Observational before/after survey, completed on 6 November 2026. Carried out at an osteopathy and physiotherapy practice in Milan (Dr Colombo), in collaboration with The Swedish Lab. The data were passed to Mysa, which processed them and publishes them in full, with method and limits. This is not a clinical study and should not be read as one.
We are proud, and frankly not surprised. 116 people with neck problems, after 50 days on Relevia, report on average pain down from 5.0 to 2.4 out of 10, less stiffness on waking and perceived sleep quality almost doubled. 102 out of 116 did not go back to their old pillow. It is what our customers have been telling us for a long time; now it is written in a table.
This survey was the preliminary step. On its basis we have commissioned an independent clinical study from a university in Stockholm, conducted to full scientific standards and intended for publication: it is under way and will be ready soon. Meanwhile other empirical measurements, not yet completed, on sleep depth, posture and sleep apnoea are giving very encouraging first indications. Below you will find method, data and limits, in full.
Self-reported mean values from the 116 participants who completed the 50 days. No control group and no blinding: a consistent signal, not proof of efficacy.
In a group of 116 people with neck problems who already slept on a pillow they had chosen themselves, after 50 days with Mysa Relevia the perceived neck pain fell on average from 5.0 to 2.4 out of 10. Stiffness on waking from 5.2 to 1.9; sleep quality from 4.9 to 8.7. 102 out of 116 said they preferred Relevia to their previous pillow, with a similar pain reduction whatever the shape of the starting pillow.
To assess how perceived neck pain, stiffness on waking, sleep quality, comfort and satisfaction change when a person with neck problems replaces their usual pillow with Mysa Relevia for 50 days.
Observational, before/after, single group. No control group, no randomisation, no blinding.
The pillow each participant had chosen and was using before the survey, classified by shape: traditional unshaped, cervical wave or double wave, bar (“soap”) shape, butterfly. Not every product on the market was compared.
50 days of Relevia use; data collection completed on 6 November 2026.
Data collected at an osteopathy and physiotherapy practice in Milan (Dr Colombo), in collaboration with The Swedish Lab. Processing and publication: Mysa.
People with neck problems who had already looked for a solution, including previous attempts, and slept on the pillow they considered most suitable. Recruited: 128. Completed the 50 days: 116 (12 drop-outs, 9.4%). The analyses concern the 116 completers.
Five indicators, each rated by the participant on a numerical scale from 0 to 10, first with reference to the usual pillow and then at the end of the 50 days with Relevia: perceived neck pain, stiffness on waking, perceived sleep quality, comfort, overall satisfaction.
At the end, a stated preference between the two pillows. For pain and stiffness a lower value is a better outcome; for the other three indicators a higher value.
Means of the 116 completers on a 0–10 scale. Sand bar: previous pillow. Green bar: Relevia after 50 days.
| Indicator | Previous pillow | Relevia, after 50 days | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perceived neck pain | 5.0 | 2.4 | −2.6 (−52%) |
| Stiffness on waking | 5.2 | 1.9 | −3.3 (−63%) |
| Perceived sleep quality | 4.9 | 8.7 | +3.8 |
| Comfort | 4.8 | 9.2 | +4.4 |
| Overall satisfaction | 4.6 | 9.6 | +5.0 |
Relative pain reduction: (5.0 − 2.4) / 5.0 = 52%.
| Shape of previous pillow | Before | Relevia | Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional unshaped | 4.8 | 2.3 | 52.1% |
| Cervical wave / double wave | 5.2 | 2.5 | 51.9% |
| Bar (“soap”) shape | 5.1 | 2.4 | 52.9% |
| Butterfly | 4.9 | 2.4 | 51.0% |
| Weighted total | 5.0 | 2.4 | 52.0% |
The reduction is homogeneous across the four categories: the starting pillow does not appear to affect the size of the reported change.
| Indicator | Value |
|---|---|
| Duration of use | 50 days |
| Recruited | 128 |
| Completers | 116 (90.6%) |
| Preference for Relevia | 102 out of 116 (87.9%) |
An observational survey has precise limits. We list them in full, because they matter as much as the results.
The comparison is with each person’s previously chosen pillow, not with a standard pillow assigned to everyone; the effect of the product cannot be separated from the effect of change itself.
Participants knew which pillow they were rating; expectation may have influenced the answers.
The 0–10 scales are filled in by the participant; no instrumental measurements or independent clinical assessments were made.
People motivated to find a solution and willing to change pillow: the results cannot be generalised to everyone with neck problems.
The survey does not distinguish between the different origins of neck pain.
For these reasons the data should be read as a consistent signal and as the basis for a more rigorous design, not as proof of efficacy. The planned next step is a study with a protocol defined in advance, a comparison group, instrumental measures and peer review.

Mysa Relevia is a cervical pillow with EsaZonale technology: six differentiated support zones designed to adapt to the different sleeping positions. The technology was developed by the Mysa Laboratories in collaboration with Rakuten OÜ and The Swedish Lab.
A pillow can improve support and rest; it does not cure a condition. In case of persistent neck pain, pain radiating to the arm, tingling, dizziness or a recent injury, see your doctor before making any change.
On the product page you will find the six zones, the materials, the offers and Annika’s answers to the most frequent questions.
