Tri-Core Pillow Review

 

Maven59 has used the Tri-Core Pillow before. Here’s what he said about this pillow:

I have been using, and loving, this product for many years. It was first recommended by my chiropractor.

I just reordered and found that the product has changed for the worse. It no longer has the firm support it once gave me. I phoned customer support and they confirmed that the pillow was now made softer.

Now for those of you who have never used an anti-snore pillow before, here’s a brief orientation: These things are so hard, the only things they have in common with real pillows is that you put them under your head, and that you can use them to kill someone.

You can’t even say that you sleep on them, because if it’s the first time you’ve ever tried one of these babies, we seriously doubt you’ll get any sleep at all that night. (Have you ever tried sleeping on goose-feather pillow? This one feels like sleeping on the goose – a dead one.)

All those wives raving that their new pillow is “great because my husband didn’t snore at all last night” don’t know that their husband didn’t get any sleep at all that night.

So you may be wondering: why do people use these pillows at all?

Well the fact is, you get used to the feeling of having a dead goose under your neck. And – in this particular pillow’s case, anyway – when you do get used to it, it does prevent you from sounding like a honking goose yourself.

In other words, it works – once you get used to it.

Now Maven59, apparently, had gotten used to it. He had finally found a product that helped stop his snoring.

And then the manufacturer, looking at what he had made and seeing that it was good, fell into exactly the same trap God did when he made Adam: he tried make it better.

So God ended up creating a woman, and thus thereafter, Adam had to use an anti-snore headrest every night.

One night, he didn’t, and Eve couldn’t sleep. Fuming, she decided to take a walk all by herself in the garden. What happened after that, as the serpent would tell you, is history.

In Maven59’s case, after all the effort he had taken to learn to like the hard, uncomfortable pillow, he found that the manufacturer has decided to replace it with a soft, uncomfortable one – which now Maven59 has to learn to like again.

But a word of comfort: if Maven59 used this somewhat softer pillow long enough, we dare say he could get used to it as well. And a majority of users report that this softer version works just as well as the first one.

Cons of the Tri-Core Pillow:

• Very stiff

• Not returnable

Pros of the Tri-Core Pillow:

• Designed for both back or side sleeping

• Made of premium quality fiber

• Made with durable materials

• Stripe-patterned cover has plush expensive look and feel

• Fits a standard-sized pillow case

• Relieves neck pain as well as minimizes snoring

• Recommended by chiropractors

Recommendation and Results

When it comes to anti-snore and neck support pillows, two issues constantly crop up: they are too hard and uncomfortable, and they are unreturnable. This is a problem with practically all of them.

So basically, the question is really just this: does it work?

Users of the Tri-Core Pillow attest that it does.

If for that alone, we would already recommend this product. But there are two other things that, for us, put this pillow in a positive light.

First, it is durable. While some pillows have been reported to turn flat in a few weeks or even days, this product has been reported to stay firm and full even after several months.

The second plus to this product is its price: Some of these pillows we’ve seen reach nearly up to a hundred dollars. This pillow barely costs $40.

Because of all these reasons, we at Anti-Snore Pillow Reviews recommend the Tri-Core Pillow.

SONA FDA-Cleared Anti-Snore and Mild Sleep Apnea Pillow Review

The logic of the pillow is that if you sleep on your side, you won’t snore. But how can we make sure the sleeper sleeps on his or her side?

The genius designers of this pillow thought, “Let’s put a hole under the pillow, for the users to put their arm in, so they’ll be forced to sleep on their side.

The women will put their arm in the hole because for women, everything has to have a use: If you put wheels under the sofa, they feel obliged to roll that sofa away so they can vacuum underneath it. If you put labels on bottles, she will feel obliged to read them.

If you really want to drive a woman crazy, get your mechanic to install on your car dashboard a red button that does nothing at all. When you’re not looking, you can bet a woman would spend a good amount of time pushing that button and looking everywhere trying to find out what it does.

The men, on the other hand, will put their arm in the hole because their wives won’t stop badgering them until they do: “Honey? Honey! You’re supposed to put your arm in there. That’s what the directions said. See? It won’t work if you don’t follow directions, and we paid 56 dollars for this pillow!”

So now that users of the pillow are trapped in a side-lying position, the question is, once we’re asleep, what’s to stop us from taking our arm out of that hole? And if it’s just a matter of keeping an arm under the pillow, why couldn’t we do that with our regular pillow, which, by the way, happens to be much more comfortable and much less expensive than the SONA pillow?

The difference, we guess, is that with this pillow, there is much less pressure put on your arm than if you slept with your arm under a regular pillow. Also, the SONA pillow is uniquely shaped to prevent you from rolling over on your back, which is much too easy to do with a regular pillow.

Cons of the SONA FDA-Cleared Anti-Snore and Mild Sleep Apnea Pillow:

• You need to have your arm out of the blanket. On cold nights, you’ll probably need to wear wool knee-socks on your arms.

• Takes getting used to, but worth the effort in the end – like parenthood and flossing

Pros of the SONA FDA-Cleared Anti-Snore and Mild Sleep Apnea Pillow:

• The best pillow for side sleepers

• Compact. Good for travel.

• Filled with SofLoft fiber for firm support and consistent shaping

• Removable and machine-washable cover

• Machine-washable pillow

• Relieves mild sleep apnea as well as snoring

• Approved as a medical device by the FDA

• Made in the U.S.A.

Recommendation and Results

From just looking at the armholes under this pillow, you can see it was clearly designed for side sleeping. Yes, you’re supposed to put your arm into one of the holes. What else did you think they were put there for – to store beer cans, perhaps, in case you need a drink in the middle of the night?

“My husband kept elbowing me all night long, telling me I snored. Fortunately, I had my SONA pillow. I took one of the bottles I keep in the holes of my pillow and said to my husband, ‘Here,’ as I hit him on the head with the bottle. He fell right asleep, all sweet and sound, and never muttered another word complaint. Thank goodness for the SONA pillow!”

As tempting as it may be to do as this lady did, this is really not what the SONA pillow was designed for.

It was designed to keep you on your side. Does it work? Does it prevent snoring and sleep apnea?

In fact, the holes at the bottom of the pillow are just perfect for people who are naturally side sleepers. No more pinched, aching arms in the morning. It takes a few days before it gets comfortable, but that is common with anti-snore pillows.

But the biggest pro of this product is that it actually has a seal of approval from the FDA. At the price it has, which is just half of other pillows we’ve seen in this category, we at Anti-Snore Pillow Reviews cannot help but recommend the SONA FDA-Cleared Anti-Snore and Mild Sleep Apnea Pillow.

SleepRight Side Sleeping Memory Foam Pillow Review

This pillow presumes that we’re all side sleepers. How do we know? Because unlike the SONA FDA-Cleared Anti-Snore and Mild Sleep Apnea Pillow, it has absolutely no mechanism for ensuring that you stay on your side: no holes to trap your arms, no inclines to discourage you from turning over.

Now how many of us sleep on our side naturally all night? How many of us lie down in one position and stay there till morning?

The only people we know who can do that, we bury them after a few days of mourning.

And those people don’t lie on their side either, so this pillow still wouldn’t be effective for them.

If they did lie on their side, this pillow wouldn’t be of much use to them anyway, because they don’t snore – at least, not anymore.

Maybe they did a few days ago, and maybe that’s the reason why they got killed in the first place, but as it is right now, what in the world would they do with an anti-snore pillow?

As much as we love them, we’re not going to throw an $80 pillow in with them just to make sure they don’t snore in the afterlife. After all, if they did snore in the afterlife, who’s going to complain? God never sleeps. And if he did, somebody or something ought to wake him. There’s too much that needs to be fixed down here.

Of course if you do sleep on your side, this pillow will be great for you: it relieves head, neck, and jaw tension; it helps with insomnia and mild sleep apnea; it helps prevent wrinkles; and it reduces snoring. The only thing it doesn’t do is get you a glass of milk and read you a story.

Then, too, perhaps you’ll feel so comfortable sleeping on your side on this pillow, your subconscious will prevent you from turning on your back from now on. Nothing’s impossible. This user attests that’s what happened to her. It could happen to you too.

Cons of the SleepRight Side Sleeping Memory Foam Pillow:

• Made of non-washable foam. (Use the cover, which is, by the way, washable. That’s what it’s for.)

• Has no restrictive devices to ensure you stay on your side. (It does make side sleeping so much more comfortable than back or tummy sleeping, though.)

• Costs nearly $80. (It still costs less and works better than some of the hundred-dollar pillows we’ve seen.)

  Pros of the SleepRight Side Sleeping Memory Foam Pillow:

• Reduces not just snoring but also insomnia, sleep apnea, and tension in the head, neck, and jaw

• Comes with a machine washable, hypoallergenic cover

• The sheepskin cover keeps the pillow cool and comfortable

• Adjusts to body temperature, so your ears don’t get too hot or cold

• Discourages stomach sleeping, which is bad for your neck

• Cradles face to prevent creases (which eventually turn to wrinkles, you know)

• The travel size makes it easy to carry with you and is perfect for people 5’4” or shorter. (Get the larger pillow if you’re taller than 5’4”.)

Recommendation and Results

Is it comfortable? Yes

So here at Anti-Snore Pillow Reviews, our only reservations with this pillow is that it costs nearly $80. However, it is durable, and it does have a five-year warranty.

It’s been recommended by its users, and it’s receiving a recommendation from us too.
