Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Initially both my wife and I found this pillow to be more comfortable than the typical low cost pillows found in department stores. However, unlike what is stated in the commercials, we did find ourselves repositioning the pillow during the night, although perhaps a bit less so than before. I would say that we found the pillows to be acceptable for about the first month. Then, we found that the pillows began to degrade, became flatter and less supportive, even though we refluffed them several times in the dryer as per instructions. Finally I cut one open and found that the foam pieces were actually breaking down into a foam like dust. Our conclusion: These pillows are cheaply made, do not hold up, and are not worth buying...at any price. It appears that that most of their high price goes into the advertising budget and not into quality. Now here's the rest of our saga. We next tried the Home COOP shredded gel foam pillows which have the nice feature of a zippered case to permit adjustment of the amount of foam filling. We give that pillow two stars. It lasted a bit longer than the My Pillow but only about a month longer before it also lost its original supportive properties. Next we tried Pacific Coast feather core + down firm dream pillows. These are actually pretty comfortable and supportive pillows...three stars, but still not what we had hoped. Finally, in desperation we tried the HULLO buckwheat shell filled pillows. I was pretty certain that we would not like them at all, but I wanted to give them a try anyway. Result? We love them. The instructions indicate that it may take a number of nights to get used to these pillow. For us, we loved them the first night. They are comfortable and supportive. We seldom if ever need to reposition the pillows at night. We find that we are getting a better nights sleep than ever before. By the way both my wife and I are side sleepers and are not heavy people. I do not believe that we put unusual stress on our pillows.
