The best pillow on the market to relieve neck pain is the arc4life traction pillow. This pillow does two things - it stretches your neck and and it support your cervical spine curve. This guy does a good job of walking you through what the pillow feels like:
This is a great pillow for sleeping on your side and on your back. It is a specialty pillow, so it is not for everyone. There is also an adjustment period for some people who use it.
This pillow has been on the market since 2003 - and it has definitely helped a lot of people:
"I had 3 weeks of neck pain from traveling and using my computer with horrible posture while doing so. I went to a massage therapist and the guy said, "you did some serious damage to your neck." It hurt so much that when I awoke in bed, even without moving, I was in pain.
My fiance gave me her pillow and told me to try it because it "helps bring the spine into alignment." She knows a lot about this stuff, so I trusted her. After 1 night, 70% of the pain was gone. It was insane. I looked at the label and turns out it was the arc4life pillow (she bought it 2014).
I immediately ordered this pillow and have been using it since. It took about a night to break-in, but after that it's been amazing. I told my mom about this pillow as she was in a car accident and sleeps with just a towel roll. I spoke to an arc4life rep on the phone and she told me they had other customers with similar issues.
My mom said the pillow was much more comfortable than the towel and that she had a good night's sleep and liked the pillow as well. She said this is the first time she's been able to use a pillow in years." - RP Singh

"I was in such pain my neck my shoulder an arm an lower right back. I could hardly walk an the pain made me so sick i could not move, sit or anything. The first night i used it I thought this is weird humm not sure , anyway well i will just use it for an hour or so but, i fell asleep on it an woke up pain free. All my pain was nearly gone. just a bit of neck an shoulder pain. The other thing i had was a numb thigh on the left leg , never expecting that to dissapear I was shocked. I could finally feel my leg before an now I have feeling back, I had that for nearly 12 years. A burning numb pain that would come an go. Well needless to say it was gone. I slept better too. I used to be all over the place when I slept an now I sleep in one spot all through the night. I got rid of the tem-perpeic pillow I spent a small fortune on an it did nothing. I love this pillow. Maybe it doesn't work for everyone , but I have to say I don't want to go anywhere without this pillow. It works an I could not be happier. My daughter bought one an it helped her an she told me about it. I bought it right away hoping it would help an it did more then I expected it would. I love it ! Hope when I need a new one they are still selling them. Or maybe I should just stock up now. Buy two you won't be sorry!" - AC
"I have had severe, unbearable and usually once a week debilitating cervical neck pain for 4 months now precipitating migraines. Just referred to PT and got muscle relaxers (yet to take- probably won’t have to now). Have read all the books. Nothing was working. Tylenol and Advil didn’t touch the pain. Usually I just had to do nothing for the whole weekend, put heatpak a on my neck every day, and hope for the best. I bought those stick on heat packs in bulk.
This worked, overnight. I barely believe it. I thought I’d need surgery. I’ve been sleeping on it a week now and I am not sure about LT performance but this is the first pain free week I have had in months. I wake up with full range of motion (even if I lose it throughout the day). It’s amazing. It’s bizarre, like how could a pillow fix such a serious issue? I felt stupid paying so much for a pillow. But now I’d definitely buy it again.
I was on a tempedic pillow before, so medium feels soft to me but works.
I mean, give it a try. It has basically changed my life it is crazy."- Pat
