After testing this pillow for six months, we still use it every single night.

The breathable, hypoallergenic cover kept us cool throughout the night too.

Its not the best choice for people who like firm pillows.

We loved this really soft pillowit’s squishy, foldable, and perfect if you want flexibility.

After six months of testing, we still like this pillow and use it consistently.

Just keep in mind that its under-filled and best suited to those who dont prefer a firm pillow.

Some testers wished it were a little less lumpy.

In fact, it has exponentially improved our sleep quality.

It easily molded to our body in all sleeping positions.

Those who are used to memory foam pillows might miss the extra support.

The softness of the outer material felt more luxurious than any other pillow weve ever used before.

This pillow struck a good balance between firm and soft.

We wouldnt change anything about it.

We wish it had a little more of a cooling effect.

This pillow has been our primary pillow for six months now, and we sleep with it every night.

We love how comfortable it is and how well it works well for side sleepers.

It has the perfect fill toonot too firm and not as soft or fluffy as a typical down pillow.

The cooling technology is more effective without a pillowcase.

It works for all sleeping positions and is extremely comfortable, supportive, and breathable.

It is also great for all sleeping positions.
