Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My guess is that a few of the "flat/lumpy, ect." reviews are from people who did not read the instructions (yes there are instructions) # 1 is that the pillow should be "fluffed" in the dryer before using the 1st time. These things are shipped totally compressed, and I was very disappointed when I 1st unwrapped it. But I got it at a home show, and the guy asked lots of questions about how I sleep, stomach/back/side, and suggested the specific fill for me. He also said it's important to put in the dryer before using, and also suggested drying it 2 cycles after washing. I haven't washed it yet, but my husband swiped it from me the 1st night, and won't give it back! He told me to get 2 more... Only thing keeping the rating down is the price. They are pricy for the materials, but haven't found another pillow that is as comfortable... BTW this was not sold as a "stop snoring" pillow, but I was told it may "lessen" snoring due to relaxation of the nerves and muscles and not collapsing the throat which can contribute to snoring. Haven't notice a decrease, but I will say that he is sleeping about an hour more each night with this pillow. Also - the price at the home show was $69, and came with the travel pillow and bag. Now just have to wait for another one...
