Awesome pillow. I love it and used the zipper to adjust it how I liked it.

I am 19 healthy and won’t be without my neck support pillow.I take it wherever I go.

On Easter Sunday in 2017, my kids and I got rear-ended by a large utility van on a freeway in Portland. The van was going pretty fast when it hit us, totaling my little Honda Fit and leaving me with whiplash and a mild concussion. Thankfully, my kids had only minor injuries. Being optimistic and in relatively good shape, I thought I’d bounce back quickly.  What I didn’t realize at the time was the amount of discomfort I’d feel in my neck, back and shoulders for years to come.

During the day, I experienced minimal discomfort. However, sleeping was a different story. Every morning I woke up due to a crick in my neck, a middle back ache or numbness in my hands and arms—and sometimes, all three! This was thanks in large part to my neck alignment from fluffy pillows and an incorrect sleeping posture.

So, you can imagine once I heard about the Adjustable Spine Alignment Pillow (ASAP), I was very curious to try it. The pillow was developed by Clarkston, Washington, resident Larry Wilmarth after his own car accident 15 years ago which resulted in herniated discs in his lower back and neck. “If my neck was bent at all while I slept, the pain would radiate out into my shoulders, making sleep impossible,” shares the ASAP creator. “I couldn’t use a conventional pillow and ended up trying every neck-support pillow on the market, but nothing alleviated my symptoms or helped me sleep.” So, Wilmarth started experimenting with his own pillow design and the ASAP was born. His pillow worked so well he applied for a patent and began sharing it with others experiencing similar difficulties. “Thankfully, they also found relief,” he says. “My passion is to introduce ASAP to as many people as I can and for them to experience a restful night’s sleep.”

My Experience:

I ordered a queen size ASAP pillow from Wilmarth’s assistant, Jo Tildon. The price was very budget-friendly at just $35 for a queen and $39 for a king.  My pillow arrived in two days and the shipping was free. Included with the pillow was a five-page information packet and survey, which I thought was helpful. It also included a bag of “fluff” or top-quality fiber filling as they call it. The pillow itself looked like two smaller pillows sewed between a flat piece of material with a tiny pillow on top and one on the bottom (see photo). The most unique part of ASAP is that it’s adjustable to your own comfort level and has little zippers where you can adjust the amount of filling you want in each compartment.

My first night was interesting. I wasn’t quite sure how it would go, but Tildon explained that it might take a few nights to get used to, and to get the fluff adjustments right. My initial observation was that lying on this pillow felt very different than lying on a conventional pillow. My head wasn’t propped up at all—as a matter of fact, I was looking straight up at the ceiling, which was new. According to Wilmarth, this is the point—proper sleep alignment requires the head and back to be on the same plane. I noticed my neck felt supported by the tiny pillow under it, but decided a little more fluff was needed. So, I added it! It was very easy. I fell asleep quickly, and the pillow encouraged me to stay on my back the entire night, which again, Wilmarth says is key to the most ideal sleep posture and restful night’s sleep. When I woke up, I felt great but decided I needed to take out some of the fluff from the main pillow compartments because they were hugging my ears a little too closely. Once I did that, the pillow felt perfect.

I can officially declare that I am now hooked on the ASAP. I’ve found the pillow to not only help me sleep better, both on my back and side, but I no longer wake up with a crick in my neck or pain in my back. In addition, I used to need an upper cervical spinal adjustment once a month when my neck would feel ‘out.’ However, since sleeping on this pillow, I haven’t needed an adjustment at all, and it’s been three months! Sold.

Bob and I tried the pillow, Getting it to fit each individual is a key factor. We just used trial and error, and gave it at least 2 nights, before readjusting the filling. We both found that it is not an instant fit, but when you get it right, it is very comfy. As we adjusted to the “feel” we found the most comfortable fit and the result was amazing, Sleeping all night through without the tossing and turning and punching the pillow that invariably will flatten, is a real treat. Waking up without neck pain or shoulder stiffness is such a relief. My advice…..be sure to give yourself time and patience to adjust the filling and keep trying until it works for you, you will be happy you did!

I developed the pillow after a car wreck herniated a disc in my neck and lower back. It took me years to develop and patent a neck support pillow that would allow me a pain free nights sleep. Everyone who has one is very appreciative. That is why I work to get it out there. I think it will make you mentally and physically healthier.

Since using the lumbar pillow for my lower back, my comfort has been greatly improved. I use the pillow when watching tv, reading, or while driving or riding in my car. The difference in my level of comfort is remarkable. It has made a big difference in my daily lifestyle. I recommend trying this product if you suffer from back pain.

I am 28 years old and have no medical injuries. The pillows are a good “preventative maintenance” choice even for those without current back, neck, or other bodily pains. I recently drove from Arizona to Alaska and used the Adjustable Lumbar Pillow behind my lower back against the seat. I noticed an immediate difference in my posture. I was more comfortable driving and was more alert as a result. I would recommend giving the Adjustable Lumbar Pillow a try if you are a commuter.

I have also experimented with the Adjustable Spine Alignment Pillow and have found that using it with minimal stuffing allows me to sleep undisturbed throughout the night.

I would recommend either or both of these pillows to anyone interested in a healthier posture, regardless if pain applies to you or not.

I have had medical issues and injuries to both of my shoulders and have had serious problems both with sleeping and with waking up in the morning with my shoulders aching from sleeping on my side. I was really reluctant to use this pillow since I am a side sleeper and have been since I can remember and did not think the pillow would work for me. How wrong I was!!! I pulled a new Adjustable Spine Alignment Pillow out of its plastic wrapper, did some minimal “fluffing” and layed down. Instantly I could feel the support to my neck and the stability of my upper spine. Before I knew it I was waking up the next morning without my normal shoulder pain and I felt more rested and ready for the day than I normally do. I highly recommend this pillow to anyone who suffers from neck and shoulder pain, upper back pain and anyone looking for a good nights sleep.

I have been using Larry’s Adjustable Spine Alignment Pillow for about 6 months now, and it’s fantastic! This unique pillow is a practical, and comfortable way to get a good night’s sleep while keeping your spine aligned. Sleeping on your back has been shown to be the healthiest way to rest. Also, I have an eye condition, and if I sleep on my side it puts pressure on that side of my face and eye, which causes me trouble. So I try not to sleep on my side and this pillow helps me do that. And I really love how one side of the pillow can fold onto the other side for times when I want to read in bed, propping me up. It’s handy! I can recommend this pillow not only for those with back issues, but for anyone who sees the value in sleeping on your back for whatever reason.

I have been using the Adjustable Spine Alignment Pillow for about 6 months now. I love it! I used to have restless night sleep always tossing and turning. Waking up with a crick in my neck. I have been sleeping better than ever since I started using the pillow. I did need to adjust how much padding to put under my neck. It took a few tries to get it just right. But that is the beauty of this pillow is that it is adjustable. When one of the neck pockets gets padded down I just add a little more filling. I have only have had to do it once so far and its really easy. I would highly recommend this pillow.
