Test result preview
TheCloudpillo neck support pillow is a very pleasant and comfortable pillow that should not be missing as a useful extra in any bed. Thanks to the various adjustment options, the pillow can be customised to suit any head and sleeping shape. The surface material is also very skin-friendly. The memory function, which can be reset by refilling the pillow, also makes daily use easier. It should be noted that no manufacturing defects or similar were found on the product. On the negative side, there is a noticeable chemical odour when the vacuum cushion is opened, which only dissipates after several hours. Immediate use of the cushion is therefore only possible to a limited extent.
Advantages
- Setting options with measuring scale
- Pleasant material
- Memory function with reset function
- Very good product processing
Disadvantages
- Chemical odour when opened

The product is supplied in a sturdy hard cardboard box to prevent damage. The neck support pillow is vacuum-packed in a thick plastic film to save space and protect the material. In addition, a scale for the various filling options is printed on the cardboard, which is made visible by a notice. The instructions for use, which are supplied in several languages, are also impressive. The product is self-explanatory, so the instructions for use are helpful with regard to the various filling options.

In the practical test, various sleeping positions such as on the back, on the side or on the stomach were tested. The neck support pillow was very comfortable in all sleeping positions. The pillow has a memory function and adapts easily, which is pleasant when you put it back on, as it quickly returns to its original shape. It is also comfortable for a second person as it adapts quickly without losing its shape and elasticity. The noise generated by movement is perceptible but not disturbing. The chemical odour is perceptible and the pillow should be aired for a few hours after unpacking. Cleaning the pillow is very easy thanks to the zip and it can be washed in any washing machine without any problems.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €104.99 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €39.99 . The Cloudpillo neck support pillow is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €69.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is good.
