Where have you been all my life?
A bit of background here, as I think it’s relevant. Analytical review after:I have a minor medical condition which means if I run short of sleep for a bit, I risk having multiple days of down time to recover. I have the same responsibilities as most, keeping a career on track, keeping relationships healthy, and keeping myself in a good mindset as I navigate the seas of life.I’m a middle aged 6′ 0″ male, with wider shoulders than average. (No, I’m not saying this because I think I’m anything special. I just have naturally wide shoulders.) I’m a side sleeper, and have always battled keeping my neck aligned to avoid snoring, or awakening due to needing to reposition. I’ve been through all the sleep studies. Apnea, if present at all, is quite minor. In recent years, as I’ve learn more, I’ve gravitated to firmer, thicker pillows. Those with conventional designs helped, but didn’t fully correct the sleep issues.Recently, I ordered an inexpensive contoured pillow, to test this sort of configuration. I was shocked how much this improved my sleep. My wife noted I snore less often, and am more difficult to rouse from a deep sleep. Good signs. The cheap pillow was beginning to soften a bit too much, and also was not quite tall enough. I used it with a very thin pillow underneath.Armed with all this information, I began to research premium pillows, looking for more height, and customer feedback indicating good durability. I tend to watch my budget, but I recognize the importance of good sleep, so I wasn’t averse to investing a few hundred dollars if I felt it would improve my rest. I found Temper-Pedic was once considered the gold standard, but it appeared something has changed in their production process, with users noting newer pillows didn’t match up to their older versions.In digging around, I found this Royal Therapy pillow. Because the max height was considerably more than the pillow I was replacing, I was concerned it may be TOO tall, so the ability to remove layers if needed was a good feature for me. I needn’t have worried. This pillow feels like it was made specifically for me, though obviously it was not.I no longer need an extra pillow beneath. I do not snore when using this pillow. I do not toss and turn. If I had to nit pick, the memory foam can be just a tad warm at times, but nothing which seems to impair my sleep. After a week to allow the pillow to break in, it provides the exact same experience as it did the day it arrived. It supports the void between my shoulder and head, keeping my neck and spine aligned, while my head is comfortable. Nothing but sleep, blissful sleep, to allow my body to recover as needed from the daily trials and tribulations we all experience.If I could give this six stars I would, and unless something changes with my physiology or the manufacturing of this pillow, I know where I’ll be procuring the replacement, when this one wears out. Great stuff, and a very happy camper here.

Too soft for side sleepers
I was looking for a semi-firm pillow as a side sleeper and this was not it. It’s a nice pillow but very soft and compresses too much. The quality was good and I noticed no smell but needed to return.

This pillow works well for me
So far, so good. I bought this pillow because I had stiffness on the right side of my neck. I did typically sleep with my head turned to the right when sleeping on my back. AI told me to sleep with my face pointing up when I’m on my back. It also suggest this Royal Therapy Memory Foam pillow. The front and back of this pillow are different heights. For my size (typical adult male), AI suggested that I sleep with my neck on the higher side (higher side to the front). But I never really got comfortable with the higher side. The lower side fits me perfectly. AI said that the memory foam was firm (which is what I want). When I first squished it in my hands, it felt softer than expected. But when I laid down on it, it did have the firmness that I wanted. I sleep great on this pillow regardless if I’m on my side or my back. This pillow replaced a name-brand pillow that had loose filling. I was always flipping that pillow over and around to find the highest filling. I don’t have to do that with this Royal Therapy memory foam pillow. I ordered the queen size and it fits my queen size pillow cases fine. I like the looks of this pillow – it looks royal! I haven’t gotten a stiff neck since I’ve been using this pillow.

Great quality
Very comfortable and good quality! My husband has one and I just got mine because they’re so good to help you sleep

Excelente

One of the best memory foam pillows I ever tried.
