Title: Arrived early. First Pillow I Bought.. Supportive, soft, and comforting !
Review: I really wasn’t trying to spend more than $50 on a pillow, but after searching for honestly a whole freaking week, I said screw it I’ll spend up to 100. The bad reviews about moldy wetness That dried, horrible scents, rip offs.People’s reviews for this pillows said they’ve tried many pillows for many years and ended up settling with this one. This is the first time buying a pillow but I trust reviews like that and it’s really relevant when you say you’ve tried many pillows and enjoy this one. It made me trust this product.It seemed more comfy and appealing too. Honestly, I could’ve spent less and still got a pillow better than mine. It might be that I’m in love with this pillow because mine was so bad!! I’ve now had neck pain on my right side for more than a year.. I usually only sleep on my side. I haven’t slept on it yet but I did lay on it and I don’t have any doubts that this will dramatically help along with physical activity I’ve already been doing to help it.I smelled it immediately and I made sure I could take a deep inhale. It might be because I have bad sense of smell but there was just the faintest smell of something. But nothing bad about it. Shouldn’t everything weirdly have a faint smell? Like when you walk into a house that isn’t yours or the smell of dust. It’s currently hanging across my laundry hamper in front of the fan so it can air out anyway. I don’t know if it’s better to fluff it up over time with my window open and fan on for fresh air or to put it in the dryer on a low tumble.The outer case was the last thing I needed to push myself to buy it. I wanted not just support, but something comforting and soft. Something that is nice to touch, hold and cuddle when I’m not sleeping.Lastly, not that it matters for the quality of the pillow but I love hand written thank you’s. I usually only see this when buying hand made jewelry. But it also makes me trust the product and feels like each one is made with love. The note is so sweet. “We love people.” I also got a new mattress topper so tonight is going to be a sleepy dream on a cloud. I usually don’t write reviews this long, but if anyone is like me, they’ll buy the pillow based off of what other people say about it. I checked when the package would arrive every night after ordering it because I was truly exited. It was worth it & also, thank you so much.

Title: Finally!
Review: I can't tell you all how many pillows I have purchased over the years, actually it is kind of embarrassing to admit to the excessive amount of pillows I have purchased! It was all in an effort to find comfort at night and not days worth of neck pain! When I get a tension head ache my body does it "right" and I will get those head aches for days. This pillow has been a literal godsend and I am not just saying that trust me, I mean it! I know each person is different so I cannot promise this will be the pillow for you but it is for me. I did have to remove some of the stuffing as it was too thick for me at first but that is what I love about it, you can adjust the pillow to your comfort level. I simply kept the extra stuffing I took out and actually recycled it in a plush toy that my grand child has, it made it fatter and fluffier! I was excited to see the company had pillow cases too because it is an odd shaped pillow. The pillow cases are very soft and cool to sleep on but I have to say, they are very pricey for a pillow case. I know different fabrics cost different amounts of cash, and every time I sleep at night on my comfy pillow and wonderfully soft pillow case for it, it was worth it! I think I may go ahead and purchase another pillow for back up! I found a dream pillow for me and I never want to be without it. BTW, it isn't just for side sleepers, I am side and back sleeper and it works fine for me!

Title: Needs to be personalized by user (new update)
Review: So, I really love this pillow. I've tried at least a dozen different pillows over the past decade, and this one ranks number one in a tie with my SleepEZ organic talalay latex pillow (which was included when I purchased a mattress from the same company 5 years ago).I'm a Senior C with FMS, rotator cuff tendinitis both shoulders, degenerative disc disease, and a herniated disc (thoracic). When I lay down, there's a lot going on and it's a challenge!I purchased the side sleeper contour model.Here's what you need to know about this pillow:1- the stuffing is truly unique. I've never seen anything like it before. It's silky and slippery, and very, very soft. And there's a VERY generous helping of said stuffing in the pillow.2- most sleepers will need to adjust the quantity of stuffing to fit their needs. In general, this means taking some out.3- if you're a fluffy person like me (5'3" - 190lb) you may need a second, regular, flat-ish pillow to serve as support to the Scrumptious pillow. I use my thin, medium firm latex pillow as a sort of bumper under this pillow. I need the extra height and support due to my weight, spine, and shoulder issues.Having said this, I also needed to remove about 1/5 of the Scrumptious stuffing from my pillow in order to achieve the softness and elevation I needed.Bottom line: everyone is different. Be patient, and be willing to mould and massage the pillow so it "fits" you. I'm very pleased so far. Four 1/2 stars, since I did have to work on it a bit...although, to be fair, I don't see how that can be avoided, since we're all uniquely shaped.Product update: 2/21/23So its been about a year, sleeping on this pillow every night. I still love it, best side sleeper pillow I ever used, and is totally compatible with my CPAP equipment. My only dissatisfaction is that the Scrumptious filling is beginning to clump. The filler has a silky, lanolin-like feel to it, which makes this a particularly comfy pillow, but may also be the cause of this loss of fluffiness. The cover can be washed/dried separately, which I do every 3 months or so. I also manually fluff up the filler every week when I change the bedding. Only a temporary solution though...Not sure how to deal longterm with this clumping issue...🤔Update 3/20: I've given up. After a year, the fluff is dead.Imagine cotton candy on a stick: fluffy, airy and light! Now picture the same cotton candy stuffed into a bag. Not so fluffy. This is the problem I'm having with the stuffing for this pillow. No matter how often I remove it, fluff and separate it, restuff the pillow cover... it clumps again within a couple of days.FYI I am freakishly clean - like I wash my hair/body at least once every day. You can't blame this on a hygiene issue.Possible fix: pay attention Honeydew! Humans are generally willing to do just about anything to get a decent night's sleep. Since the only issue is the dead puffy filler, perhaps the manufacturer could sell new filler at a reasonable cost. The pillow cover is in perfect shape...it could be restuffed...?Otherwise it looks like I'll have to buy a whole new pillow once a year.Which I might do. Given no other means of having a good rest. 😞4/13/24: I still love this pillow and have achieved longevity by visiting the company website and ordering replacement bags of pillow Filler. The sales/customer service people are fabulous and the replacement bags are more or less reasonably priced (read: cheaper than a whole new pillow). What bothers me is that although this process is great for me, it's not so good for the environment, since old, clumpy filler goes in the garbage can. For this reason, I'm holding at 4.5 stars.

Title: Love it!
Review: I've had this pillow for over 3 years now. I started having neck pain and stiffness in my early 20's about once a month. I now have zero neck pain since using this as my primary pillow. I'm a lightweight guy around 140# and a side and stomach sleeper. Won't go back to any other pillow!

Review: I really wanted to love this and to sleep like a baby. But after trying three different pillows I’m beginning to think this may be an unrealistic goal. It’s a good pillow and well made. Not sure if it’s worth the price point.

Review: After three nights that's how it looks (see pictures). No support at all, they say it's adjustable! it's nearly empty!!!! Not worth the price! I'm returning it (have to pay for the post)
