5.0 out of 5 stars
Great to Sleep With, February 20, 2009
This review is from: 3-Pound Memory Foam Contour Pillow (Kitchen)
I bought this for my special someone, and she loves it. She has regular back and neck pain, and had struggled in the past to find a good pillow.
She had used down, cotton, firm, soft, and even put a rolled towel in the bottom of the pillowcase to provide support, but not until she used this pillow did she truly find comfort.
So, people seem to like the Pro/Con breakdown; here's mine:
Pros:
- Comfortable support for your head and neck
- Good quality cover, and fits easily into current pillowcases
- Two different-sized "contours" (small/large) to fit any size neck
- Great weight for pillowfights
Cons:
- Only one pillow (too small to share comfortably)
- Makes current pillows seem weak, awkward, and generally lame
- Devastating to lamps during pillowfights
I would recommend buying two of these pillows - so far, only buying one has been my only regret.
*****Update - August, 2010*****
I've had this pillow for over 20 months at this point and it is still in great shape. The cover has not frayed or thinned, and the material is just as firm as it was when I bought it. I would rate the durability as excellent.
As a note, my beautiful wife bought me a similar memory foam pillow this past Christmas because she was so in love with hers, and tired of me trying to steal hers. She bought me the 4-pound model which works well for me. She is a more petite person than I, and finds her 3-pound pillow better for her smaller stature and smaller head. I like the additional support provided with the 4-pound pillow.
If you are an average, or above average-sized person, I would recommend going with one of the heftier pillows. The 3-pound version works great for petite individuals or kids, and I still prefer the lighter memory foam pillow over traditional feather or poly-blend pillows.
*****Update - April, 2011*****
The pillow has finally reached the end of its useful life and will be replaced. Overall I am satisfied that it lasted over two years with great results. If it were not sold out, I would by another.

Comfortable, but rediculously smelly, January 30, 2010
This review is from: 3-Pound Memory Foam Contour Pillow (Kitchen)
I bought this for my wife for Christmas. As a matter of fact, I had to send it back to get another one. Then I had to send that one back to get a refund. This pillow has a very powerful stench of petrochemicals, so much that it gave everyone who tried to use it a migraine. Also, a very large flammability warning was on the pillow. Correct me if I am wrong, because I deal with industrial and occupational safety instead of home safety, but isn't all bedding materials supposed to be flame retardant? As always, Amazon was great to work with and gave me a refund.
