The cold side really works. It's nice ;)
Size: King (2 Pack)
The soft side aspect of it is really awesome. We like the whole cold pillow thing but personally I feel like it keeps my head too high up so I wake up with a neck pain. But for someone who likes support, this would be a perfect option.

Perfect pillow
Size: Queen (2 pack)
Very comfortable! A light firmness yet you sink into the pillow perfectly. Keeps shape. Fluff right back up instantly when you leave it. Supports and the quality is great for the price.

Comfy but smelly
Size: King (2 Pack)
These expand quickly and are comfortable, but they smell like chemicals faintly.

Love these pillows!
Size: Queen (2 pack)
I’m a side and stomach sleeper. I’ve bought so many pillows recently trying to find one that doesn’t kill my neck or shoulder. I felt like I was looking for a unicorn. For some reason this pillow just works. It has a higher loft, which I prefer, but it’s also super squishy, which I also prefer. It somehow has the best of both worlds. They feel high quality, are adjustable in terms of density since you can remove as much filling as you want, they actually fill my pillowcases so they’re not flopping around the pillow, and they maintain their shape after a full night of sleeping on them, the price point for two pillows is just right, and best of all, they actually stay cool. I am a hot sleeper so that last point is worth the cost of entry all by itself. I have no neck or shoulder pain after getting a full night’s sleep on these pillows. The only negative is the initial smell of the pillows. It’s pretty strong, but I’m sure this will lessen over time.
