YOUR MOON Soft Pillows Queen Size for Sleeping, Support Bed Pillows, Fluffy Down Alternative Pillow, Luxury Hotel Gel Pillows for Side Sleeping (White)

The pillow I have used for years is no longer available so I chose this one in queen size.1. Very soft and appreciated for my chronic migraines.2. Yes, a little crispy sounding, but better after being washed. ( more on that later)3. No odd smell…also appreciated!4. You can buy pillow cases but they are crazy expensive, so I took an old king size flat sheet and easily made some cases. If you sew regularly you can get 6 pillow cases from one sheet, if you’re new to sewing you can easily get 4. If you cut them at least 48” wide and 38” long they will fit nicely after doing a small rolled seam.5. My previous pillow came out of its case so I could wash it. This one has no zippers and the inside is stuffing not a covered pillow, so I tried washing it with some bath sheets for balance. It filled with water and became unbelievably heavy. The towels couldn’t balance it. I eventually had to pull it out and drain it in the tub assuming I would need to try a laundromat, however within a few hours it was light enough for my drain and spin cycle and it dried quickly in the dryer, and as stated above it lost some of its noise.I recommend pillow cases so you won’t have to wash the pillow often. Personally, I find it very comfortable.

This pillow is the perfect amount of firm)softness if that makes sense..it stays cool and supports my neck, it doesn't go down flat, I don't have to rotate it 100 times a night. Some people complain of the smell (I got the grey)...there was no smell to mine at all. There's the slight crinkle people talk about but that doesn't bother me. I put a pillowcase on it anyway .. I suggest using a larger pillowcase so you can have the full effect of the comfort. You won't get the full functionality of you shove the pillow into a small pillowcase..it's perfect for me.

Update 10/11/23: This has been thoroughly usurped by the Pineapple Moon Pillow. That one's not perfect (it lacks the flumph factor that a traditional goose down pillow has), but it's pretty dang close.Still get better curls with this one, though not sure why that is - less density, perhaps. The crinkle of the percale cotton is wearing off too. (All of you people who think it's plastic causing the crinkle...my friends, percale cotton's woven structure is what's causing that sound, you'll find it in high end cotton percale sheets. It's a sign of quality here, not some marker of cheap materials.)8/12/23: If you've got mixed levels of curly hair like I do, you've probably tried the plopping method and satin pillowcases and all the other tricks. I tend to wake up with better curls if I go to bed with my hair still wet, though I've never had results THIS GOOD before. I can't tell if it's the percale cotton material or the way it's constructed with valleys or even if it's the filling, but with and without an extra cotton pillowcase, going to sleep on this with still wet or damp hair has yielded the most clearly formed curls of my life short of using curlers!If you have fine curly hair that you struggle to coax into clearly defined curls like me, this might be your new holy grail. And this pillow's machine washable to boot!That said, it's not quite the right pillow for me as a side sleeper. I've long needed a new pillow as I frankly haven't liked the one I've been using since i got it on 2020, but didn't dislike it enough to spend more money on a replacement. I finally caved and bought 2, this one and the Sleep Restoration pillows (because a review on the Beckham pillows mentioned they were identical but cheaper, I used the same pillowcase set on each). I've been using both for a couple weeks each to make sure I've given them a solid try, instead of being turned off just simply because it's new and unfamiliar. Pillows are intensely personal and we all have different preferences that are informed by everything from the weight of our heads to the angle of our shoulders. That said, this pillow, while having the most amazing loft even without fluffing (and plenty when fluffed), somehow has very little supportive substance in it.That's not to say it's a bad pillow - this one lets your head sink in, instead of the sort of pressure = compression feeling that most non-luxury pillows on the market today have. I don't like the feeling of a memory foam pillow, and this delightfully feels like a Real Pillow.For me, though, it's not quite stuffed with as much filling would be needed to support my head and neck when I turn on my side. It's there, but it needs extra help from a bunched up corner of my blankets or my arm. If you have narrower shoulders this might work for you as a side sleeper pillow, whereas if you have broad shoulders like me you'll probably get that same uncomfortable stretch in the neck from insufficient support.But I liked how this felt so much that I bought their other Moon Pillow (the one with green piping and embroidered pineapple) to test out, since from the product images that one is 8 inches tall where this one is 6 inches tall. Hoping that 2 inch difference in starting loft translates into the support I need for side sleeping. Review will be added (and this one updated) once I've thoroughly tested that one. Hoping that one is The One, or can be combined with this one to make the perfect pillow stack.In the meantime, this feels amazing stacked at the top of a pile for reading or watching TV. And bunching up for side sleeping is doable, just a bit of a pain when I can't find quite grab the right amount of blanket material. But I will say I reach for this one more than my original too-firm pillow and the Sleep Restoration pillow despite it not being thick enough for me, if that tells you anything.

Love this pillow! I ordered the king set of 2.For the first time in a very long time, I am not waking up with a stiff neck or a headache. Just the right amount of fluff yet soft enough where it kind of surrounds your head and supports your neck. The only downside is they are quite thick which makes it a tight fit in the pillowcase and that does not allow for full softness. I wish they offered an oversized pillow case with them. I was able to find a slightly larger king case and it does allow for more softness but could be better.

Very comfortable, just the type of pillow I was looking for. Supportive but not lumpy, I sink into it so it doesn’t make my neck hurt.

pillows are just OK - just way too firm and high for me. I need something softer to cradle my head and these didn’t do it for me. I’ll put them in my guest bedroom closet to see if any guests like them.

I love these pillows!! I've bought more than one set already and their just perfect! Theyre good on their own, bo extra pillows needed. Theyre seem thick, but its very comfy, and i think its worth the price! Id definitely recommend these :)
