These pillows were purchased and started being used in early January 2021, and I wanted to wait before submitting a review to see if they actually upheld to the advertised promises and information. Five months later, this review can actually say they have!We are like a lot of people trying to find a pillow type that actually fulfills its advertised promises but actually works for each person's sleeping patterns, and for the first time in 25 plus years of hunting, we have found a pillow that works for every member of our family. The advertised promises state that the pillow will not bunch, go flat, and loose its form. I have attached 2 pictures to this review to show how the pillow looks after 5 months of constant use. It definitely shows normal "wear and tear" but has maintained all of its qualities and comfort.To expect a pillow to always maintain its new "straight of the box" appearance and quality is unreasonable, but to expect a pillow to be able to maintain its shape, comfort and overall quality over a reasonable lifespan for a pillow is very reasonable. To better describe the attached pictures, during this period of usage, this pillow has not been washed and has been used every night consecutively for over 5 months. The main test that this pillow has gone through, though, is the extreme side effects of the COVID vaccine that I went through recently.By day 3, I was at 103.2 fever even while taking acetaminophen and ibuprofen simultaneously. Intense muscle pains and spasms were over my entire body, and joint aches with electric shocks were pulsing throughout my feet and hands. My skin was so sensitive that no one could touch me, and it hurt just to lay in bed. It felt like tack nails were coming up and out of the skin on my legs. Insomnia, lost of taste, nausea, teeth rattling chills and cold, light sensitivity, and a never ending migraine headache for 6 days were just a few of the other side effects to round out my vaccine experience.Now to the good part ?! The same pictured pillow in this review helped me through it all and the current 2nd dose I'm going through right now. While I was sweating with the constant high fever, this pillow absorbed some of the sweat while whisking away the majority of it. What little sweat it absorbed dried within 30 minutes to 1 hour by simply flipping the pillow over to air dry. Even with the high fever, this pillow did not make me hotter or more uncomfortable by holding the heat created by my fever. As the same time, it helped me with the extreme cold and chills I was experiencing by maintaining a low, comfortable level of heat without the pillow itself making me sweat even more. Between the all encompassing body pain and migraine, I twisted, turned and contorted this pillow into all imaginable shapes and positions in attempts to get comfortable, and just look at how it made out! Even as painfully sensitive as my skin was, this pillow was cool and soft to the touch.Trying to get and stay comfortable while you're ill or in pain is a challenge to say the least. Therefore, any little trick in the book to alleviate discomfort, especially through insomnia, is too invaluable to measure. This pillow survived all of the above, met and exceeded the advertised promises, and earned this 5 star review ✔
