Mainstays Memory Foam Standard Contour Pillow 3.8 5 119 146
WOW First of all I have never rated anything... EVER! but I feel the need to tell about this one!When I first felt this pillow, I thought ... "Oh no!"... Although It definitely had a memory foam feel, it was much softer than I expected. I thought to have support it would need to be so much firmer to the touch. Oh I was so wrong. That night I fell in love with my new pillow! It supported the neck area so well, I realised squeezing with your hand focuses on a pinch, and a really flat handed firm press was definitely not the same pressure as dispersed when sleeping!.... I woke up once (as I usually do) and I hadnt moved once from my original sleep position. Amazing! Initially I Wasnt sure which way to use the pillow. I realised that the way I thought would be more uncomfortable (larger side under neck sloping to lower) was IT! Ive always slept on a flat firm pillow, and got sooo used to it but also thinking it was better for my posture. Sorry old faithful, you are banished to fill the decorative sham pillow. Any doubts out there, DONT, just do it! Ps some complain about the smell. It doesnt bother me, I like the smell of new things and its already faded after one day. BUY it and sleep better than EVER before :) 01/08/2010
Hard or Soft - the answer I discovered that Walmart sells two types of memory foam pillows in the SAME packaging. A hard-as-rock version, and an extremely comfy version.My husband has been happily using a memory foam pillow for years, and I finally bought one for myself. Hard as a rock! I went back to choose a new pillow and discovered that some of them were much softer while others were rock hard. Yet they were in the exact same packaging! So before purchasing your pillow, give it a squeeze and compare it to its neighbors. If you chose the soft one you will be very happy for many years. If you accidentally chose the hard one, you'll know as soon as you put your head on it. 01/15/2010
Amazing Pillow Wow, I can't believe I have the same pillow as most of these reviewers. This pillow is great. It's not at all hard like these people described it. I got from a Wal-Mart store- and I'm glad I didn't see these reviews first, I wouldn't have gotten it. I love sleeping on it. I wake up in the morning with no neck pain. 01/05/2009
Right Firmness; Right Contour; and Right Size too! The firmness of this pillow exactly matches that of the memory foam pillows that come with TempurPedic brand mattresses; but these are much better, because they have a contour to them that allows you to choose your best fit (shallow side if you are a "back" sleeper, or deeper side if you are a "side" sleeper). Also, the manufacturer seems to have listened to the feedback about reported "smells", because there was NO SMELL ... And, finally, this pillow is smaller than a typical pillow (in fact, it is only 3/4 the size of a typical pillow; but this is very noticeable to many customers); BUT ... this means that you can TRAVEL with this pillow, and it WON'T TAKE UP TOO MUCH LUGGAGE SPACE! All of these characteristics make for a SUPERIOR memory foam pillow ... And, seriously, at this price ($12US versus $80US for the TempurPedic), it's a GREAT BARGAIN! 07/28/2011
