Xtreme Comforts Shredded Memory Foam Pillow- Allergy-Friendly & Cooling Pillow Cover for Side, Back & Stomach Sleepers- Machine Washable - Foam Pillows for Sleeping & Neck Pain Relief (Queen)

This is the umpteenth pillow I’ve tried. In other words, I’ve lost count. And finally, this is THE one. The firmness and softness can be tailored to my preferences simply by removing the filling if the pillow seems too firm -as the manufacturer notes; . I didn’t need to do that.Yes, these pillows aren’t cheap but the quality totally justifies the price (and I’m someone who normally shops for bargains). They’re durable. . And while this isn’t likely to apply to you, they were the ONLY pillows my spouse could stand after open heart surgery. He could actually sleep through the night, not an easy feat for a heart surgery patient. They made a world of difference. For this reason alone (but there are plenty of others), I highly recommend these pillows.

I've had this pillow for a few months now, and I think it's great. I was a bit skeptical about this pillow, since most other memory foam pillows are just large flops for me. But this one really grew on me, and I can't sleep on traditional pillows anymore. When I first got the pillow, I was amazed at how it expanded from a rolled form, to a normal large pillow. The smell is relatively strong when you receive the product, which is why I let it air out for about 5 days. I would turn the pillow once a day to let the sides evenly air out. The smell even after 5 days was pretty noticeable, but keep in mind, I never threw it into a dryer or anything. The smell definitely goes away with time, so don't mind it too much.When I did start sleeping on this pillow, it did feel pretty resistant. If I had to compare it to some form of cushion, it is extremely similar to seats in a car. Which is why I had my initial regrets on this product. But don't let that scare you, since you do have to break in this pillow for about 1-3 weeks time. The cushion of this pillow after the breaking in period is just AMAZING. I'll try to explain how the cushioning of this pillow feels in comparison to normal pillows you get at general stores. When you get a normal pillow, it starts off as extremely fluffy for 1-2 weeks. But after that period of extremely fluffiness, you get a period of a "JUST RIGHT" sort of cushion and resistance. Then after that "JUST RIGHT" feeling that lasts for about 3-4 weeks, it is just flat from there on out. With this memory foam pillow, it is now always at a "JUST RIGHT" feeling for me. And it has been that way for months now, never feeling like it's going flat. So after you get past the initial smell and uncomfortable resistance, the pillow should feel pretty great.I'm a side sleeper, however I could easily relax on this pillow when on my back. I've actually found myself getting pretty sleepy with this pillow, just by resting on it to surf on my phone. I haven't experienced any problems of feeling too hot or cold when on this pillow, if anyone was wondering. I feel like it is easy to mold the pillow to how you want, if it somehow gets displaced. What I usually do from time to time is grab the pillow from both ends (left/right), and begin push + pulling. This usually gets the foam centered in the middle, and it naturally molds to where I rest my head.The cover that holds all the foam is actually extremely comfortable. It is very easy for me to use this pillow with or without an additional cover, and I might actually prefer it without an additional pillow cover. But I believe it is preference, I think the pillow would get dirty if you choose to sleep without an additional cover.I think if you're curious about getting a memory foam pillow, definitely try this one. I don't think it should go flat on you in any time. If you're wondering what size you should get, I would recommend going for the Queen size, since that is the one I'm speaking on behalf of. I've actually bought this pillow for 2 relatives, since I thought this pillow was pretty game changing to sleeping. But I did warn them that they did have to break the pillow in!TL;DR- Smell may be strong for others, but does go away with time- Initially has a relatively uncomfortable resistance at the start, takes 1-3 weeks to break in+ Has a very pleasant cushioning after breaking in+ Does not feel like it goes flat, even after a few months+ Feels neutral in terms of temperature, doesn't make you feel hot or cold+ Easy to mold+ Cover is comfortable+ Go for the Queen size

I want to impart my first 14 days with this product upon you, if I can.Here's my profile for comparison:- I have a big, heavy head- I sleep on my side and sometimes my belly- I run hot, and can't stand sleep-goods that don't breatheThis is the best pillow I've ever owned, so far, with one caveat. The firmness is just right for me. It's supportive without nagging. It doesn't try to force my neck to do anything it doesn't want to, but it also doesn't let my head sink right down to the mattress. This pillow supports you like a good friend - just enough without crossing any lines.It breathes, too. It breathes like a meditation instructor: thoroughly. I've had solid memory foam pillows before that caused and soaked enough sweat as to be unsanitary before long - not this. It stays temperate and comfortable in spite of my best efforts to the contrary.Now for the caveat. The smell. Right out of the package, it's not great. It smells stale, but a level beyond simply being stale, it smells like it's making things near it smell stale. It's almost like a chemically induced stale smell. It's like an amplified version of the distinct scent of warm, wet cardboard box filled with worn socks that has been allowed to dry just a bit. And it's strong. I've aired this thing out, covered it in two cases, sprayed it with fabric odor killer, and even now it persists somewhat, though greatly diminished.Why didn't I return it? This is what shredded memory foam smells like. I have a "bean bag" chair from Sumo that's filled with the same stuff and it smells exactly the same. By matter of volume, that chair hasn't completely aired out in the 6 months we've owned it, either. This is, I think, the nature of the beast. Give it time and cope with it, it will go away. I have to dock a star for that though.To conclude, this is an amazing pillow. It's not perfect, and anyone who is sensitive to smells should be very wary.

Finally found a comfortable pillow for me. I sleep on my side and needed a slight depression in the pillow center. Most foam pillows don’t give…too hard. Once I removed some fill and shook the remainder to even it out …Viola, a perfect pillow….just enough give in the center that remains constant while I sleep. The cover has a comfortable texture that breathes too! Fantastic product!
