I have an $800 Custom Craftworks massage table. Even with a fairly pricey table, the face cradle was uncomfortable for most of my clients. I bought this hoping it would remedy. I didn't tell any of my clients I got a new one. Yet every one of them has commented how they feel their face is on a cloud now. No more imprints from a harder regular foam in their face any more. It is a great price and worth it 1,000X over as my clients leave THAT much happier. Memory foam is amazing

Due to eye surgery I needed to sleep face-down for a week. I looked at several face-down pillows as a possible solution. Most were not suitable due to the following 2 problems:

1) Not enough air flow so you can't breath all night

2) No forehead support

My solution came in 2 steps, as follows:

First Buy the "Memory Face Cradle Pillow Sherpa Covered Face Pillow by Core Products" (sold here on Amazon.com for $46.99)

This is the type of pillow that massage therapists use on their tables. The pillow supports your forehead and cheeks in very soft memory foam. The chin area is open so it's comfortable for extended periods of time.

Second The height of this "Memory Face Cradle Pillow" is 3" so your mouth is very close to the mattress. In order to increase the air flow around the pillow, you need to raise the pillow up off of the bed about 2" by placing the pillow on a platform. So to make a platform, I went to my local home improvement store and bought one 6' long board that was 2" wide and 1" thick. (cost $4.13) I sawed the board into 3 pieces to form a U shape and then sawed four 2" pieces for the legs of my platform. I nailed these pieces together and the end result was a little wood platform to sit my "Memory Face Cradle" pillow on top of. Now, because the pillow is resting on top of this platform and not directly on the mattress, there is airflow all around the pillow. Without this platform, the foam pillow will squash down as you sleep so your mouth will be right on the mattress. The only way to ensure air flow is to build the wood platform and sit the pillow on top of this platform.

Best Deals for Core 972 Memory Face Cradle With Sherpa Cover

The pillow is generally as advertised. It should be strongly advised to the consumer that this pillow cannot be used well on a bed without making some provision for breathing. A spacer of some sort is needed if this is not used on a massage table type device with a hole for breathing. The pillow cover does have velcro sewn into it, but it included no velcro to mate it with, so the pillow opening can widen and leave your face falling through. The pillow advertising just needs more information for the public.

Honest reviews on Core 972 Memory Face Cradle With Sherpa Cover

This is a great "Face Cradle Pillow". It is not a "Face Down Pillow".

From the older reviews that I have read, it seams that many customers have purchased this item as a face down pillow and are complaining that it is too soft or that the face is sinking in all the way down. This is because this item is meant to be used as a cushion on a face cradle (as the item's name indicates clearly).

The item is great and the memory foam is comfortable and always expands back softly to its original form.

I have knocked one star off because the picture of the item implies that you are going to get both sherpa fleece and vinyl covers. Although the name of the item states clearly that it is only a sherpa cover item, stil the picture will confuse buyers. They need to show only the picture of the item that the customers are going to get.

First things first. This is not really meant for use as a pillow for anything other than a massage table. Secondly, this pillow is wonderful. It cradles your face like a cloud and allows for total relaxation of the neck muscles. It's very soft and holds its shape quite well. It's very tempting to use it without an additional cover as the sherpa covering is so soft and supple. It has 3 velcro strips on the bottom of the pillow to attach to most (if not all) massage table cradles.

The table I purchased had a very bad face cradle pillow that left your face numb after only a few minutes. This pillow has turned the only negative about my table into an absolute selling point. Highly recommended!
