nice but bulky4
i bought this to take on my 3 week trip to europe, it is nice and comfortable. my only complaint is that it is a bit bulky and does not compact at all (thats because it is filled with buckwheat hulls). i will not take it on a trip when space is limited again. for a road trip or a shorter vacation, this would be fine.

wonderful neck and back saving pillow5
I have lived with the Bucky pillow for many years and think very highly of them. I don't sleep without it and carry it with me every time I leave home. I have had back surgery and this Bucky Pillow holds the neck part of my spine and works from side to side as well as on my back. I was so thrilled to find them on your site. I have given them to my friends and they are all thrilled with them. I have tried many pillows and none of them are as satisfactory as the Bucky.
Thank you, Bridgebaroness

Comfortable neck support5
I fly a lot including transatlantic flights. I won't fly without my Bucky pillow. It is very comfortable, molds to the shape I want, and doesn't take up too much space.

Customer Reviews

Ought to be a standard feature in every new car.5
This silly looking little pillow is wonderful. It holds the head of a napping passenger at just the right angle to snooze, while keeping the neck from getting stiff and hurting when the person wakes up. I started buying these kinds of "donut with a bite missing" pillows about twenty years ago, and got some very strange looks when I used the pillows on long plane flights. Now I see that many travel warriors carry them, and that they are becoming common on long car trips as well. That's terrific.

This particular pillow is very comfortable, with lightweight foam beads inside a thin covering. The covering allows the beads to shift when the user moves their head slightly, so it will be more comfortable than a pillow that doesn't give. Also, the foam beads are much, much lighter than the solid memory foam or buckwheat hulls that I have found in other such pillows. It doesn't feel much heavier than an inflatable pillow, and is much nicer than one, because the foam beads don't make the crinkling noise associated with a plastic inflatable pillow.

The downside is that the thin cloth covering, which allows the beads to move freely, doesn't look very durable. If given to a young child, I would bet that the back seat of the car would be full of foam beads in about three seconds. Happily, I am not a young child, and have used this very comfortable pillow for many months with no problems whatsoever. It comes with a vinyl case, in which I store the pillow when not in use, avoiding the tears and damage associated with being thrown in the trunk. Otherwise, it gets no gentle treatment from me. If it does begin to tear, I plan to put the whole pillow in a nylon stocking as a quick/cheap repair, so I won't get little balls of foam all over my car. But for now, I'll enjoy the pillow for allowing me to snooze the miles away when it's my husband's turn to drive.


For long trips, this is a lifesaver!5
A very long over seas trip, economy class, YIKES! This neck pillow was awesome. Much softer and more comfortable than the blow ups. Well worth the money!

Great body pillow!5
I am 24 weeks pregnant, and I own this pillow. Before buying it, I was attempting to "make-do" with other pillows I had around the house, and I was waking up multiple times per night, adjusting them back into place. The Boppy pillow has been wonderful. It conforms to my curled-up body, helps me sleep better on my side, and provides great comfort. The pillow is seamed so that the filling doesn't shift around and form lumps during the night. Most importantly, I have been able to sleep through the night peacefully. It was well worth the money. My only complaints are (1) I have to completely flip the pillow over if I want to change sides during the night, and (2) my husband complains that I take up too much of the bed now. I say, too bad for him. :)

Wonderful Pillows at a Unbelievable Price!5
I bought these pillows as alittle additional decor for in my daughter's new Tinkerbell room, but these are so multi-functional! I end up half falling asleep on them when we read bedtime stories at night! I LOVE the way they feel.........oh and they look FABULOUS too! Seriously, if they made a bedtime pillow like these, I would buy it in a heartbeat! They really are a great add on to the Tinkerbell room and there is no way you can beat the price on them! Decorative pillows for our bedroom were double the price for just one pillow! I was EXTREMELY happy with this purchase, but most of all, my daughter loves them!

Perfect pillow5
My 3 year old daughter loves this pillow. It the perfect size for her to cuddle with or lay on.
I love how bright the colors are and I can easily spot clean it with a baby wipe when I need to.

3 year old is happy with it5
Used at Montessori preschool for Naptime. Our child loves the fact it is very soft and has Tinkerbell! I just hope he doesn't get too much ridicule before he grows out of it ;-)

Customer Reviews

Pinzon Feather and Down Pillows are terrific!5
I really like these pillows and have ordered four of them for my couch. I started out with just two and bought them because they are machine washable, then decided I wanted two more. They are comfortable and easy to wash....I'd surely recommend them!

Great Pillows - Fit European Sham perfectly5
I purchased these pillows for our European Shams I purchased for our bedroom set. They are wonderful, and comfortable to use. I highly recommend them.

I love these ...5
I purchased two of the European Sham size (26" square) to fill some decorative shams for my master bedroom. They work just fine, and very nicely fill out the shams. The description says "pillow insert," and that's what I use them for: inserts for decorative pillows -- NOT for sleeping.

It sounds like the "fill-ability" of these might vary depending on what size you get, as some folks have complained about "skimpiness." All I can say is, in the large 26" square size, these are absolutely perfect: nice and puffy, a nice tight fit inside the sham. They look great, and provide a nice amount of back support, too.

I'm thinking of getting a couple more for my guest room. I'm very happy with them.

Hands-down the best neck support I've ever had!5
I suffer from two herniated cervical disks and it is very difficult for me to find a pillow that is just right, not too soft, not too firm, not too low, not too high... Over the years I have tried many, many memory foam pillows, amongst them the Dream Coil pillow, the Tempurpedic, Therapedic, you name it.

All worked somewhat but it seems that the main problem with most memory foam pillows is that they are too firm at first (especially in the winter when it is cold in the bedroom), then mold perfectly to a person's individual anatomy until the material gets too warm from the person's body heat and finally it does not provide perfect support anymore because it gets too soft and allows the head to sink in too far.

Because I was a the point yet again where I was changing out my various memory foam pillows several times a night in order to get comfortable, I was looking for just another pillow to try. Which in this case was the Iso-Cool pillow (the contoured model).

What a find! This is a truly different pillow. For me who sleeps mainly on her side and sometimes awakes on her back, it strikes the perfect balance between support and softness. I simply love it. It does not feel too firm in the beginning, just supportive, and it does not end up being too soft during the night, it simply remains exactly the same. That it doesn't overheat is another perfect feature but I admit I did not buy this pillow primarily for that although it is advertised as a "stays-cool-pillow".

I am very impressed with this pillow and can highly, highly recommend it to anyone suffering from the same condition as I am.

Of course I know from experience that these pillows come on the market and also disappear from it quickly, so I've already bought a second one and will get a few more. Just in case it will wear out one day. Because I want to avoid having to hunt down the overstocks all over the web as I had to do with the Dream Coil pillow a few years back...

UPDATE: I just received my additional Iso-Cool contour pillows. Contrary to the one I had recently bought at JC Penny's, these Amazon-sold ones come without the retail box and a thinner, considerably more basic pillow cover. The pillow cover from Penny's is the nicer one. The one I received from Amazon does not have blue or for that matter any piping, no stitched Iso-Cool logo, quite a bit thinner fabric.

But otherwise they seem to be made of the same material and have the same 15-yr. warranty. Just thought I'd mention that these differ a bit from other Iso-Cool pillows available out there...

UPDATE II:
In September 09 someone commented on my review here saying that Amazon now ships the pillow with the Iso-Cool cover as pictured. That's great - it's a much nicer cover than what I got from Amazon when I first posted this review.

Cool and keeps its shape!5
I have been using this pillow since last Fall and it's worked great. It regulates according to your body temperature so you never feel hot when sleeping. My house gets really warm and having this pillow allows me to sleep and not wake up in middle the night. Plus, I'm really hard on my pillows and this one has really kept its shape over the months.

Finally..........5
I cannot stand warm pillow in the middle of the night. I have been searching for the last 10+ years. I even bought a pillow last year, mail ordered from Japan which they claim they have this "so called" heat transfer gel on the pillow, which cost me $120 and doesn't do ANYTHING. (lesson...)

So, I came across this Iso-Cool pillow on Amazon, I got the Contour version... I was VERY skeptical in the beginning... but once I sleep on it for the first night, I totally LOVE it.

1. It KEEP MY HEAD COOL, still warms up where the head contacts, but it DOES NOT warms up to a degree that annoys me (unlike one of the "original" memory form pillow which sold for $99+)
2. IT DOES NOT SINK. Again, unlike one of those "original" memory form pillow, this one give VERY GOOD support, and it does not make my head "sink" into the pillow.
3. I bought that kind of "water filling" pillow insert twice, and both of the time it leak after a year use. YES, it can keep my head cool, but still, the WHOLE insert will warm up after like 5-6 hours. This Iso-Cool does not keep on warming up during long hour of sleep, seems like it will stop warming up, up to certain temperature. THE BEST PART, IT WON'T LEAK.... (it is just a big block of form)

It DOES smell a little bit, like some new car/chemical smell to me when I first opened it from the package, but the smell dies down quick. Like the comment from the other user said, if the smell annoys you, I recommend to let it sit in open air for maybe a few days before you use it. For me, I just used right from the packaging.

BUT, even it sounds so amazing, but PLEASE, if possible, like myself, get one and try it out from a local store first, since NO ONE has the same preferences.
To me, this IS the pillow I was looking for, finally!

Love it5
I was horrified when this pillow arrive flat as a pancake that had been rolled. Once we got it out of it's airtight packaging it took on a new life. It's really a great pillow. I bought it for my husband who has been through multiple pillows in the past few years without finding one he likes. His biggest problem with this pillow is that I take it from him. So... we will be purchasing another soon.

Customer Reviews

Very nice pillow protector4
I was skeptical about buying these pillow protector covers sight-unseen as I was concerned they would be "plastic-y" and it would be noisy and unpleasant to sleep on them. In contrast, they are made of a very soft and flexible fabric and not noisy at all. The surface is velveteen-like, the zipper stitching is small and uniform and overall they seem to be a high quality product. The size is more than adequate to cover a large bed pillow. I did not give this product 5 stars as 1) I can't really tell if they have reduced my allergies (mild) 2) I have not tested whether they are indeed waterproof and 3) I haven't washed them enough to know how they hold up after several washes. Assuming they indeed prevent dust mites and bacteria from breeding and are waterproof and long-lasting, I recommend this product.

keeps my neck drier every night, but use in moderation5
Due to the fact that I sweat a lot in my neck at night without a waterproof pillow covering, I bought this covering for all of my pillows. It's OK. It keeps my neck and head completely dry every night.

I also use these on my childrens' pillows, since this product prevents any extra urine from filling up into the pillow itself, therefore making the real pillow-fibers themselves more "stuck-together". But please take note: this pillow protector can't be used with really tiny children, since it has a zipper to close it up, down the one side of the protector itself.

Organic Buckwheat Pillow - Travel/ Child Size (11" x 16")

Product Description

maker. Unfortunately for me, while living in this country I found it virtually impossible to find an authentic Japanese buckwheat pillow, so I decided to create and manufacture my own based on my own lifetime experience. I have been using buckwheat pillows just like the one I'm selling here, since I was a small child in Japan, and I can't sleep without it! I believe that once you try this pillow you will never sleep on a "regular" pillow again! No more tossing and turning all night long! You will feel the difference that buckwheat hulls make. These are the best Handmade Buckwheat Pillows. High QUALITY, designed, calculated and hand fabricated by genuine Japanese.

Customer Reviews

Great for traveling5
I took this pillow on a 3 week trip around India and slept like a baby everywhere. Indian beds are hard but their pillows are super large and unyeilding. Note: I took a little of the buckwheat husks out of the pillow to make it a little more flexible. Now I am using the same pillow on my own bed. I probably won't ever use any other pillow for my head.

good idea4
If one is looking for a natural pillow filler which has little or no chemicals and likes it to be very, very firm - as I do - this is the right one. The buckwheat has a sound to it as it moves around that is soothing to me. If you buy such a pillow just don't expect it to be like the pillows you know or you might be dissapointed.

I like the product. It might not have to be filled quiet that tight.

travel size means small4
quality product. the size means exactly what it says. travel/child size. too small 4 me. i had to invest in japanese size/small. (one size larger) japanese size is perfect 4 me. consider size carefully before purchase in order to avoid costly & nuisance returns. good company, quality product.

Great buy, well worth it!5
This is a much better find than anything I could have found at a department store or Target/Wal-Mart. The cases are a good thickness -- they protect the pillows but don't make them stiff. They zip up and the zipper doesn't bunch or catch. I've seen more poorly-made ones sell for more. Definite repurchase!

Just What the Doctor Ordered5
I have had some trouble sleeping , (waking up every day with a blinding headache), and my doctor reccomended that I get new pillows, as part of an ongoing approach. These have helped tremendously, plus they are nice and fluffy, with good support for your neck. I highly reccomend them.

Homedics Memory Foam Travel Pillow (rectangular) +Cover & Case ~~~ Great Value!5
We needed an AFFORDABLE rectangular shaped memory foam travel pillow that included a fitted pillowcase and a travel cover. We have been traveling with this one for 3 months and feel it was definitely a great value and a wonderful travel pillow!

You can tell by the density that it is not the same as our TempurPedic brand items BUT it also doesn't carry their hefty price tag either, so if it gets lost somewhere in our travels it won't sting the wallet too much for a replacement.

These are the items included in the box:
1 rectangular memory foam travel pillow
1 white velour pillow case (zipper closure, removable & machine washable)
1 black nylon travel cover (zipper closure/machine washable)

The travel cover requires you to roll the pillow up like a Hostess Ho-Ho and insert it into the cover (which is also shaped like a Hostess Ho-Ho) then zip up the cover. It takes a little practice but is worth the effort to save space while traveling since we keep it in our carry-on bag.

FYI: We use this pillow for lower back lumbar support for on the plane and as an extra pillow for comfort at the hotel.


Travel pillow for cheap4
After a recent trip I was in the market for a small tavel pillow. Since our bed/pillows are tempurpedic I wanted a similar material in a travel pillow. These run about $70+ at the airport. I purchased 2 for less than half that price here on amazon after shopping around. We have not yet taken them on a trip but they have found a permanent home on the couch where a full sized pillow might be too much. The only downside is finding pillow cases for a smaller than average pillow. It really should come with some sort of washable case. Other than that I'm extremely satisfied with the quality and comfort of these pillows. Would recommend for anyone looking for a smaller than full sized pillow.

Customer Reviews

Unbelievable5
This pillow is firm, but not hard. It is exactly what I needed since I have constant neck pain. The material is super soft and not the cheap material I would expect from such a low price. If you have neck pain, this is definately the pillow you want. Most side sleepers will benefit from this because side sleepers tend to have problems with neck pain. I use this during the day sitting in my office chair, so when I lean back it is a comfortable fit. Sometimes I use it when I sleep at night and wake up without neck pain. I like that it is not too soft because it would not give me the support I need if it was. It is not hard, only firm, but after a few weeks it will soften up a little. The material is elegant and high-quality. I would definately pay more money for this pillow, so it is a great value at under $15.00.

Pretty good travelling pillow4
I recently went on a 15 hour flight with this pillow. It was supportive without being a rock, yet firm enough so that my head didn't feel like my neck was the sole support. My mom had another massaging pillow that was as hard as a rock. She "borrowed" my Ortho Therapy pillow and never gave it back for the flight duration (though she did make sure that I carried it off the plane, not her.) It's a pretty comfortable pillow and it'll be going on another flight with me in the future.

My new best friend!5
I am now almost 5 months pregnant and was waking up every morning with back pain and hip pain from not sleeping comfortably. I tried a regular pillow between my legs, but found it was not enough support. I then saw this pillow in Babies R Us and bought it. I LOVE it! I love how it's all in one, a pillow to support my belly and for in between my legs to keep my hips aligned. I like the softness of the pillow and it's not too big and offensive that it kicks my husband out of bed. It's easy to roll with me from side to side in the middle of the night and now I also use it to sit up in bed at night when I read.

I think this is a great product especially considering it is cheaper then some of the other products on the market and it provides support right where I need it so I don't need 5 different pillows or wedges to support me and my growing belly. I definitely recommend it to anyone!

Great little pillow5
This is a great little pillow. I bought them as part of Amazon's 4-for-3 promotion since my family and I are going on a road trip soon, and I thought they might be nice to have. While they are certainly good for just putting behind your neck (and these actually DO keep your head propped when you go to the side), I actually found them great for sticking vertically down your back between your shoulder blades. They help with posture and the end holds your head when you lean back. They are a lot easier than sticking a roll of towels between your back and the seat. My mom has back problems, and she absolutely loved this. Highly recommended.

Rest your head4
The DogBones NeckBones Chiropractic Neck Pillow fits us to a tee. It is great in bed, a plane or in the car. Soft and breathable.
We gave these out for Christmas to all our kids.

Fit For A King!5

The Organic Aromatherapy Buckwheat Pillow might be labeled Queen Size but it is fit for a King! The pillow is a bit small when compared to a regular queen size but the benefit of using it to get a good night's rest is 'HUGE'! My husband, aka 'The Boss' and 'King of the Castle', says there is no doubt about it, using his Organic Aromatherapy Buckwheat Pillow - Size (14" x 20") helped him attain his first good night's sleep in weeks. He awoke without experiencing the usual severity of pain in his neck and shoulder area. As a bonus, I found it lessened his snoring.
I am ordering this one for him to use at home while the other pillow will be kept at our cabin. This is an excellent high quality product and was received very quickly. The saying, 'You can't put a price on a good night's sleep' was not true in this case! ~ Mrs B. (The Boss :) agrees!)

Ultimate pillow5
This is the second pillow I've ordered. I ordered the first one a few years ago and it's still like new. I had to order another one because my fiance kept stealing mine! We even take them with us when we go on trips! We love them!

Hey! The weird shape works!5
I really hate the conventional neck pillows and I wasn't about to spend $70 on a full neck ring thing so I tried this pillow out on a trip to China. It looks strange but it blows up easily and works quite well. It can be reversed for either side of the head (just remember to push in the spout). I carried it around everywhere. Great Job Mr. Steves (or company)!

Almost Perfect4
This pillow is really comfy and the head rest part is genius. I was concerned about getting an inflatable pillow because the edges are often rough and rub your neck raw. That is not the case with this pillow. Once it's inflated, the pillow is awesome. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars, though, is because I had a heck of a time getting it inflated. I had to pinch the valve in a really particular way and blow really hard to get air to go in, so I wouldn't recommend this for someone with breathing problems or weak hands unless you have someone else that can inflate the pillow for you. Otherwise, a really excellent product.

Comfy5
I was a little worried with durability after reading other reviews already posted but, I've found nothing worrying so far.

I love the nice color...it's a crisp green that reminds me of the little tree frogs we have around here--and it's a cozy cover. I also really like the simple design for inflation and deflation. You blow it up with about 4 deep breaths and then if it's too hard/full then you gently push the little plastic flap to deflate the pillow. It'll take you about 4 uses before you figure out the exact amount of air you need for a comfy neck.

The only disappointment I can find is the size of the pillow when it's totally deflated. It is a little bulky with the cover left on, and would take up about the space of a regular sized paperback novel in your carry on. So, you can always take the cover off when packing and then put it back on when you're ready to use it. I've used it to support my neck while reading in bed and was so comfy I fell asleep about 10 words in.

Great to Sleep With5
I bought this for my special someone, and she loves it. She has regular back and neck pain, and had struggled in the past to find a good pillow.

She had used down, cotton, firm, soft, and even put a rolled towel in the bottom of the pillowcase to provide support, but not until she used this pillow did she truly find comfort.

So, people seem to like the Pro/Con breakdown; here's mine:

Pros:
- Comfortable support for your head and neck
- Good quality cover, and fits easily into current pillowcases
- Two different-sized "contours" (small/large) to fit any size neck
- Great weight for pillowfights

Cons:
- Only one pillow (too small to share comfortably)
- Makes current pillows seem weak, awkward, and generally lame
- Devastating to lamps during pillowfights

I would recommend buying two of these pillows - so far, only buying one has been my only regret.

Very comfortable5
I love this pillow and it seems to have helped with my neck problems. I sleep on my stomach and side and am still able to sleep comfortable with it.

helps with neck problems4
I am been using this pillow for 8 months now and am very happy with it. It gives great support and is really comfortable. It really helped my neck and back aches I have had for years.

I am a bigger broad shouldered guy and I had to put a 1" stiff foam riser under the pillow because my neck is far away as is. On my back I it felt great but I sleep on my side, the 1" rise of it really did the trick. I have tried other contour pillows and have experienced the same issues with them being too low for good neck position.

It's a Great pillow for me!

Cool Little Pillow5
This is a great little pillow. It is very firm but softens up with the heat of your body. I have had cronic neck pain and this really helps. It is also a nice size for travel.

Note: If you are looking for a soft squishy pillow, this is NOT it.

Update: After 6 weeks of use, my neck & legs seem to fight over this pillow - I can't decide which feels better. I am on here ordering another right now.

Fabulous Pillow! 5
I love this pillow. I have chronic severe neck pain and this pillow helps a ton. I just ordered another one for my vacation home so I wouldn't have to pack it back and forth. Well worth the money! A bargain for a fantastic pillow!

A bargain at any price5
I own several of these pillows and absolutely adore them. I have chronic back pain as a rule, and not only have these pillows helped me immensely for getting better sleep, but now that I am pregnant as well, they've proven every bit as useful for using instead of expensive and bulky pregnancy pillows. You can use these singly or in groups to really customize your support and comfort where you most need it. These are an eminently portable size, so I also keep one in the car to lean my head on during long family car trips. My only complaint about them is that you can't buy spare or replacement pillowcases for them, but the pillowcase that comes with it machine washes nicely and holds up pretty well. The foam is a comfy firmness-- not rock-hard and not insubstantial-- so it will work well in any number of applications. LOVE this product and would highly recommend-- a bargain at any price!
