Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So I am ultra picky about body pillows. I have severe back issues and I am a side sleeper. Oh and I am fluffy (very fluffy!) so this is kinda painful to do online in a way - because I have no idea what I am going to be getting. I looked and looked and AGONIZED over making a decision (my old body pillow is a body pancake). For reference I am 5ft 6 and the pillow is about 5 feet long (so I wasn't being suffocated, which is good because I like to breath!) Arrived with good speed, frustration free packaging, folded in half. The body pillow does not come in the case - you have to put it on. The easiest way I found was pretend the body pillow is your leg and the cover are pantyhose and roll it up and release little bits of material as you go up. The quality of the pillow is actually really nice. The material is thick, well stitched, the filling is fairly even in it as well (despite being folded in half). The case is "ok* and I really cant say more then that. It reminds me of motel sheets honestly. I chose to use a different case (as seen in the pictures) Ok so the first night was a little difficult to get used to because its super thick and wide and fluffy (like me!) but I made it through finally. Then again, every body pillow I get takes some getting used to honestly. The second night was better as I realized for as firm and fluffy as it is, its quite mold-able into many positions (*get your mind outta the gutter*) I did put a cover on there because frankly white gets dirty too quick. And the Pinzon tag is annoying ( I finally cut the tag off ). Oh and after a single night the cover was starting to create pills or piles or whatever they're called. Ya know the little material balls (*again get your mind out of the gutter!*) Because of the overall heft of the pillow it was a little tricky getting it into the new pillow case, but I was able to do so. I would highly strongly suggest getting a double zipper style and/or a higher quality cover (if you choose to) and rolling the pillow case up and rolling it up the body pillow else its a terror to get in. So I attached some pictures. The grey tote in the background is the standard tote you get at WalMart for like 5 bucks or whatever and used as a reference height at its full fluff level. The Other pictures are showing you how nice the stitching is the the material itself. I will update again in a few months with an update as to how fluffy has held up against my fluffy self.
