Incredible therapeutic product from compassionate experts who truly care about their patients.
For a variety of reasons (including a life-changing car accident and other medical issues), I suffer from chronic pain. I vividly recall the look on my physical therapist's face when she learned that I was also a lifelong stomach sleeper. It took me a while, but with my neck and back pain increasing, I realized this was unsustainable and decided to transition to back-sleeping. Almost immediately, I noticed a substantial decrease in lower back pain. However, my neck, shoulder, and upper-to-mid back pain has been intractable. Investing in a very high quality mattress hasn't helped in the way I thought it would, so I began to wonder whether a pillow could make a difference.
After researching pillows for a few days, I stumbled upon Noble Pillow. Instantly, I knew something was different. The amount of detail, medical expertise, and craftsmanship was unlike anything I'd encountered elsewhere. I was very encouraged by Jamie's story and appreciated how much thoughtfulness and care-for-patients had been poured into the product line. This seemed like a pillow I could trust. I started by ordering the head pillow and, while waiting for it to arrive, I read everything I could on the website and watched all the videos. I think this is an important step, as you learn not only about the pillow, but also about how your own body works. Because I work full-time, it took more than one evening to work through the various steps and adjust the pillow properly. At the moment, I've emptied half of 4 and 5; I think it's possible I will add a moderately-filled neck support to 8 once my body adjusts to the new pillow. I'm still transitioning to using it, but I've noticed that when I grab my former pillow, my head and neck feel wildly unsupported. By contrast, the Noble Pillow has already improved my neck pain, although I still have slight neck pain/stiffness and significant shoulder and upper-to-mid back pain. (Some of this likely has other causes, and I don't think you can fix decades of problems in just a few weeks. So I'm still hopeful for further improvement.) Even still, I know this pillow is helping me: for example, when I wake up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water, my neck is less sore than before, and I wake up less frequently than I used to. Also, frankly, I'm so impressed by the demonstrated expertise of Jamie and Danny that I have no doubt it is better for me (both now and in the long run) than my old pillow.
I have found the head pillow to sleep a bit warm, so I ordered the bamboo cover. I love the feel of the pillow's natural fibers, which the bamboo cover masks, and it is not yet as temperature-regulating as I would hope. However, it too is of phenomenal quality, and I think it makes a fantastic pillow protector. I'm not yet sure whether I will always keep it on the pillow, but I like having the option and will continue to experiment.
Overall, I am so grateful to Jamie Noble for her expertise, compassion, and the care she has put into designing this product line. I just received my lower body pillow and look forward to trying that out as part of the broader sleep system. For those concerned about price, it may be helpful to think about this in terms of medical bills. Assuming you have insurance, which not everyone does, the pillow is perhaps 5-6 physical therapy co-pays; if you don't have health insurance, this is the cost of just 1-2 physical therapy sessions. Given the 45-day trial period, craftsmanship, Pillow Care option, and demonstrated medical expertise that has gone into it, I think the Noble Pillow is well worth a try. The more you explore the educational materials related to it, the more you will realize that there is nothing ordinary about this pillow. It's an investment in your health and well-being.
