness in the mornings--very pleased!

After years of searching for the perfect pillow that fits my short neck and side sleeper needs I found it!!! Seriously, tried solid foam, grated foam, My Pillow (too hot!), down like, Pancake pillow, L shaped pillow, Joy Mangano Hsn pillow, Soba, Memory Foam, 1/2 memory foam or latex & half polyester. I even created my own by combinng more than one pillow into two.Cheap or expensive, its ridiculous. Finally, Goldie Locks found one that 'Is Just Right'! The Pancake pillow was almost there but had down like polyester that ultimately was too soft for me, i felt that if there could be some structure to it, it would be a perfect pillow. So getting back to the Artisan pillow. They did combine the perfect elements of latex (not hot) and polyester down like material interwoven to make (for me) the perfect comfort. It hold your face without it turning and not being able to breath, soft enuf yet firm enough. Comfy to put my arm under it. No neck aches, tossing & turning, re scrunching the shape, no hotness. Just a solid good night's sleep. Finally. Most pillow I tried got thrown on the floor within the first hour. Not this one. I only had it a week and took it to a Hotel and forgot it. I was so upset I ordered a back up one today. I dont even want to go another night without it. Had to sleep on My Pillow last night and have a crick in my neck and a headache and sweated all night. Try this, I'd be shocked if you didnt love it. Make sure to tak some stuffng out ( I took a couple of quarts). Smell wasnt bad at all and gone after first night.

This is a nice pillow. The shape is perfect. The filling is super soft and not lumpy like shredded foam. It arrives overfilled. I took out 3 big handfuls, put them in the cloth pouch that comes with it, and it was perfect. That way I can add it back later when it settles. There were a lot of questions about the pillowcases. This pillow is not that big, which is why I included my hand in the picture. It fits perfectly in a queen size pillow case. I do think the price is kind of high though. But it does support my neck well and I don’t wake up with pain. So I guess it is worth it🙂
