Lux Decor Queen Size Bed Pillows Set of 2 - Cooling Hotel Quality Pillows for Sleeping, Gusseted Design for Back, Side & Stomach Sleepers (18x26, Blue)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn't expecting much from these pillows because they arrived in a flat box, very surprised 2 pillows fit in the small box. It was mostly vacuum sealed,and was flat & compressed out of box. It's very important to follow the instructions and shake vigorously for 5 minutes or put in dryer. I shook it for 3 minutes (arms got tired) , rotating the pillow, and it was sufficient . Be careful grabbing on to it as you shake it because the fabric is slippery feeling. It then says to leave it for 24-48 hrs for full expansion. If you rest it on its side and rotate it occasionally as you wait, it helps the expansion even more. The pillows expanded so much: very fluffy, but still dense, supportive, soft and malleable. It was very comfortable and fully supported the neck for back sleepers and ,with a quick flufff, it did the same for side sleeping. It had the right amount of fill and density, making it not too soft and not too firm. I did not have to constantly readjust the pillow throughout sleeping. They do not use foam filling but a premium polyester filling (100% virgin, hypoallergenic, polyester, free of chemicals and allergen). I love the gusset sides for function and comfort. The pillows have a microfiber cover. Microfiber is a durable fabric but light-weight. It's on the thinner side to keep it from being hot during warmer months). I did not find it hot and it is suppose to be breathable. It has no chemical smell, the fabric is durable, and the double stitchings are tight. The Queen size wasn't as long as I thought but because mine expanded so much, you would need a larger pillow case. These pillows are great, in the top of its class, and one of my favorite that I tried. I paid premium for (polyester-filled) department store brands that pales in comparison to these. These offer excellent quality, especially comfortable support. I highly recommend them.
