Anyone got an orthopedic pillow (i.e. with a neck support)?

I'm sleeping so badly at the moment, mainly because I am 17 weeks pg, but also because I have a problem with my neck, something to do with the C2 and C3 vertebrae. I went to the physio yesterday, and she recommended just rolling up a tea towel or something and putting in the bottom of my pillow. I tried last night but it still wasn't supportive enough and my neck still hurts.

Does anyone have a pillow with a neck support and is it any good?

Yes I have one with the neck support and it took quite a while to get used to but I love it now.

I was having a lot of back and neck problems, so I got a tempur matress and support pillow - and now have a much better nights sleep and haven't been to the osteopath nearly as much!

Awayfromhome, do you just think it takes getting used getting used to?

Yep - the first few nights I kept wanting to chuck it away in favour of my regular pillow.. and now when I go away I actually miss it - sad I know!

Yeap ordered a new mattress and the girl said they were doing buy 1 (pack of 2) get one pack free, so £20 for 4,I thought why not,

hate them and I am soo fussy about my pillows,

although tempur ones might be different as the whole pillow is that shape,
ours have like a block of shaped foam inside a fluffy pillow
I hate it and think I was ripped off

A friend of mine got one of those contour pillows. She found it really good for her neck pain. They take a bit of getting used to but she said she loves hers.
