Groove EasySleeper Memory Foam Pillow
Groove reached out to me as a physical therapist asking for an honest review of their EasySleeper Pillow specifically designed for people with neck pain. Watch the full review here: Groove Pillow Review
Highlights from the review:
This pillow is made of durable, firm memory foam. It is well designed and manufactured with quality materials. No smell when opening the box!
Designed to maintain neutral alignment in the cervical spine when sleeping on the back or the side.
For side sleepers: The foam is thicker on the edges of the pillow to support the cervical spine since the shoulders elevate the head and neck when sleeping on the side. This fit is highly individual based on shoulder width. Neck thickness also makes a difference. This height might be too low for some, too high for some and likely just right for many with medium shoulder width.
For back sleepers: The foam is thinner in the center of the pillow to support the cervical spine without elevating the head. This fit is also individual based on body and neck thickness. This may also be just right for some while being too high or low for others.
Most notable in this design is a downward slope toward the top of the pillow:
I imagine the purpose of this slope is to prevent elevating the head, which is typical in a standard pillow, and the cause of neck pain for many people. The dip allows the head to rest lower than where the neck is supported, which maintains the cervical curve while sleeping on the back and allows space for the ear and side of the head while side sleeping, which also maintains neutral cervical spine alignment. For me, this feels fine when sleeping on my back; however, when sleeping on my side, my head feels like it’s tilting down, which does not maintain a neutral spine. I’m able to adjust by bringing my head down a little bit, but that decreases support at my neck. This is not a flaw in the pillow design but more a reflection of how individual the fit is.
