Too Hard, Too Much Rise for Side Sleeper
I've had these pillows for 6 weeks and I've come to the conclusion that I absolutely hate them. I bought them because I'm allergic to down and dust mites, and I was so focused on something hypoallergenic that I didn't consider neck comfort.
1) I am a side sleeper and these pillows have insane amounts of rise. If I slept in the middle of these I'd look like the Bent-Neck Lady from the Haunting of Hill House. I can only sleep at the edge, and it's very uncomfortable. Every day I wake up with neck pain.
2) They're not really that soft or moldable. It's even harder to sleep on them because it feels they're actively resisting my body weight.
I was hoping that sleeping on these would soften them up and make the rise go down, but I waited to long and now I can't even return them. The only redeeming things I think of for this pillow is that they look nice on a bed and also have a relatively neutral temperature. They'd make a decent body pillow, except I bought them as a neck pillow.
I don't understand how these have so many 5-star reviews. These pillows are an absolute nightmare and I would not recommend them to anyone.
