The instructions say to put it in the dryer on high heat for 15 minutes before first use. I did that. Haven't washed it yet. The pillow is very comfy, but I was really hoping it would relieve my neck pain, as well. Not the pillow's fault at all--I guess it won't be that easy. The pain gradually subsides during the day, and I feel a lot of popping in my neck throughout the day, but by the time I wake up the next morning, it's back. Nothing that a few hundred milligrams of ibuprofen won't take care of, but I can't keep doing that to my kidneys. I've been trying various sleeping positions, but maybe I just need to find a chiropractor (I use doctors and modern medicine as little as possible, and only as a last resort).
I have a friend that swears by her chiropractor though I never use one. She says a good doctor will take X-rays before your first visit and if not then walk away.
I have two my pillows and the directions say to dry it with a wet towel. I find each wash helps too. Most people miss that step, so I like to ask.
Did you wash and dry it?
