I am a disabled veteran with neck injuries from combat that required disc replacement surgery. I need a pillow with the shape of a memory foam pillow, but also finely adjustable support under the cervical curve.
I have been using PART of the Air-Core adjustable pillow for many years now. Specifically, the adjustable air bladder. The fiber-fill part of this pillow, or the Tri-Core pillows, flattens out so that they don't provide the proper neck curve support. However, the bladder helps with that—if only the surrounding fiber fill wouldn't flatten out.
The solution I came up with is to remove the Air-Core's adjustable air bladder, cut a slit into the side of one lobe of a Memory Plus Cervical Pillow, then slide the air bladder inside. That provides the durable material and proper shape, plus the ability to fine-tune the cervical curve support. I've been doing this since the air bladders in the Air-Core Pillow was made out of black rubber like a piece of sealed-off inner-tube.
Recently, I bought an Air-Core Pillow and put the air bladder into a Double Core Select Foam Cervical Pillow, so I don't need to slice a pocket into the pillow. It seems to work pretty well so far.
However, it would be VASTLY better there was a memory foam pillow with adjustable bladders already installed into both lobes, so people could have a properly shaped, durable material pillow that can be finely adjusted to each person's needs.
Make a pillow like this and I will buy it for the rest of my life.
