This pillow is the perfect size and density. I have to sleep with my leg and arm thrown around something and normal pillows lost their fluff and wern't big enough...this pillow is perfect and has really held up. It doesn't hold in your body heat/outside cold either, so it never makes you feel too hot or too cold. I really do recomend buying this for yourself...or for anyone who has wanted a body pillow.

I bought this pillow to help support my pregnant belly when I was 5 months pregnant. I used it twice. It is too hot! If you are pregnant and you are warm most of the time, I don't recommend this pillow. Also, it is very bulky and hard to manage in a queen size bed with another person in there too. I could just be wierd but I thought I would share that it really seems to keep the heat and was just too hot for me.

If you've ever been to any normal store that has pillows, you'll know that finding a body pillow that wont die in 5 seconds is hard. I've had this for a few weeks now and it shows no signs of loosing its fluff, of which it is very fluffy, but not so much that it will smother you. If it lasts longer than my other failed attemps, I may have to stock up.

It has been over a month and I am still happy with the pillow. I only wish it had a little more fluff to it.

As far as body-pillows go, I have bought several in the past that quickly loose their shape and become uncomfortably lumpy within weeks. THIS HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE WITH THIS PILLOW. I am very happy to report that my husband spent a good hard month of twisting it, hugging it, and smashing it into submission and it still retains its original shape and "fluffy-ness" without any signs of the fibers inside "lumping up."

My only qualm with this pillow is this: When the product arrived at my home, there was a small hole along one of the corner seams. I didn't bother shipping it back, I simply mended it with a good sturdy thread and don't anticipate having any further problems.

As a side note to those of you with allergies who have never tried hypoallergenic pillows... they make my dust allergies must easier to deal with. So that's an added bonus.


tl;dr
Outside pillow fabric: 8/10 (for the minor, very easy to fix seam damage)
Stuffing: 10/10 after 1 month of use

Really liked it and am VERY happy with my husbands new body-pillow.

I received this pillow a few days ago and it's great. I have fibromyalgia and it's very difficult for me to sleep and keep areas of my body supported to minimize pain. This pillow is perfect! Whatever it is made of is wonderful. You have the feeling you are lying on a big gel pad. It didn't go flat from having full body weight on it either. I recommend this to anyone that is looking for durability and comfort.

I think this is a wonderful pillow, especially for the price. It's just like down - nice and squishy but not flimsy, and it's super comfortable. I always slept on my stomach and had the hardest time during the beginning of my pregnancy to fall asleep on my side or back. I can spend literally hours tossing and turning, but as soon as I get cuddled up with this thing I'm out. Yes, it has been nice during the pregnancy, but even my husband loves it. I have to fight him for it many nights....
Obviously, I'm really glad I got this pillow - and again, it seems like a steal for the price. I cover it with two king cases, too, by the way. Highly recommended!

Addition 2 yrs later : still love it, and have since bought another. Wish price hadn't gone up (was only 29), but still worth it. One in mine and hubby's bed (usually used by him, though I am pregnant again and will have to start stealing it back, ha) and one in the 2-yr-old twins'; my daughter falls asleep "hugging" it every single night and nap. There's just something about this pillow~!

I have had this pillow for about 4 weeks and it has already lost about 2/3 of its loft. It crushes down very fast and is not worth the money. Find another pillow!

I'm hoping I'm the only one with this problem. When I put the pillow into a cover I bought, almost 1/4 of the pillow's stuffing sunk down. After about a week, it slipped even more. The pillow is now about 1/2 it's size. Not worth the money; especially since it's not as dense as I expected. Guess I'll have to go to the store and buy extra stuffing to get it back where it was which is the perfect size for me. The size (when fully stuffed)is the only good thing I have to say.

I got this when I was about 4 months pregnant and love it. I'm now 8 months and am still able to sleep through the night without waking up. It truly helps me stay on my left side all night - without it I wake up flat on my back. I still don't really know what gel fiber is, but I think it is a great consistency - not too soft and collapsible but not too hard either. It gets dented in where I wrap my leg around it, but it fluffs back out.
