A place to rest your arms on both sides

The shaped side areas give your hands or forearms a place to rest. The numbered points show both spots and the other contours of the white pillow.

  1. Hollow middle

    The dip where the back of your head goes when you're on your back.

  2. Raised wings

    Higher than the middle. Turn onto your side and your head lands on one.

  3. Left arm resting area

    A shaped spot where you can rest your hand or forearm.

  4. Right arm resting area

    A matching spot on the other side for your hand or forearm.

  5. Front edge

    The curved edge that sits under your neck.

See the side arm rest in use

While lying on your side, rest a hand or forearm on the shaped area beside your head. The white pillow has a matching space on the other side.

On your back

On your back

Your head settles into the dip in the middle.

On your side

On your side

Roll onto one of the raised wings. It's higher than the middle, so your neck isn't left hanging.

On your stomach

On your stomach

The maker lists it for stomach sleepers too. Start with the lower edge.

Two edge heights

Higher edge

Higher edge

More lift under your neck. A good place to start if you sleep on your side.

Lower edge

Lower edge

Turn the pillow around to try the lower edge.

Your head stays in the middle

The hollow holds the back of your head, the raised sides keep it from rolling off, and the edge fills the space under your neck. Not propped up, not dropped back, not sliding to one side.

  • In the middle, not off to the side

    The hollow holds the back of your head and the raised sides keep it from drifting to one side.

  • Not too high, not too low

    The edge under your neck fills the gap, so your head isn't propped up or left to drop back.

  • Two edge heights

    Turn the pillow around to try its higher or lower edge.

A cool touch cover

Next to a regular pillow

What the shape changes, drawn simply.

Topic The Cradle A regular pillow

On your back

Your head settles into the hollow and the front edge sits under your neck.

Your head sits on top, which can leave a gap under your neck.

On your side

The wings are higher than the middle, so turning over lifts your head a little.

The same height all the way across, whichever way you turn.

Simplified drawings, not to scale. The dashed line follows head, neck and shoulders. They show the shape, not a medical result.

The first few nights

A new shape takes getting used to. Here's what to expect, and what to do if it isn't right.

  1. Night 1

    It feels different

    Firmer and more shaped than a regular pillow. That's normal for contoured memory foam.

  2. Nights 2 to 3

    Move it, not you

    Pull it closer to your shoulders so the front edge sits under your neck. Try the other edge to change the height.

  3. Week 2

    A fair test

    By now you've slept on your back and on both sides. You'll know if the height suits you.

  4. Day 30

    Last day to start a return

    If it isn't for you, start a return within 30 days. What can be returned, and in what condition, is in our returns policy.

About The Cradle

What makes The Cradle different?

The hollow center and raised wings make room for different positions. Its two edge heights let you turn the white pillow around to try a different fit.

How high is it?

The maker lists it as up to 4.5 in high, with a higher and a lower long edge.

Does the cover come off?

Yes. The white cover zips off and can be machine washed.

Will I sleep hot on it?

Memory foam tends to hold more warmth than a fiber-filled pillow. If you sleep very hot, keep that in mind before you buy.

Can I wash the foam?

No. Only the cover is washable. Let the foam air out and spot clean it if you need to.

Is it a medical product?

No. It's a pillow, not a medical device, and it isn't meant to treat anything. If your neck hurts regularly, see a doctor or physical therapist.

I really like this cervical pillow. It feels comfortable and provides good support for my neck while I sleep. It works well whether I sleep on my side or on my back. With this pillow, I feel much more comfortable while sleeping.

Not for me. Kinda got used to the back sleeper position but not completely comfortable. I also side sleep and the creases from the pillow molding is uncomfortable on the side of my face. Since it's molded in different areas in the pillow there really isn't a smooth area for the side of my face.

Bought this over a month ago, still cannot get used to it. I will keep trying, but be aware, it definitely takes time to adjust!

I am a side sleeper and have a straight neck. I have suffered from my shoulder for years and have tried all kinds of pillows. Really comfortable and supportive! The cooling feel is great, and it helps keeps my neck in a comfortable position while sleeping. Definitely worth trying if you want better neck support. It is a bit bulky and not really a great looking pillow so I hid it in place during the daytime.

I would have given this pillow 5 star, but it was a little too thick for my neck. I have smaller shoulders so it didn't work as desired for me. I think it would be perfect for someone with wider shoulders.

Surprisingly comfortable with adequate support. I have a pretty big head and was worried that this pillow wouldn’t provide enough support. It provides a good amount of form support, yet it’s still comfortable for me. I get a good night’s sleep using it.

I love this pillow. It's very comfortable and soft. Now when I wake up in the morning there's no neck pain. There's no back pain. I just feel great. I jump up and get up and go. I would highly recommend this pillow for folks who are experiencing pain with regular pillows when they wake up from a night's sleep. My granddaughter purchased this as well and she loves it.

It’s great & seems to be helping with my neck and shoulder pain. It does take some getting used to. I was a bit sore at first from the pillow.

From someone who neber leaves reviews...i must. I have severe neck pain due to bad pillows. It has lasted almost 2 months. This pillow is magic. While I still am recovering due to a possible pinched nerve I have never slept better in my life. Its cooling, soft and cradles your neck and head to perfection. Just buy it. Im buying a second ine for someone else now.

Great pillow. I needed the extra insert and they were quick to ship it to me. The extra insert gave it just the right amount of height.

I have been suffering with neck and shoulder pain for over a year and a half. Went to physical therapy for 6 months which sort of helped, but the pain returned and kept getting worse. Finally caved and purchased this pillow and after just one nights sleep, WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Have been using it for a few months now and the nightly pain is gone! Just purchased both my parents a pillow each and they both suffer from neck and shoulder pain as well. They LOVE it!

It kind of works and kibd of doesn’t it doesn’t sink enough its a little firm however your head neck should ratio matters. I kept it because its still better than pillow alternatives. A little softer would be nice and maybe an inch lower. Probably great for deeper shoulder neck people.

Very supportive pillow for my neck and so comfortable any position you lay.

This pillow is amazing! I wake up pain free, and I am not making this up. I have had headaches almost every morning for years due to neck issues and this pillow has helped me wake up feeling great. I sleep better, and feel better. It aligns my neck perfectly and gives some pressure just at the right spots on my neck to help eliminate the tension from wrong pillows that sag and put my neck in weird positions that cause the pain. This pillow sits right up against my shoulder to perfectly hold my head in place.I highly recommend this pillow for anyone that has headaches, neck problems it tension in the bottom of your head and to of your neck!
