Bedding Bed Pillows for Sleeping King Size, Perfect for Back, Stomach or Side Sleepers - My Pillow Classic Pillow [King, Firm]

I waited far too long to get one of these. I had read other reviews about how badly it was but dismissed most because rather than give a deep review of just how it under performed they were mostly anger filled rants and I don't have time for those. I decided to go to the My Pillow website and check them out since they have so many different fills and sizes and on Amazon they don't have any way of helping you find the one the is right for you. On the My Pillow web site there is a 5 or so question survey you take to find out what type of pillow is best for you. I thought, 'They can't be serious, this short questionnaire is going to determine the right pillow for me?' So I filled it out and it said I needed the firm fill, 'FIRM FILL?! are they kidding!?' Firm pillows have never been comfortable for me. So, I decided maybe this pillow wasn't for me and let it go. A few days later I went back to the site and read more of the information on the pillows they provide again and took the same short survey with the same result (I wasn't expecting a different answer btw) but this time the idea was growing on me. I went back and read a lot of the 4 and 5 star reviews on Amazon and I began to feel that this may be something that could work out. I had planned to buy it from Amazon so if it didn't work out returning it would be fast and easy. BE READY! when it arrives it is rolled up tight like a sleeping bag and once opened it is FLAT. I thought, 'WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?', BUT there is a set of instructions that tells you to put it in the dryer for 15 minutes to fluff it up. I thought, "Fluff it up!?, I toss pillows when they look like this!" GRRRRRRR, So I put it in the dryer and son-of-a-gun it was fluffed up 100%. OK I was impressed and my frustration was quelled a bit. ONE THING TO ALSO NOTE, there is a strong manufactured smell to it. I washed mine twice and dried it several times over two days but the smell just doesn't fade very quickly. I left it in another room for about 5 days before the smell was gone enough to be use-able so be ready for a bit of a wait. After all of that this pillow actually worked out PERFECTLY! I had serious reservations about a firm pillow being comfortable but because of the fill, which are unique foam pieces, there is plenty of 'give' when I rest my head but my head never sinks into the pillow deeply, it stays right where it needs to be all night. I sleep better and longer, get more rest and do wake up with no neck stiffness. Before buying off Amazon I recommend going to the My Pillow website and taking the short questionnaire, it helped me a lot in deciding what was the right fill for me and also keep in mind that items like pillow types are not universally good for everyone. What works for one person may not for another.

First, follow the directions to fluff in dryer for 15 min. It releases the foam to expand. I couldn’t believe the amount of faulty bad reviews because the buyer failed to read that simple instruction. Second, this pillow saves me every time! In the past, I suffered a lot of neck and shoulder pain. I bought this on impulse and desperation. I couldn’t believe it. Decades later I’m on my third pillow from this company. My last one was finally losing its fluff. The pain was returning, waking me at 3 am and on for weeks. Last night was my first night with the new pillow and once again the “magic” happened. I slept thru the night and woke up pain free. I can’t explain it but I never regret my first purchase and I’ll never buy another brand for myself. It’s been a blessing: FYI - there was no smell that bothered me upon opening it, the support is firm but then shapes to your need, and the quality is satisfactory lasting about 7 -10 years per purchase if you’re not hard on your pillow. Total game changer for my sleep and condition.

I have been using these pillows for many years and has been the only pillow I can use without getting neck and head pain. I sleep better! Very little smell which is great! The chunks of memory foam are easy to adjust for restless sleepers. However..... They're just not the same as they used to be. The chunks don't seem as puffy giving it a bit of a harder feel. I have tried other brands that have chopped up foam and they mush together and feel like sleeping on putty. This is not that bad and still better than the other brands, but just not the same. Would have been 4 stars, but another star taken because I ordered a firm, and the firm that I got is not filled like the previous firm MyPillows. It did not have as much filling. It was just like the medium fill. Still a good pillow. But if you are used to the originals, these are somewhat disappointing.

This is a review for the standard size basic pillow with firm level fill. It seems that these may have gone down in quality from years ago from reading other recent views, but i have to say im pretty satisfied. It works great, but i gave 4 stars instead of 5 solely because there COULD technically be a little more fill crammed in there for the price. But even though im a big guy, i didnt experience waking up to a hurting neck or my head flat on the matress because the fill gave way. It was actually legitimately the best pillow comfort wise that ive ever used (not that ive ever spent a car payment on a pillow or something to compare lol). I typically sleep on my side, and this just worked out perfectly. When i got the pillow, i fluffed it by hand and then put it in the dryer for 15 mins as they instructed on the package, and it REALLY fluffed up from that. The way these pillows "work" is that you can push (fluff) the filling together into the middle from the sides and it will actually stay like that. You can do this to the point that the pillow is about a foot high lol, and it will hold that position. It feels great as a side sleeper when my head sinks into the pillow after doing that. It wont be exactly as packed when you wake up the next morning, but as i said it didnt go flat by any means. I believe it does help me sleep better which was my sole purpose in buying one. Thinking about getting some for xmas gifts for loved ones, thats how much im enjoying it.

Love these pillows, I have been using them for years. I have two pillows I sleep on, this one and a Serta. It has just enough fluff not to hurt my neck; I have arthritis in my neck and back.

Love my special pillow but with that said it sure is not the same quality as they were when I purchased my last one. Will keep it though.

THE SHREDDED UP MEMORY FORM BITS MAKES THIS THE BEST PILLOW. IT STAYS FLUFFY AND BOUNCES BACK AFTER SLEEPING. MOST PILLOWS DEFLATE WITH AGE. THESE LAST AND CAN BE WASHED IN THE MACHINE

Still my favorite pillow after 12 years. Just bought another, despite the fact that the owner of the company is a complete lunatic, who I’d prefer not enrich. Fill is not quite as good as it used to be but still a good product. Let’s hope it holds up over time. Definitely put it in the dryer. If you don’t, it’s not near as great.
