Great Pillows, But Made for Taller People
Clearly these pillows are high end, very well-made pillows that will last for, dare I say, decades, and they are supportive for the neck and spine... for some people. I got the set of two, one for myself and one for my husband. I am 5'4", about 165lbs, and he is 6'2" about 240lbs. So there is a big difference in size between us.
The pillows arrived in a very small but high quality box, each rolled separately, and I thought for sure that they would take a while to roll out, fluff up, and unwrinkle, the way our bed and other pillows did. But that wasn't the case at all. These pillows immediately fluffed up and were usable with not a single wrinkle (see photos). The silk gray cases that come with them were also in no way wrinkled and fit like a glove. They were a little difficult to situate for me (the cases) because they must go on a certain way (my husband wants me to tell y'all that he got it right the first time). It took me three tries. But once they were on, they looked beautiful and the pillows felt very soft with them on.
Now, that said, it was clear the moment I laid on it that it's made for someone taller, or rather, with a longer neck. When I lay on it, my head does not land on the center of the pillow where the bump is, where it's supposed to cradle my neck. My head instead lays directly on that bump, cocked up with my neck kinked. That's also because *I* am a side sleeper. Now if I lay on my back, my head lays a little more in the center. That is the only way this pillow slightly works for me. If you read the "instructions," it explains that there is a section for your head when you're laying on your back (the center dip) and a section for when you're on your side (the edges). Either way is too high for me. My neck isn't long enough. In order to get it into the correct position, I have to stretch it unnaturally. When I lay naturally, my neck is bent and kinked and hurts more in the morning than ever before.
The feel of it, putting aside its side and dimensions, is very soft to the touch but also quite firm at the same time. It's not the kind of memory foam that takes a while to bounce back. It's bounces back immediately. It's very springy.
The only way I can use this pillow is if I spin in around to keep the cervical support bump at the top and just lay over the flat portion, making it more like a regular pillow. It's still too high and stiff for me, but it's better.
Now for my husband (6'2"), this pillow works great! He's a back sleeper and it really supports his neck. And he does sometimes lay on his side, and apparently it's supports his neck then too. His neck is long enough to reach that edge section for side sleepers and the center supportive dip for back sleepers. He loves it! He says, his neck feels great in the morning and it's his new favorite pillow.
When I got this pillow set, it was listed at $340, and he said that it was not worth that price. But it is now listed at $169, and he's saying that is a much more reasonable price. I personally wouldn't pay that, but that's because the pillow doesn't work for me. I stand by my statement that these pillows are for taller people (or people with longer necks). But for him, he would pay it. I wish it worked for me. I'm a bit jealous, to tell you the truth.
