Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sona Pillow with free Nap Eyemask
Customer Review: Awesome when used properly
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm giving this 5 stars based solely on my fiance's claims that I no longer snore when I use this pillow properly (that is, on my side, on the side of the pillow).
The pillow takes some "practice"... it took me about 2 straight weeks of randomly-awake nights before I slept straight through. Of course, maybe that's why my fiance said I stopped snoring - I wasn't sleeping! I used to be a stomach sleeper with a fluffy pillow (this pillow is comfortable but sturdy), so this was a change.
It's also a little long. It kept sticking over my bed and knocking things off my night-stand. But again, very small price for not snoring.
So yes, it takes a couple of weeks before you're "broken in" - but that's a small price to pay for not having someone say almost every day: "I'm so tired - you snored all night!"
Note: This pillow DOES come with a pillow case. I bought an extra "sona-fitted" case when I bought this, but it already had one. Two cases isn't a bad thing at all, though.
Customer Review: Really Does Stop 99% of My Snoring
Summary: 4 Stars
My wife loves this pillow. It really has stopped over 99% of my snoring. My wife should know; she is a light sleeper.
It works.
Two caveats:
1) It does take a week or so to break it in. During this time it will be too fat and firm causing neck and ear discomfort. The sales clerk advised using it to lean against to break it in. This helped!
2) It loses it's shape after a year and a half or so and becomes less effective. I am replacing mine for that reason. Expensive, but my wife says it is money well spent!
Customer Review: Horrible Product
Summary: 1 Stars
This is one of the worst products I've ever purchased and even though there are literally thousands of unsatisfied buyers of this product Brookstone will not stand behind their product. It is extremely uncomfortable and left me with headaches that lasted for days and I only used it for about an hour. The Brookstone employees did not care to hear about the problems with their product only the fact that you can't bring it back. Never again will I buy from Brookstone if they do not care about quality,design or most importantly customer satisfaction.

Customer Review: I like it
Summary: 4 Stars
I had looked at this in the store, but probably wouldn't have bought it if my sister hadn't given it to me for Christmas. It took a while to get used to it, but I like this pillow very much. It is decidedly odd. You aren't supposed to sleep on the middle portion of the pillow at all (which is mounded so high that it is uncomfortable to do so, but rather on one of the side "wings." If you want to turn over from one side to the other, you have to roll all the way over the central hump to the other side. This seemed odd at first but now I am used to it. I do not find the position illustrated, with the lower arm under the pillow, at all comfortable, however. I stick my arm out to the side. Nevertheless, the way the bottom of the pillow cups the shoulder makes it exceedingly comfortable, the best pillow for side sleeping that I've tried. I have a memory foam contoured pillow, and I've given it up instead of this. Regular pillowcases don't fit well, however.Customer Review: Caused neck pains; no returns allowed
Summary: 1 Stars
If you sleep ONLY on your side, this pillow is fine in terms of comfort. However, if you roll to your back, it is so big and fluffed out that it presses your neck forward with your chin moving towards your chest. I woke up several times with major neck pain because of it being simple too fluffy. There's also no meaninful neck support while sleeping on your back. I had a terrible experience and to top it off, Brookstone wouldn't allow me to return it. I was very unhappy with this experience. Should've known better when they said you couldn't return it.
