Preference for pillows and perception of pillow is a supremely subjective thing. So while reading through reviews about pillows may be helpful, it will ultimately come down to your personal experience with it. What I love, you may despise. What you love, I may detest. Exact same pillow but very different opinions. Doesn't mean someone is right, and someone is wrong; just depends on whether that particular item is right for someone's needs and preferences. I'm 5 starring this because it is my second set. I know what to expect and I like it. If I were nitpicking, I may go with 4 or 4.5. So here are my stats: --I am a side sleeper. I sleep with one arm under my head, so pillow is always between my angled up, folded arm and my large head. --I hate hot pillows. I hate hot sleeping. I want to be cool. I will use cooling pillow cases (helps not trap heat). -- I like medium firm pillows with some "give". I prefer to have one pillow of semi firmness that I use to support some of my head and a little bit of shoulder, then have another pillow that is more malleable to be under my face and rest of side of head. Kind of scrunched. --my shoulder tends to ache at some point, and my arm usually falls alseep. OK, so HOW does THIS pillow fit in? I use it as my top pillow. It DOES NOT TRAP HEAT, and it has a weird cloud like feel that always ALWAYS makes me go "ahhhhh", even as I flip over in the night. There is a weird level of comfort that this pillow provides. What is this sorcery? Downside-ish is that is IS soft. Lofty, but my head drops down into it a bit and the sides go up, especially if my arm isnt underneath it. But when my arm is underneath it.. mmm perfection. It is COMFORTABLE (to me). I dont use in while on my back reading or watching tv, or playing solitaire on my phone before sleep. I need a firmer pillow. But when I roll over to get into sleep position, it is like this gorgeous level of comfort. It just feels so nice. My shoulder doesnt ache as much, and my arm doesnt fall asleep as often. That all being said, this is not a FOREVER pillow. I do have to swap out after a period of time. It will eventually lose that cloud feel and just become a regular pillow. But its fine for several months easily. This is my second set, all mine. With the first set, I kept one and my husband used one. He may still be using his. I bought this current set recently on a whim. I forgot how blissful the pillow can be (I am not sure what happened to my pillow, perhaps my dog stole it), and am very happy to have a fresh one to use right now, and a spare for another point in time. I at least know that I LIKE this pillow, and even if I am buying it every year or so, it is better than trying out all sorts of other pillows and hating them. This may be something you love, or it may be the worst pillow ever. But it has good stitching, cleans up easily, does not trap heat like some pillows. So I think quality is there. As for rest (comfort, support) that will be up to your perception and your body and sleep style. Read more
This the second time I have ordered these pillows. The ones I have from 4 years ago are still nice. They are great pillows, lofty and soft yet supportive. I recommend them. Read more
These pillows instantly made my bed feel more like a hotel setup. They’re plush and airy with a soft, down-like feel that balances comfort and support really well. I love that they’re not too firm but also don’t collapse under your head—they hold their shape throughout the night, so I’m not constantly fluffing them or waking up with a flat pillow. The material is smooth and comfortable against the skin, and the Standard/Queen size fits perfectly into my pillowcases while still feeling substantial. For the price, the quality is impressive and definitely better than many higher-priced options I’ve tried. If you want a simple way to upgrade your sleep and add that hotel-style comfort at home, these are a great choice. Read more
Quite possibly the most comfortable pillows I’ve ever slept in. I read the reviews and saw the price tag and it gave me pause. But then I thought, it’s something you use nightly and how do you put a price tag on a good nights sleep? I’m usually the $10-15 pillow guy, I’ll admit it. Whatever is cheap, I’ll get. So I changed things up. I can’t believe the difference. I’ve had some of the best nights sleep in however long. I purchased 2 and have more firmer pillows up against these as these are so fluffy, I’d just sink. But, I’m wishing I had ordered these years ago .. I have chronic neck and back pain and this has been a huge huge help. Read more
OK, let's clear up a few things: 1) I am a real buyer, was not given this pillow, was not paid to review this pillow. There's no way I'm doing any of that. 2) I want everyone to know exactly what I'm giving an opinion on. This "Beckham Hotel" pillow is the very same as others called "Sleep Restoration Super Plush Gel-Fiber Filled Pillows". That's what the package the two pillows (costing $35 total) came in reads, and there's a small bar-coded sticker with tiny writing indicating the Beckham Hotel re-branding. 3) There's NO smell. There's NO mildew. They arrived factory clean and shipped in a nice, zipped plastic container bag. 4) They arrive dead flat. When you remove them, they start to fluff up. I'd say after an hour or so they are ready to use. Fluff them a bit, and you can sleep on them right away. It's not necessary to put them in a dryer and in fact it could be detrimental. Not sure. 5) I waited a month to write this because I wanted to be sure I liked the pillows. I do! 6) I had some doubts at first because I thought they'd be too soft, but after a couple of nights I would now describe them as soft, yet firm enough to support my head and neck correctly. I start out sleeping on my side and of course, at some point end up on my back, and then often back on my side. 7) They're heavy enough to no move around, but not heavy like a (solid) memory foam pillow is. They stay put in other words. 8) I purchased the queen sized ones. Now, it was sort of interesting to me that these are 20 inches wide, and yet a queen size pillowcase is also 20 inches wide. Yet, a pillow is quite high and a pillowcase is of course - flat. This means it requires some effort to squeeze the pillow into the pillowcase. BUT, perhaps this makes the pillow seem a bit firmer than my initial impression of it was in paragraph #6. At any rate, it works and these have worked out well for me. 9) I woke up in a hotel about 4 years ago with neck pain and had it ever since. All sorts of chiropractic efforts, daily neck stretches, painkillers, etc. just didn't seem to get rid of it. I ditched my Tempur-Pedic s-shaped solid memory foam pillow and tried several other pillows I got locally. They all went back. I got these pillows, continued on the daily neck stretches and now I'm feeling fine with no more neck pain. I noticed about a week ago I was waking up with no more neck pain. That's a relief. That's about all I can tell you Amazon shoppers. Buying a pillow is a wilderness of choice. I spent a LOT of hours on here looking. And of course pillows, and the comfort of them, is very personal and subjective. I can only say, for me, these worked out. If they don't for you, I assume you can return them, possibly with some shipping cost. I don't know. I'm not a regular Customer and not a Prime member. Best of luck finding yours! -MSW Read more
