Anyone know the difference between a D-core and Tri-core pillow?

I have always used the Tri-core pillow, standard size, and have always been happy with it. I lay on my back and side and it works beautifully, no neck issues. Hope this helps

The only difference I can see is that the D-core has a specific D-shape in the center of the pillow, while the Tri-core has more of a triangular shape. The d-core is also cheaper. Aside from that, they both have similar functions.

I asked this exact question of a Core Products customer service person and was told that they are essentially the same pillow except that the D-core uses a lower thread count cover and uses a slightly less expensive (and less durable) filling. They make the D-core in order to offer a selection for people who want a lower cost.

I don't know the difference but have been using the tri-core for over a year and it has really helped in reducing shoulder pain while sleeping.

The idea behind the Tri Core is Three: a low neck support or a high neck support for laying on one's back, and the third, the firmer ends, which support the head when you lay on your side. I only use the low and sides. The high is a bit much for me. But, that's personal, of course.

I prefer a firm pillow for my head and a second one for my chest/stomach. (I am a side sleeper also)

They aren't the same sort of pillow. This pillow is a solid piece of memory foam, and the MyPillow is chunks of memory foam inside a case. The MyPillow also comes in five different levels of "fill" so that can change how firm it is wildly as well as how tall it will be (yellow, white, green, blue, red - in order of soft to firm). The benefit of the MyPillow is that you can shape it like you could a down pillow (since the fill is just chunks), and it will mostly hold that shape once you put your head down on it. However, if you toss and turn alot during the night, you will eventually nestle a divet into the MyPillow over the course of the night and may have to refluff it to regain the height and support you started with when you laid down.

I have both pillows. I use the gray one most. It is easy to carry with me, particularly on a plane, and it really does need only a breath or two of air. I like the blue one when I need a bit more support.

yes, this one is smaller which is what I wanted, the standard sized memory foam pillows are too large and firm for me. I prefer this type which is smaller and more flexible,

If you want this pillow to keep cool, there is no difference between this and a regular pillow. But if you want a comfortable pillow like the memory foam pillow, there is a world of difference. The memory foam is hard as a rock until the warmth of your head softens it up and does not bounce back quickly when you roll over. This pillow, however, conforms to your head immediately and you can change positions a dozen times and it bounces right back. Plus it's guaranteed for a year so you have nothing to lose.

Im not 100% since i only bought the Standard support. But i beleieve it has to do witht he Fill density. The standard support is firm, similar to how a memory foam pillow would feel, but with the added benefit of the contours

No clue. It's been awhile since i purchased mine and it may have been overpacked, but I don't remember anything truly memorable. The pillow itself is dense. It was cold when mine arrived and I thought it was going to be like the other memory foam pillows, but when it warmed up, it got much softer. By far the best I've purchased and I think this is the fourth or fifth in my search for a wedge pillow that isn't too hard.

HI..from what I have researched..the MED core is just the middle size version of the TRI core style pillow...they come in 3 sizes, small med., large, so from what I am reading, u have the middle size...they all should have the indent in the middle and u should be able to turn it one way for more neck support,and the other way for less neck support....again, this is what I read on other sites that sell these pillows..Good Luck, I hope u like it....

It's not either of them actually. They aren't exactly the same. But they are nice. Your head sinks in a bit but without the pillow flattening out. And honestly there wasn't much difference between. Sorry if this doesn't really answer your question.

Hi, I also have a tempur-pedic bed. They take time to soften up. Fold the pillow in half and sit on while watching TV. The cloud is the only pillow in the last 5 years I like. I have arthritis in my upper back and all other pillows are too flat or hard. I paid 3500$ for the tempur-pedic bed and it's worth every penny. The pillow gets better its big and stiff in the beginning though...

The only difference I can tell is the color. Looking at both on Amazon, they have 1 year warranties, air bladders, and straps to hold them in place. I have the corflex blue and it is great! My mother-in-law had originally bought several of these pillows from her PT and I liked them so much that when mine died, I bought some more on Amazon.

The cover on my pillow says its a 2. It works really well for what I need. Have had it a couple years and use it every day while sitting at my computer for hours on end and also for extended airline flights...over 2 hours. It is amazing how little air is needed to be comfortable. Have not had a bit of trouble with this. Seems very well built. Prices vary incredibly and with/w-out shipping, so check various sites. Is there a big difference between the "original" and the "2"?

The bottom of the pillow is flat, the top of the pillow has two supportive humps, one side is smaller than the other and firmer than the other. I have to use the smaller side, the bigger side gives me a headache. I got my first pillow like this, this brand, through a chiropractor and now it's the only one I can sleep on. For me, they will last for about 3 years before I replace them, but that's me. It's not a memory foam where is sinks down, it's a foam, but it's a very supportive foam. I highly recommend this pillow, but keep in mind, different things work for different people. Good luck and if I can answer anything else, just ask and I will do my best!!

Hmmm...well, I bought the Core Products Mid-Core Gentle Fiber Neck Pillow Model # 222, which was too big for me because i'm 5'2". Might be a good size for you but I don't really recommend this pillow for bad necks. I've suffered chronic neck pain for 2 years now and this pillow didn't help at all. I've also tried millet pillows, hotel pillows, and even the micropedic pillows from Tony Little. The only solution I've found to get good rest from my neck pain was to use a stomach pillow as a head pillow (flatter than most regular pillow...got mine at ikea) then roll up a towel and place it where the arch of my neck is (till its comfortable for you). This way you can adjust your pillow to fit your head and neck. All pillows come in different sizes, so its hard to recommend something since everyone is different. Its very frustrating. You can always go to Bed Bath and Beyond (use 20% coupons) and try their many pillows too.. If you don't like it...you can always return it. Buying pillows on amazon and returning it is difficult so never buying pillows online again. Oh and if you are a side sleeper, you can place pillows between your leg and under your arm to rest your shoulders from dropping. My physical therapy taught me that. Helped a lot with the shoulders.

My first pillow came from a chiropractor and it was called chiroflow. But then Mediflow took over and to my knowledge the only one you can buy is the mediflow. The mediflow is identical to the chiroflow I originally had, and you will like the mediflow just fine.

Not sure how it compares compares to the other pillow your referring to but I purchased this for my 225# husband for his back problem and he loves it. We tried bed and throw pillows that were too bulky but this one seems to be just right. Hope this helped.
