Ear Hole Pillows (Side Sleeper)

If you have Winkler's disease (CNH) and are here searching for a pillow, this pillow was the solution for me! I have a collection of pillows (sadly) of different firmness, size, and even one I purchased previously with a hole in the middle here on Amazon. Didn't like the one I previously purchased with big hole because i had to keep adjusting the stuffing around it to get it to the right height/density and the hole was so large that my head was falling through. So I gave this new pillow a shot based on the reviews and design and glad that I did! I am a side sleeper who tosses and turns throughout the night and within 3 weeks of using this pillow my pain and embarrassingly large bump on my ear is gone! At first, I found the pillow a bit uncomfortable but that was because the shipped size of it was too high. You can open the pillow case and remove a layer of foam and once I did I slept great! The design is great because having two holes can accommodate either or both ears, and the foam is a good enough density where it's not too firm or too soft for me. Also, as opposed to the one-hole pillow I previously bought where I had to extend my neck at night to get my head/ear to fit, the holes on this pillow are positioned more towards the edge (not center of the pillow) so that I don't have to adjust/extend my head/neck as I sleep to find the hole. Interestingly, the pillowcase that comes with the pillow is not your typical smooth pillow case sheet. I was initially not happy because I tend to be a hot sleeper and prefer cool/smooth sheets. However, I have not had any issues with this pillowcase causing me to be too hot or sweat at night -- it's much more comfortable than I anticipated. So for me, aside from removing the layer of foam, the pillow has been perfect and has improved the bump and pain associated with CNH on my ear and improved my sleep at night! As other reviews have indicated, the pillow may be modified by cutting out some of the foam or using an oversized pillow case to fit in the holes (or if having matching color pillowcases is your thing) if that's your preference, but for me that was unnecessary. If you are a CNH/Winkler's disease sufferer, this pillow may be worth the investment. It was for me!

I’ve been struggling to heal some new ear piercings (including a fussy helix). This pillow is so much comfier than sleeping on an airplane neck pillow. It’s soft enough so my face isn’t smushed and firm enough to support my head and inline with my spine so my neck isn’t in pain every morning. I like the satin material too. It’s cooling and gentle on my skin and hair.

The pillow is comfortable and helps ne a lot with my new piercings.

I have a bad habit of sleeping on my side when my cartilage piercings aren’t fully healed. This pillow is one of the few options for “piercing pillows” that is actually a full size pillow and not a travel size. It’s a nice soft memory foam, probably softer than some others out there. So if you prefer a lot of support or a pretty dense memory foam this might not be for you. This is also one of the few piercing pillows that actually has two holes that are positioned off center, which is super helpful if you tend to rotate sleeping on both sides (and your back). It does come with two foam blocks you can use to insert into the holes if you want a full pillow.

I am returning this pillow for another brand (sorry!) This could be a great pillow but I feel it needs some design tweaks. Hopefully this review helps others with similar concerns: 1 - the memory foam is too firm for me. You think your head is heavy until you're laying it on memory foam. The foam wins out on firmness. I haven't met a memory foam pillow yet where my head actually sinks in and conforms to the shape of my head 2 - The ear holes are sharp rectangular shape and our ears are oblong but not rectangular. The hole is spacious but I don't feel it is the right shape for our ears, it doesn't feel natural 3 - The stitching for the ear holes lie right on the spots where your face will rest, specifically in corners where your temple will apply pressure. This is not comfortable if you are suffering from an ear infection (which is actually what prompted me in my search for an ear hole pillow). If you have no sinus, ear or tooth issues, this might be a perfect pillow but the weight of your face absorbs the pressure that's being alleviated off the ear. So it actually created additional pain for me while giving me ear "pressure" relief. 4 - The placement of the ear holes. They are too far left and right on the pillow so there's only a teeny bit of space facing out when you're head it on it, so it almost feels like you're leaning off the pillow a little bit. This is a probably just a personal preference issue but it was one other thing that made the pillow uncomfortable for me I appreciate the concept of this pillow and it has great reviews which means lots of people are happy with it but it's just not the pillow for me. I have to get one with removeable stuffing as opposed to memory foam to be able to make it a more sink-in pillow.

OMG!! This pillow could not be more perfect. Instant relief from ear cartilage pain. The spacing of the holes seems to be custom made for my head. Roll over, not one adjustment needed. The cervical support is equally spot on. I could not recommend this pillow more. Worth every penny.

UPDATE: while this pillow didn’t work for me personally, the company was very good and willing to help the situation. Thanks so much! So I loved the idea of this pillow! 2 months ago I got a snug piercing in my ear and for a month I didn’t sleep on my left side. But then I started sleeping on my left and tried things like the little inflatable rings to sleep on, neck rolls and lastly a super soft pillow. The soft pillow worked the best for me but then I saw in an article someone talked about a pillow with cut outs for your ears so here I came to Amazon! This pillow had loads of good reviews, but really was a bit expensive. I thought I’d give it a try because it it worked for me, then I’d get more comfortable sleep. Pros: Here’s what I did like. The ear holes and the adjustable height option of the pillow. The cover is also a soft material. Cons: Here’s what didn’t work for me. The ear holes are lower on one end than the other, but even on the shortest end, my ear was much lower than the hole so I would eventually end up with the end of the hole pushing on my snug and that pain would wake me up. I did wake up even to adjust the height because it was too tall, bending my neck uncomfortably, but the adjustment was minimal and so it still left my neck creaked. The worst part, and this hasn’t happened to me yet with anything, is my ear at my snug piercing was completely swollen this morning. I believe this was from the constant trouble of keeping my ear in the hole because there was too much pillow from my neck to the ear hole. So a swing and a miss for me.

It's barely been 3 days and I can already tell this is the best pillow I've ever purchased. I'm going to sound like a nut in this review and I'm not usually an excitable person, but I'm just so happy this worked out, especially given how affordable this product was. I have lots of piercings in my ears but even if those weren't there, I've always hated the pressure I get on my cartilage from side sleeping. This pillow is sooo comfortable in many different ways. It's not just after hours of side sleeping when I'm thankful for this pillow either. From the first moment I rest my head, it feels wonderful to not be lying on my ears. Love that I can also use my ear buds no problem. Comfort level is perfect for me. This pillow is firm so if you like your pillows floppy and practically nonexistent, this might not be for you. I'm 5'3.5", smallish frame, and the height with the insert is perfect for me, but I do have a mattress topper that makes everything sink, so that may be helping. However, I know I could always remove the 1" insert and it'd still be perfect. I love the way it aligns my spine and my neck is supported, straight up against the edge of the pillow. I read one review before purchasing about how their head slips off the edge when they have their ears aligned with the hole because of lack of support and then was worried the distance between the edge wouldn't be enough, but my worries were so unfounded. I have plenty distance between the edge, what I would have naturally on any other pillow, and this one is not lacking in support by any means. If you're taller and worried about how it can fit a 5'3" woman and not you, I wouldn't worry too much. Flip the pillow upside down, and there is a different distance between the ear holes and bottom edge, I believe they did this for people with a longer neck or broader shoulders. At the very least, give it a try! I'm so glad I did, despite my concerns. Finally, looking at pictures, I was wondering why it was necessary for two holes on each side rather than one in the middle, even considered buying their mini pillow instead for that reason- I'm so happy I went with this one cause I quickly figured out why! Half-asleep, I flipped sides the other night and without even thinking about it or trying, my ear perfectly fell into the other hole as I turned over. It was such a cool find, I woke up completely to laugh about how awesome that was. Simple, but it's the little things in life. You truly thought of pretty much everything, Blissbury! Thank you! My only critique, which I've seen a couple others have, is why not sell extra pillow cases in different colors? I'd love to purchase a grey one so the white doesn't stand out so much on my non-white bedset. I know I could just put on a different loose cover and make sure the holes still function, however I do love the material the original is made out of and also would like to purchase from you guys again. However, that is a tiny, tiny problem to have when I'm now sleeping so much more comfortably and thoroughly. So thanks again for designing this and making it affordable!

Wish I knew about this pillow years ago,I am a side sleeper,but the wooshing and heartbeat noise in my ears always woke me up,I thought give this ago,what have I got to lose,less sleep but am used to it,tried this the first night,worked a treat,was very surprised,took awhile to get used to sleeping on memory foam,but has been lush not hearing those noise's any more..

Esta es la almohada más cómoda que he usado jamás. Desde el año pasado empecé a hacerme perforaciones en la oreja derecha y llevaba meses o durmiendo de un sólo lado o usando un cojín de cuello para viaje cuando quería dormir de ese lado. Era bastante incómodo sinceramente. Los cojines de viaje son muy planos y no dan soporte en el cuello, pero si lo pongo sobre mi almohada normal queda demasiado alto. Bueno, hace unas dos semanas me perforé la otra oreja y pensé que iba a dormir mal por lo menos un par de meses pero aguanté así que decidí buscar una almohada con agujeros para las orejas. Me decidí por esta porque tiene dos huecos y definitivamente fue la mejor decisión. El soporte de esta almohada es perfecto, es increíblemente cómoda y ya no sufro del cuello ni de las orejas ni de nada. Me encanta! Mis piercings están sanando perfecto y duermo increíble. De hecho, duermo mejor que antes de mis perforaciones. Duermo mejor que lo que dormía con mi antigua almohada, no es demasiado suave ni demasiado rígida. Ahora me entusiasma irme a dormir en las noches.

Das Kissen ist gut verarbeitet. Man muss sich nur erst einmal daran gewöhnen.

両耳にヘリックスが開いているので通常の枕では痛くて寝れないので思い切って購入！ 若干、首から耳の位置が遠い。私の首が短いのか耳穴がもっと大きければ最高なのですが…。 値段が高いのでこの出来栄えでは違う商品を探した方がいいと思います。
