- Hi folks.
I'm Bob Schrupp, physical therapist.
- Brad Heineck, physical therapist.
- Together we are the most famous
physical therapists on the internet.
- Well. in our opinion, of course, Bob.
- And we had just done a video on how to handle
when you're waking up with headaches and neck pain.
And one of the possible solutions
is to get a contour pillow.
- Sure.
- So we actually have two of them here
that we're just gonna talk briefly about.
- You bet.
- The whole thing, again, with the contour pillow,
the idea is you're trying to support the head and the neck.
- Sure.
- So it's got contours in it.
I don't know if you can see that real well on here.
So usually on a typical contour pillow
you're gonna have one side that's a little higher
than the other side, and then-
- In the valley in between.
- In the valley in between,
and that's where you put your head.
Okay, and this part's supporting the neck.
Now, as Brad said in the other video,
it could depend on how thick your neck is
or bigger your head is.
- Or your shoulders.
And that'll determine which side you want to use.
It also may be different when you flip over onto your side.
You may want the contours to be a little bit different
than when you're on your back.
- Sure.
- So that's why they have the different sizes
on both of these pillows.
Now the two pillows we have here,
the first one is the smaller one.
That's the, oh no, this is the smaller one.
Yeah, this is the smaller one.
This is the Viva.
V-I-V-E, I don't know how you say it, Brad,
if it's Vive or Viv or Veeve.
So it's the Vive Contour Memory Foam Pillow.
- I think that's right.
- Yeah.
And this was $44.90, is what we paid for it on Amazon.
And this is the first one my daughter tried,
and she didn't like it because it was too dense.
And we were talking about this.
I don't know if you could send these back or not.
I imagine you probably can,
but the whole issue is
you're not gonna know until you try it,
whether or not you could sleep with it.
- Right, right.
- I mean, that's the problem, isn't it?
- Mm-hmm.
- So this one's a little more dense.
It's a little shorter than the other one too.
This one is 20 inches long by 14 inches wide
and then 5 inches thick at the thickest end.
- Sure.
- So.
- Yeah, so you can kinda, you know,
we got different sizes this way and this way.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- And this one is got like a valour cover.
They both had lifetime guarantees.
In both cases, they were talking a little bit about a smell,
a chemical smell.
And these are some of the reviews,
and we did not have the smell on either one of them.
This one, which is the Aeris Contour Pillow,
actually says that they aerate it for seven days.
Which, I don't know what that means.
- As part of the manufacturing process.
- As part of manufacturing process,
they're trying to get that chemical smell outta there.
- Sure.
And that's A-E-R-I-S,
right? - Yes.
- [Bob] A-E-R-I-S, very good.
- How much does that one cost?
- This one was $37.90.
- Amazon?
- Amazon.
- Okay.
- And this had two sizes and she got the bigger one.
The standard size is 21.3 by 12.6 by 4.7.
- Okay.
- This is the larger one, 23, almost 24 inches long,
almost 16 inches wide,
and again, almost 5 inches on the depth.
- Sure.
- 4.7.
So again, I'd like to give you more review.
I think either one is fine, depending on your preference.
I don't know how-
they have the lifetime guarantee.
- I just, just curious.
- Wanna try once, okay.
- Quick there.
- [Lonnie] Can you wash them?
- [Bob] You can wash the cover.
- Yep, they zip up.
- Yeah, the cover, yep.
Good question, Lonnie.
- Oh, yeah.
- [Bob] You can see.
So you got the thinner side,
and now lay on your side once, Brad.
- Could you hold on those, please?
- Sure.
- So I'm gonna try both ways.
I think this way is gonna fit better.
- Really?
- I think so.
- So he did flip,
and that that's the way my daughter uses it too.
- She has to flip-
- Let me try that one.
- All right, here's the other one.
- Now, this is one they should have.
This one feels better, Bob.
- Yeah, this one's softer.
- Oh.
- That's the Aeris and it's softer.
- My head's sinking in farther.
- Right.
- I got a fat head, Bob.
- Yeah, I noticed that.
It's not because there's much in it either.
- Well, I definitely, I need the thicker spot to my neck.
But let me see when I go to my back.
Well, I don't know.
This is one of those things you have to play with.
- Right.
- But you'll get it down; it won't take long.
You'll have your- - You'll know which one-
- [Bob] That looks better.
- Oh, yeah.
- That looks really good, actually.
- Oh, right, Bob, I feel good.
- So I think you'd be an Aeris too.
- Yeah.
- So, all right, Brad.
- Oh, yeah. - Get up.
- [Bob] It's time to go back to work.
- Okay, time to go.
- So, if you haven't already, please subscribe to us,
and remember we can fix just about anything.
- Except for a broken heart.
Look it over here, Leopold.
He's got a heart there.
- Napoleon.
- Napoleon (laughs) that's right.
- He's got his heart.
The- - Brad's gonna show you how.
- [Brad] Yes.
Now if you've got a broken heart like this,
we're not real good at fixing it, but we're working at it.
- That's right.
- Yeah, we've tried two different things so far.
- Nothing seems to work.
- We can fold it together.
- All right.
Thanks a lot.
- That's not bad, Bob.
