On the Amazon platform, the butterfly pillow from maxVitalis receives an average of 4.1 stars. Customers occasionally criticise the initial firmness and rigidity of the pillow, which leads to initial sleeping problems. Nevertheless, it is positively emphasised that neck and headaches disappear after the familiarisation phase and that the pillow is comfortable in various sleeping positions. However, some customers find the firmness too high and miss a sufficient depression in the centre area for better neck relaxation. Our practical test confirmed that the pillow takes some getting used to at first, but offers good support in the long term, especially for those who suffer from neck problems.
Prices of up to €160 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €30 , meaning that the maxVitalis side sleeper pillow is currently in the lower price segment with a price of €48 .99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
