Piercing Pillow Ear Pillows for Side Sleepers with Hole CNH Donut Protector Pillow Ear Pressure Sores Pain Aches Relief Medical Ear Guard Care Cushion

This pillow takes all the pressure off of my ears at night. I was wearing wrestling head gear to bed to avoid damage to my new ear piercings. That didn’t work and the headgear was not conducive to getting a good nights sleep. I use this pillow and it is firm enough to keep all the pressure off my ears. I love the strap that keeps the pillow in place. I bought two so that when the first one wears out, I already have another one. I would highly recommend anyone with ear pain or new ear piercings to buy this pillow. I read some reviews that complained that this pillow was too firm and uncomfortable. The pillow MUST be firm to avoid it from flattening so that the ear stays off of the pillow that it is strapped down to. I find this pillow comfortable and it will keep pressure off of your ears.

I’m new to wearing a CGM to monitor my blood glucose and sometimes accidentally lean on the monitor and create a false low glucose reading. This pillow has helped solve this problem for me. If I’m awake and laying on my side I’m able to center the donut hole over the CGM and lean on the pillow to prevent the pressure readings, and when I’m asleep I slide my entire arm through the pillow’s donut hole which creates enough arm elevation to prevent the low pressure readings. It’s not a pretty solution, but it beats getting the false low glucose readings. I really like the pillow. Nice firm support (but not too firm) with a good thickness, and the material is very soft.

So this basically pillow with a hole in it. I have been looking for something to allow me to side-sleep after recovering from Tympanoplasty surgery. It was firm enough to support the ear but wasn't the most comfortable pillow and it felt overly warm (though considering my condition, that can't be blamed entirely on the pillow). My biggest problem would be the strap. Unless your head is the size of a beach ball, there is no way that it will stay securely tight. The strap is too long and the velcro is located on the ends, limiting adjustments to a large diameter. You can strap it around the pillow but that does not live up the promise of multiple applications it advertises. It`s a basic pillow that exaggerates it's features.

I saw a review from a CGM user (continuous glucose monitor) who used it to prevent pressure on device while sleeping. It works! No false low readings so far!

There is no cover to this pillow

The stuffing is absolutely terrible. It's not memory foam like another customer mentioned. Very hard, too thick & quite hard bumps. I took all the stuffing out & replaced with memory foam I already had. The original stuffing was spun into balls to fit through the small zippered opening. I'm glad I decided to keep the cover because with less thickness & wonderful memory foam pieces, it's just what I needed for my ear to heal.

Not as soft as I hoped, but not rock hard eiter. Let's call it super-firm. Prevents pressure pain on ears while side-sleeping very well. But because it's so firm it takes a bit of maneuvering to get it to a comfortable place. Not perfect, but does the job.Added: after a month, I'm going to look for something else...its just too firm, uncomfortably so too often. My ear is fine but my jaw and cheekbones hurt if I don't get it placed just perfectly.

Buy it I love it no more ear pain
