Excellent product!5
We bought two of these for watching TV in bed and are very pleased. They are attractive, well made, and are perfectly sized and shaped for the task.

Bones to Support My Bones!5
This is a great supportive pillow, designed to support the head, neck and back areas when lying down or sitting. Having good results with the smaller "dog bones" to support sore neck and shoulders, I was anxious to find something to relieve the discomfort in bed/avoid always propping myself up with my elbow when watching t.v. This does the trick. It is so supportive, you can actually lie all the way down and this supports your shoulders and neck so you can watch t.v. without straining. I will warn you this is huge (check the measurements) and won't fit in a washing machine. Spot clean only.

Great Product5
Just received this product as a surprise from my husband and I LOVE it. It is much more comfortable than I thought it would be. Yes, it is large, but quite supportive. It's not too soft or too hard. Would recommend this to anyone that would like to be more comfortable when reading or watching television in bed. Thanks Amazon!!!

Customer Reviews

Great bargain!4
I can only report on these pillows based on first testing -- our trip is not for two more months. But having traveled a lot and tried these pillow at home, I'm happy to recommend THIS particular set for two reasons: 1) it's comfortable and 2) the low cost.

I read a number of reviews of various travel pillows (especially the inflatible ones) and was put off primarily because of the short life they seem to have for the rather high cost. This pillow set is 2 for $9.95 -- it's too bad Amazon no longer has them in stock at the time of this review. For $5 each, I was happy to try it. Having received it, I found them to be as comfortable as any lined plastic product could be expected. There is a thin "plush" surface (not just cold plastic) and a "cuff" around the neck that protects from the plastic seams. My wife also tried them and found them comfortable. As with any other inflatable pillow, don't over-inflate. You want your head to nestle and be supported side-to-side. The size was fine for my 16 1/2" neck and I could also wrap both hands inside next to my neck so it will handle larger sizes. My wife's neck is much smaller, but she has not trouble.

As I say, I can't speak to longevity or use for hours in a plane. If Amazon has restocked in late April, I'll add further comments.

Dogbones5
Love this neck pillow. Use it when watching television, it is so comforting. I'm even taking it on vacation with me>

GREAT5
Due to a medical condition I have to sleep in a lift chair recliner and I have tried other neck pillows and did not like them. Now I bought two of these and I just LOVE them. They are very comfortable and quite sturdy. I also like the idea that they are machine washable.

Great for airplanes5
This is the only pillow that I've found that helps me sleep on the airplane! I've found it a bit bulky to stuff in my carry-on, though it's worth it for overnight trips.

I'm back for more!5
I purchased this pillow about 6 months ago and absolutely love it. Due to health problems, I spend 18-20 hours a day in bed and having a comfortable bed is not a luxury but a necessity for me.

I'm back to order a few more because I have to cushion my knees by putting a pillow between them and one night I decided to try my Simmons Memory Foam pillow. It was the perfect cushioning for them and the soft cover felt so good! But then I was left not having the pillow to sleep on. I have an old neck injury and the pillow I use determines whether or not I sleep well.

My husband discovered the pillow not too long ago and really liked sleeping on it. That left me feeling very guilty because I let him use it.

And then there's our dogs...We have a pile of pillows on our bed but somehow they find this pillow and become very stubborn when I try to get them off of it.

I figure ordering another 3-4 of these should take care of all who enjoy it so much.

Thanks Simmons for making such a wonderful pillow!

Very comfortable4
I slept on my stomach for much of my life, but in the last year, noticed an increased number of nights sleeping on my back. Along the way, I've lost sleep and gained more headaches. Someone suggested that I find a better pillow. When I saw this memory form pillow on Amazon, and on sale, I decided to try it out. When I received it, I was instantly happy with it. Having used it for a couple of weeks now, I've enjoyed better sleep, and probably as a result, less headaches.

The only negative aspect I've experienced with this pillow is when I sleep on my stomach. I find the back of my neck a little achy having slept on a pillow much higher than my old, nearly flat pillow. Overall, this is a good pillow, and I'd recommend it, especially if you sleep mostly on your back, and not on your stomach.

The price gone up5
This pillow is very comfortable and gives support for your neck and head. It is good for everyone who sleeps on side, on back or on stomach. I got the pillow for myself, used it for 3 months and gave it to my dad when he visited. He said his woke up with no headache unlike he normally does. However at the time of purchase, I paid $[...] and now it is more expensive. So I got a Novaform memory foam pillow from Costco for $[...]. Good deal. I love it.

Terrific!5
I ordered three chenille pillows from this seller, and love them all. Don't be mislead by the word "chenille." These aren't fluffy and do not look like they belong in a bedroom. The colors are wonderful and blend with almost anything. And the fabric is remarkably cat-proof! The seller shipped these out quickly and they have been living on my sofa since I received them. I'm very happy with my purchase!

Perfect5
The pillow is exactly as it was described and as I expected it to be. It is of superior quality. You will not be diappointed with your purchase.

Good, quality product5
The pillows arrived much sooner than expected. There are beautiful and make a wonderful decorating accent.

GREAT!5
I got two sets.. each for 14.99....what a bargain! All of these are life-size (except for the baseball which is quite larger than a regular baseball) They come is a nice cotton mesh bag....high quality items and as a bonus....they are machine washable! Very pleased with purchase! My sons will love them!!

Adding Sports flair to a bedroom!4
I was extremely pleased with this purchase. In remodeling my two sons bedroom with a sports theme, I was looking for items to add character to the room. The pillows did not disappoint. They are durable and fun. I'd already purchased pillows from Target which I did like, however they were made of nylon and only useful for decorating as they would easily snag. This purchase is great for decorum and play. You might want to order 2 sets.
Great item and great price!

Absolutely Adorable5
As with all products by Melissa and Doug, these pillows are wonderful. I ordered them for my grandson for Christmas and he loves playing with them. When he takes a nap, they are all piled up on the bed with him, very cute. All the pillows are pretty much life size, except the soft ball which is somewhat larger than a real softball. I really recommend these pillows for all your little sports fans.

Customer Reviews

Valued by insomniacs and geese everywhere5
I read on an allergy web site that if you own a pillow for 3 years, something like one third of it's weight is no longer pillow but dead dust mites and their excrement. That's enough to keep you up at nights. But while the lowly pillow is one of the most important keys to sleeping well, finding the right replacement for you is a personal matter and no one product will appeal to everyone. Buying one sight unseen, or unfelt, seems a little risky. I love having real down pillows, but my biggest complaint besides the sometimes mind numbing prices for a firm quality fill is the fact that they can make your head feel like a baked potato from all the heat they retain and it's hard to find one that feels sufficiently firm, if that's what you like as I do. These pillows were highly rated on every review I could find so I sent for some king sized ones here on Amazon who had the best prices, and of course the great return policy in case they were a disappointment. I found them to be well constructed with gusseted ends and surprisingly like my goose down pillows in their softness and comfort but with the feel of just right firmness, at least for my taste. They don't have the head baking heat retention of down so are comfortable, firm and cool. In short, I'm completely satisfied with everything about these pillows and would highly recommend them.

Too soft3
Nice pillows, they don't mat down or get hard but they are not nearly firm enough to be called FIRM!

as advertised5
My husband wanted a 'firm' pillow. I got this one. He says it is too firm. Must be a firm pillow.

Customer Reviews

Untrue listing, but nice pillow3
The pillow does NOT have organic cotton fill. It specifically states on the package (when I received it), that the cover is organic cotton, but the fill is natural cotton (big difference to some). If this is important to you, then I wouldn't suggest buying the pillow. The pillow is very firm, but I really like that about it. It doesn't go completely flat when you lay your head on it. Occasionally I have to flip the pillow over because it gets a little stiff in spots if you don't flip it regularly. I do love the pillow, but I gave it 3 stars because the listing is untrue.

Organic Deos not Equal Comfort3
There is no doubt that these Organic pillows are decent quality. And it's great to find them on Amazon, however if you like a cushy pillow that your head can sink into, these aren't that. They are ultra firm, so if that's your preference, you will be dreamily satisfied. They are puffy and soft, but very firm.

These pillows are IT!!!5
I have chronic neck and back pain. I do nothing but whine and complain when I get up because everything hurts after laying down.

I bought two neck pillows over a week ago and have had some really promising results with them. I am not as achy as I used to be. I am not saying these things will cure it. They are just a really great aide. They are more flexible to the position you want to lay/sleep in but also hold the position you want once you are comfortable. As stated above my only complaint is you can't wash them.

I am becoming addicted to these pillows BIG TIME. I went and found a ball shaped one yesterday for when I want to sit up and read.....LOVE IT.

All back and neck problem people - Try these what have you got to lose?

Impressive packaging4
I was looking for a replacement for the squish pillow I purchased from Brookstone, who doesn't seem to sell them any longer. The pillow isn't quite the quality of my original, but I am sure I will get used to it. There is always an adjustment to a new pillow. The impressive part was the packaging. The pillows were very neatly wrapped in tissue paper and there was a hand written note inside. I will definitely look for more products sold by this company. They obviously care about their products. I hope Amazon will be able to sell these again.

Microbead squish pillow5
I ordered two of these squishy pillows, one for each of my kids for Easter. They are a huge hit with everyone in the household. They are the perfect size for them to take everywhere and they are so soft, squishy and extremely comfortable. The shipping was very quick and beautifully packaged. I left them wrapped in the tissue paper and the hand written note was an amazing addition!! I highly recommend care gifting and its products, either for personal use or a wonderfully personalized gift

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!!!!!5
I do not know if I can stress enough how much I LOVE this pillow. This is my fourth pregnancy and I have tried a lot of different products out there. With my third pregnancy, I even invested in one of those pregnancy blow up beds with the hole in the center for your belly and spent 5 months sleeping on the floor in front of my bed-ugh! Okay on to the Comfort-U total body pillow. What I love about it is it has just the right amount of firmness and softness to support your head, your legs, your belly or whatever you want to prop up or lay on. I do not need to use any other pillows with this while I am sleeping. I do use my regular pillow to prop me up more when I sit up and watch television, but do not need it to sleep. Let me say, I am a pillow snob-take my pillow with me on vacations, to visit family, etc...because I like a nice mushy pillow. This was my problem with the other body pillows; they were either too firm or too flat and I still had a fort of pillows in the bed. This pillow is just right. The pillow is big, so if you are in a bed smaller than a queen (I am in a king) you may find it too big for the bed if you share it with someone else. I must say I have caught my husband snuggling up against it, so it is large but it's soft and not intrusive. I was skeptical on spending the money for this, but boy am I glad I did. I read other reviews that said the same thing I am saying and I am so happy I listened. This pillow is really great.

Kind of expensive for a pillow but it does help! 4
I'm 7 months pregnant and from reading books, they said it is best for me to lie on my sides, but I'm so used to sleep on my back that most of the times I woke up found myself in my normal position instead of on one of the sides so i was looking for a pillow that not only helps me to sleep on my side but also provide support for my legs. When I saw the picture of this pillow I said this is perfect for me so I bought it. I didn't know this already comes with the pillow case cover so I did ordered an extra one which I might have to return. The first night I used the pillow, it felt uncomfortable at first because it is big, takes up almost half of the bed!, and bulky. Also, getting in and out of bed was a little hard. However by the second nights and on... I slept like a baby and I actually slept on my sides!!! Just remember to put the pillow case on with the zipper facing out and not facing your body, and just flip up one of the pillow sides when you need to get out of bed.

Best pillow ever!5
Well worth it, should have bought it sooner, makes it easier to sleep on your sides comfortably even if you are a back sleeper, can mold into any position. I got it after not sleeping through the night and leg cramps and back pain, now I can sleep through the night. Well worth the price! Is a little tight in a queen size bed, but wonderful in a king size! A good way to test if it is right for you is to take a whole bunch of pillows and line them up in the U shape and sleep in as picture shows, you will notice a difference and the pillow is even more supportive.

Customer Reviews

Very good inexpensive alternative to body pillow - keep a couple of regular pillows on hand too. 4
I bought this pillow around 18 weeks because I didn't like the inflexibility of body pillows (which always stay the same shape) or that reviewers complained that the stuffing in the big pillows shifts around inside.
I do like this wedge a lot and will not travel without it because it defeinately takes the weight off my back by pushing up my tummy. I reccomend having a couple of other pillows though, one behind the back (to keep you from rolling over on your back while you are asleep) one under your head and one or two between your legs. This ends up being alot of pillows but they are more flexible than the body pillows and a lot cheaper. I can also throw this in a suitcase or take it to the living room for a nap or watching television on the couch, which I couldn't do with a larger pregnancy pillow. It is also comfortable to sit on (as is the regular boppy pillow) if you are on the floor for some reason or sitting up in bed.

UPDATE - not so hot after about month 7 or 8. I think this was great in the beginning, but don't expect it to solve your pregnancy related discomfort for the entire pregnancy.

Wonderful!5
This cushion has to be the best deal out there in terms of pregnancy pillows - at least for women in their 3rd trimester. I paid a lot more mid-pregnancy for a big "Snoozer" body pillow that has been in storage for several months now. For several weeks before buying the Boppy, I was waking up repeatedly with a lot of lower back and hip pain even though I was using a regular pillow to support my belly. With Boppy, I'm now sleeping much better and with a lot less back pain. I just wish I had tried it earlier!

Excellent support for the tummy 5
A friend loaned this to me and I am so grateful. It's been wonderful to have the support under my belly so I feel less pull on my hips. My lower back hurts less now that I am using it. I highly recommend to anyone whose tummy has grown enough that she feels the pull on her hips when lying on her side.

Pillows are worth protecting and this product does just that5
I have been investing in better and better pillows for quite a few years now and I have learned that they are as important as your mattress. When a friend discovered that she had a bedbug problem she was embarassed, but hey, it happens. I have been using Protect-A-Bed covers on my pillows for over 5 years and have grown to trust them. It was important for her to have a set of pillow protectors as bugs and dust mites like to hide in pillows. The zippers on these covers are especially made to prevent the escape of begbugs (I HATE those litte guys!).

If you are spending fifty to a hundred dollars on your pillows (and a lot of people do) you might want to think about protecting them. It's not only the bugs that it protects you from, it also keeps your pillow clean and safe from dirt and grime. Well worth the cost.

Good for some, including me5
I have had a couple pillows of this sort. This one is perfect for me precisely because it is relatively soft and it isn't too thick. I am about 5 ft 8 in and 180 pounds, so not a huge man, but not small. I have knee problems and also a vascular malformation on one lower leg, as well as knobby knees. When I sleep on my side and my knees are together, I often have problems with lateral pressure on one knee, pressure between the knees causing blood stasis in the VM, or other problems. These are enough that I often have trouble sleeping or am awakened by pain. I sometimes sleep with a regular pillow between my legs, which has helped a lot, but it is very awkward under the covers. I tried a similar type of contour leg pillow that had much denser foam and was much thicker, but it was too dense and too thick -- my legs just didn't feel comfortable with it, though I slept a little better. So I was looking for a thinner, softer pillow, which this is.

The bottom line is that these sorts of things depend a lot on personal preference, the size of the individual, why you need a leg pillow, etc.
