3.0 out of 5 stars took awhile to break in, was yellow & smelly upon receipt, March 9, 2007

They work great, but don't buy them on sale. I suspect that this pillow sat in a warehouse for a long time (perhaps this is the reason for the great sale price?). The memory foam tends to yellow with age and when I received mine it already had dark yellow blotches on it. I exchanged it for what I hoped would be a better one, but no such luck. Also, the foam seemed rather stiff (also a function of age?) and took a good month of use to soften up and contour to my head and neck as intended. Literature included with the pillow warns of a nasty smell that will dissipate as the product is aired out. This was an understatement! The odor made the pillow initially unusable, but went away after several days of airing and a liberal application of lavender oil. All things considered, I did pay very little for it and I and my cervical spine are very happy with it now.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a typical king size, strong odor, and extremely stiff, March 27, 2007

This review is from: Obus Forme Contoured Memory Foam Pillow Plus, King (Health and Beauty)

It was apparent upon immediate receipt that this pillow was not a typical king-sized pillow and was only two inches larger than the standard memory foam contour pillow I already own.

As noted in the other comment, the odor was extremely strong. Though I have not owned this pillow for very long, I made numerous attempts to "air out" this pillow, and the odor remains very strong.

In addition, this is the firmest memory foam pillow I have ever experienced. I'm hoping with time that it will soften, because it certainly can not be used for sleeping in its current state.

Do yourself a favor and forget about purchasing this item. First, there is an odor that will remain for months, never completely disappearing. Second, there was a large stain, probably from poor storage, and its appearance is similar to a stain a poorly trained house pet may leave on the pillow. Third, the material isn't as soft as it's purported to be and due to the firmness, any possible comfort is lost. Just do yourself a favor and pay a bit more at Brookstone for a pillow that's more effective, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing. In short, this pillow belongs in a refuse pile that's meant for incineration. You don't want archaeologists of the future to look back on this item in a landfill and believe we were actually stupid enough, especially in this recessionary period, to pay good money because it was less expensive than a pillow of far superior quality.
