Pros
Verdict
The pillow is highly effective for managing chronic neck and shoulder pain while improving sleep depth and breathing conditions like snoring and apnea. It is particularly well-regarded by side and back sleepers and those using CPAP machines. While the unique shape requires a short adjustment period, the primary benefits are consistent physical comfort and waking up feeling refreshed.
After having numb hands and migraines nearly every morning for quite some time, I saw an ad for Derila Ergo pillows and decided I'd give it a try. Order came sooner than expected, I immediately switched out my regular pillows with Derila Ergo. Low and behold I woke up the next morning well rested without a migraine or numb hands! I convinced two… Read more · 1
friends to try the pillow as well. They love it as much as I do! I highly recommend this to anyone with numb hands or neck issues! Thank you so much!!
Derila pillow absolutely great. Most comfortable pillow I have ever had. The contouring cradles my head and neck. I do not wake up with a sore neck and do not toss and turn trying to find a soothing pillow position. Show reply
This pillow is FANTASTIC and worth the money. The website and ordering pillowcases was a little difficult to understand, customer support was a little difficult to contact, but when I was able to contact customer support, they made it all right and explained the confusion. I am a physician and have a painful lifelong rotator cuff injury. It… Read more · 1
acted up about a year ago. My pain was easily a 6 to 9 level. The usual to injections physical therapy broth it down to a 4-6 level but did not resolve it as they did in the past. Failing the usual, I tried acupuncture, which abated the pain to where I could get massage therapy,. Massage was painful but broke up the scar tissue and that brought the pain to a 1 to 3 level - not bad enough for me to decide on surgery yet, but bad enough to awaken me several nights a week and still entertain surgery as a final option. My MRI showed partial but not complete tears. However there were a lot and they were almost full tears. Once you get surgery, if it works, alll is good. If it does not work, you have to live with what you get after it; hence my hesitation.
I saw the Derila Pillow Internet add, its odd shape, the theory behind it, and decided to try it. After about a month of use, I am pretty much pain free and can sleep on my injured shoulder without any pain most of the time. The pain level is mostly 0, rarely approaches 1 and when it does, quickly goes back to 0. So now I get a GREAT nights sleep. The pillow is small and easy to travel with.
I have started recommending it to my patients with spine and shoulder problems. Derila's pillow covers offer a custom fit and protection. The covered pillow still fits easily into and still works well with a regular pillow case.

I have been suffering for years with pain in my neck and shoulders. My physio recommended that I look at the pillow I use and recommend Derila pillows. I was a bit dubious about this as I have tried so many different types over the past few years but never feeling any benefit. My order arrived I unpacked the pillow and used it that same night.… Read more · 1
Honestly it took me two weeks to adjust and feel better. After the two weeks I can honestly say Derila pillows are the best. No more waking up during the night, no more feeling tired in the morning. I have and still having the best nights sleep that I missed out over the past few years. My wife tried my pillow while I was away on business and really loved it. I have now bought a 4 pack deal so we both have our own jumbo pillows and two spare ones to take with us when we leave home. These pillows really do improve your health believe me.
Bought two for myself and partner. We now take them everywhere as we get a more restful sleep staying in one position and no neck pain. It doesn’t seem to reduce the snoring very much for us, but we are very happy with it. Show reply
After the first couple of days to get used to the pillow, now I can’t imagine going to sleep without it. Once you get used to it, it feels so much better than a regular pillow. Show reply
I have been seeking a new pillow. I now have that new pillow. Surprised as I was at the shape of the pillow, I now appreciate the benefits flowing forward with the support for my neck and shoulders and the comfort of air passage as I enjoy better sleep on my side. Show reply
So comfy work's well with my CPAP.All round good investment . Wonderful cooling effect, dual pillowcases are a great idea and a fabulous price. Show reply
Good and comfortable pillows. The best I have come accross so far. Show reply
The pillow is perfect for me and my dogs. One of them is always up on my pillow or curled into the grooves. I haven't woken up with a headache or sore neck since I received my pillow. Oh yes, the wife likes hers too. Show reply
Since receiving the pillow, my stiffness in the neck has been greatly reduced to the point where I haven’t noticed. It stays cool at night-which is very important to me- and is actually helping immensely with my sleep apnea. I just ordered and received yesterday another pillow for my wife, because she keeps taking mine! Show reply
I’ve had my Derila pillow for about 2 months now and admit that I have had better restful sleep than in the past. It had taken me 3-5 days to figure out how best to position it when I sleep but have found it to be great while sleeping on my back or side. I also bought the fitted pillow for it and it was a great decision. Based on this experience, do give it a try! Show reply

I have had neck problems for 46 years. I have tried several pillows, but none helped. I’ve had the Derila pillow about 3 weeks and has helped me more than any of the others. I don’t like zip on cover. It’s very difficult to put on and doesn’t accommodate the nubs of the pillow very well. Show reply

one. So you order that. Then a clip comes up and shows you another pillow case like a cooling one. So I went yes to that. But they will not let you go to your order form to change what you chose. So I had to buy both pillow cases. Then I was emailed order. Next day they changed what was on my order. There phone number says it is disconnected. So I emailed them. They said no this is correct and sent me the correct one. Then after that they sent the incorrect one. It took around 6 weeks or so to arrive. When I opened package the pillow was moist and smelt terrible. They sent me a questionair and I commented about most of this and how they did not send me the correct order as well. Yes the pillows and cases looked excellent. They do help you sleep but I only had one problem. That was I got tingling in my hand because of squashed shoulder I presume. So I ended up putting an ordinary pillow under it to raise its height and it worked. I had spent around $425 dollars on that order because I had bought 4 x each item. Also I thought they came from America but it ended up from China.
Follow-up · No tingling has occurred since since I placed a thin pillow beneath it to raise the height. The smell I think came from moisture collected from foam being rolled up in plastic for a long time during transport. Yes the pillow and cases are very well made. Good sewing. I washed them and they are good. I still will not buy from them because of there… Read more

I am a side sleeper, prone to neck problems and have tried different pillows with mixed results. Some of them are too low or high, or create an earlock effect so I need to put a hand under my head to prevent that. I saw this one online and thought it was a good idea to have a concave pillow to lay a convex shaped head. Together with the firmness… Read more · 1
of the pillow, the depression in the middle removes the earlock. With different heights on two opposite surfaces, it is easier to find the most suitable height to relieve my neck. I have found it the most comfortable pillow that I have used.
I was less satisfied with the ordering process. I accepted an offered ‘upgrade’ on the pillow case, not realising this meant the pillowcase first selected plus another more expensive one. This is misleading and should not occur. I had also inadvertently clicked on one pillowcase twice. Normally, online websites take you to a confirmation page where you can see how your order is recorded and correct it, but this site went straight to payment without showing me the order. I have twice notified the supplier that I got 3 pillowcases when I meant to order one, and received no response.
When I purchased my pillows I was sceptical about all the benefits. I have severe sleep apnea and even with my cpap device I get about six hours sleep. So I figured I"ll give it a go. On my first night I woke up feeling refreshed and not tired. I checked my cpap device to see how many apneas I had my previous night I had 5. My range is usually 4… Read more · 1
to 6 . I looked at my score and it was 1 couldn't believe it. Since than it hasn't gone over 3. 1-5 is normal . Without my cpap it was 40 apneas an hour, I had stopped breathing approx 20 minutes an hour. Since using my Derila pillow I feel way better and so does my neck. I gave one to my wife and she loves it as much as I do. I' been telling my friends and family to give it a go. I bought a few extra covers to keep it nice and clean. Ive tried latex pillows, memory foam and feather pillows and this is by far the best pillow I have tried. I will be purchasing more in the future as I want to always have this experience of actually waking up refreshed. So give it a go you wont be dissapointed.
After months of persistent headaches, neck pain and trying multiple levels of pillows, I ordered Derila ergo out of sheer desperation. The morning after my very first night on my new Derila pillow, I woke after the best night's sleep I'd had in… Read more · 1
years. I was thrilled to wake to no headache, no neck pain and a surprising bonus. Twenty-six years ago I was rear-ended twice in one year, sustaining severe whiplash injuries and chronic back pain that no amount of physio, chiropractic or massage therapy could ever dissipate. That was my surprising bonus benefit of my Derila pillow. It's been about two months since the pillow arrived and my low back pain which disappeared after that first night has never returned. I am beyond thrilled with the results. I am sleeping deeply every night and waking every morning without pain or discomfort, just energized and rejuvenated from a great night's rest. I have shared my experience with my family and friends, letting them know how my Derila pillow has improved my sleep and my life.
Follow-up · To address the questions I've received: I ordered two pillows which arrived ahead of the promised delivery date. I took them from the packaging and removed the pillow cases which I tossed in the washer.

this pillow is slowly helping my sore neck. was skeptical at first but took the leap. It has been 1 month and there is improvement in my neck pain. Even if I still need other treatment, this pillow is a keeper. Show reply
We tried the pillow and it did not work for my husband. It was his birthday gift and he did not think it was a good idea for him. We had to return our order. The company was very willing to help us. Thank You! Show reply

My Wonderful Experience with Derila Pillows and Covers I have been living with a cervical disc problem for years and have always used a specially shaped neck pillow, even taking it with me whenever I travelled overseas. So, I was quite sceptical when I first came across an advertisement for Derila pillows. I decided to give them a try for my… Read more · 1
husband, who snores very loudly. To my surprise, on the very first night, I noticed that his snoring had reduced remarkably. My husband also told me that he felt comfortable and had a good night’s sleep. I decided to observe the results for a few more nights, and I continued to be impressed.
I was so pleased with the results that I decided to replace my grown-up sons’ pillows as well. I also recommended Derila to some close friends, and we ordered pillows together, including one for myself. They also told me that they felt comfortable sleeping with their new pillows.
I particularly enjoy the Cooling Covers because they feel cool and refreshing, making bedtime more comfortable. The Anti-Dust Covers also give me a lovely fresh and clean feeling, which makes me feel even better when I settle down for the night.
My experience with Derila has been so positive that I am planning to give Derila pillows as Christmas gifts to some of my close friends this year. I think they would make a thoughtful and practical gift, especially because I can share a product that my family and I have genuinely enjoyed.
I am so glad I came across Derila. What started as a trial purchase for my husband has turned into something I have recommended to my family and friends. I am delighted with our experience and look forward to sharing the comfort of Derila with even more people.

Offered free gifts for leaving a review. Which I did and Derila answered and thanked me. The email even came from this review platform. I’ve been totally ignored even after sending many emails. Very disappointing.Where are my free gifts ????

I wish I saw this sight before I ordered the pillow. Not only did they try and charge me for 2 pillows, I still have not received my pillow and say they cannot give a refund. They give out a tracking number which does not even tell you where the product is - just says late. I am now going to Ombudsman and my credit provider to get my money back. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS SCAM COMPANY

The Derila Ergo pillow is absolutely fantastic -- it does everything the ads say, providing perfect alignment of my neck and spine. Definitely 5 star! HOWEVER... the Derila pillowcase is an abject failure, so don't buy it! It's too small and doesn't fit the pillow. It cost almost as much for postage to return it as I received in my refund. A standard size pillow case works just fine for the Derila pillow. Show reply
Derila rates excellent in my opinion for both their customer service & their product! I made a mistake on my order & wanted to cancel it. Derila immediately emailed me with an option that I was very happy with. Then when my product came I was even more pleased because I truly love my ergonomic pillow & am so glad that I bought it!

These are fantastic pillows and my wife absolutely loves her pillow. Reduced snoring is a definite benefit too! The cool cover really keeps the pillow cool for sleeping in the summer months and can’t wait to try the warmer covers for the winter! Show reply
This is my second Derila pillow, I let my wife borrow the first and she liked it so much she asked to keep it. It fits my head comfortably, sleeps cool and comfortably and the larger size is just what I like. I would recommend this pillow to anyone...you won't be disappointed Show reply
