Was a skeptic. Not anymore!
I kill pillows. There isn't a comfortable pillow I have owned that I usually don't flatten with a couple days. The only pillows I have not ruined had to be made of solid "comfort" foam and, because of that, they were always uncomfortable, because they never conformed to my head and neck.
Enter My Pillow extra firm fill. I was a skeptic. I have seen the goofy TV commercials for years. The pillows in the commercials looked like flimsy head rests waiting for me to crush in my sleep and then throw away as garbage. Last week I had had enough of the two goose down pillows my neck and arms have suffered with the past two years and so I was on the hunt for my next fluffy filled victims. So, I decided to gamble and purchase the My Pillows using Amazon rewards points.
I am happy I did. My first night sleeping on the extra firm My Pillow took getting used to. What I mean is, I was so used to supporting my head and neck with my arm under a crappy pillow that I was not used to having my arm laying at my side. The pillow firmly supported my head and neck and when I fell asleep, I slept through the night. When I awoke in the morning, I was surprised by two things. I was in the same position I had fallen asleep in and my hips did not hurt like they usually do (I was about to get a new mattress because of hip pain). I still do not understand how head position helped me with my hips, but the My Pillow helped!
The second night of use put a big smile on my face. The My Pillow is so soft and comfy, but the extra firm fill was still doing its job of supporting my head and neck, that I fell asleep right away. I had a terrific night sleep!
I have been using the My Pillow now for only four nights, but it has survived. You can see by the picture that it (the one with the pink cover) looks pretty close to the one next to it without the cover. I have not used the uncovered one... yet.
Overall, this is the best pillow I have owned. However, I will give it some more time to beat on it in sleep. It may still find itself collapsing like all past pillows I have owned. I will see. But, so far so good!
A couple tips. Make sure you put the pillows in the dryer to fluff them up like the instructions tell you to do. I put mine in the dryer on medium heat for 30 minutes. I recommend getting a firmer pillow than what you think you need. It seems to me that the firmer the pillow the more fill it has in it. Something to think about.
I would not hesitate to buy this pillow again... in fact, I just bought two more of them!
