Down Alternative Eco Pillow, Standard, 20 x 26 in

I have been on a pillow hunt for years. Truthfully I wasted hundreds, yes, hundreds of dollars on pillows which promised the best sleep ever. More often than not they were heavy cement bags that I knew after one night would be designated to one of the guest rooms. I finally purchased these because we stay at the Marriott frequently and I’ve always liked their pillows. I shouldn’t have been such a pillow snob. These are fantastic and I bought four because we each usually use two pillows. However with these we only need one pillow to sleep comfortably. I should have bought these years ago! I’m thankful every night — yes, they are that comfortable.

This is our second set of Marriott pillows. You know those heavenly pillows at Marriott hotels, well these are the ones. Soft, puff-up-able, sleep inducing, wonders. Compared to pillows I’m use to buying they are pricey. But worth it. So take care of them. Follow the washing instructions. And wash as often as recommended. Buy breathable zip on pillow covers, which help them hold there shape. And keep them from discoloring.

This pillow helps me - a person who sleeps on her back or side - avoid the kind of neck pain I get with other pillows. It gives me support where I need it, but doesn't press hard anywhere. I can shape it as I need it to be. My only complaint is that it does seem to retain too much body heat, so after half the night, I'm being awakened by an uncomfortably-hot neck, and so have to flip the pillow over. Otherwise, I am totally pleased.

first off, I have spent 1800 nights at Marriotts since 1991. I log 1-2 nights per week almost all year round and so I am very familiar with most Marriott pillows found at full-service, JW, Ritz, Courtyards, and Residence. Some Marriotts use what feels like cutup foam pieces, these are actually the ones I like best, they are firm and cool to sleep on. this pillow is more like a hollow fill and is not as firm but still very comfortable. I sleep hot and it stays cool.

Nice but way too firm

I love these king pillows. Best pillows I’ve ever had. I was in a car accident ten years ago and I couldn’t find a pillow, UNTIL NOW! We were staying at the Marriott and commented on how comfortable the pillows were, so I bought two. Best pillow decision I’ve ever made. I sleep hot and these don’t overheat like the My Pillow or hard molded pillows. I also don’t have to fluff it up every hour. Call me a pillow snob, but for the first time in ten years, my neck doesn’t hurt when I wake up.

I stayed at the Courtyard Marriott in Birmingham, AL and fell in love with the pillows during my stay. I immediately ordered one for myself after finding out they are sold on Amazon. It came in a very nice Marriot branded sleeve, but I knew it wasn’t the same pillow as soon as it was removed. 1. The pillow was PACKED FULL. This prevented it from being adjusted into a comfortable position. 2. It didn’t feel like down alternative. The contents felt like a single unit that couldn’t be shifted or manipulated in any way. 3. It didn’t feel cool or airy at all. Just one big bulky chunk. I submitted my return, but curiosity persuaded me to look inside. There is no access to the fill so I had to cut it open. This very well could be recycled “something” made out of polyester fiber, but it was literally two large pieces of squished material that looked (to me) like your regular everyday cotton. This pillow is supposed to be a high quality down alternative (which would be a hypoallergenic version of under feathers). Two big chunks of cotton doesn’t feel anything like tiny bits of soft feather fluff. Anyway, I removed one piece and tossed it, then tore the remaining piece up into small clusters and put it back inside. MUCH BETTER, but still not the same as the hotel pillow I fell in love with. I really feel like this manufacturer needs to be investigated because I have a hard time believing Marriott would be deceiving their valuable patrons like this. No value for the money. I was so excited to finally get a pillow I love - nope.

After staying in a Residence Inn, I looked at the pillow label and found that Marriott sells it. I almost didn't buy because of the negative reviews, but I decided to try it. I'm so glad I did. I got a queen size and it's much fuller than the one in the hotel. I suppose because 100's of people haven't slept on it. I like this pillow because it does sink in the middle and support your side to side movement. and when you do sleep on your side you can ball up the edge to give yourself good neck support.
