Who Should Buy This?
If you’ve spent your life searching for pillows that solve your neck and back problems, this is a big step in the right direction. People that change positions in the night might like this one a lot, too.

I’ve had chronic neck pain for a long time. Experts allege that this is because I’ve been hunched over a laptop for 15 years, but what do they know? Finding a pillow that makes my neck feel better has been a struggle for years, and I’ve tested a multitude of shapes and sizes. Nothing has helped much.
So when OmniPillow offered to send over a sample for a review, I was excited to give it a try. I’ve never really known what I’m looking for when it comes to the solution for my neck pain, but I figured a week on a queen OmniPillow wouldn’t hurt.
My Experience
At first glance, I was absolutely convinced this would never work for me. The unboxing was a classic mattress-in-a-box experience, with the pillow puffing up out of a vacuum-sealed package like bubblegum.
The queen size pillow is fairly large after it’s done expanding, and its medium-firm nature made it seem like it was something that would keep my head pushed forward all night. I’m on track to give myself a Quasimoto-style hump the way I lean forward, and if anything, my neck needs to lean farther back. I was immediately skeptical.
It’s been a little over a week and my neck pain has eased up significantly. Though it seemed too puffy to work for me, clearly it’s not. I think the key difference between this pillow and what I’ve been dealing with in the past is the fact that the OmniPillow works from all angles. It truly seems like this pillow can back up the claim of providing support in any position.
I’m a restless lunatic when I sleep, so I change positions a lot. The support from multiple angles has kept me comfortable all night, and after this many days with lessened neck pain under my belt, I really have to attribute it to the pillow.
“Easy for you to say,” you’re probably thinking. “You got the pillow for free.” And you’re not wrong. It is easy for me to say.
But here’s my secret: I think sleep is one of the few things worth spending money on. That and sushi. I won’t even consider renting a movie on Prime for $3.99, but I’d pay another $120 for this pillow. This is your sleep we’re talking about. A third of your life, ya know?
