Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows Queen/Standard Size Set of 2 - Down Pillow for Sleeping - Back, Stomach or Side Sleepers

It is just a syntactic pillow, not natural down.

The biggest deterrent for me on these was the price. Easily paid double what a run of the mill memory foam pillow would cost, and I wasn’t sure if this would be too firm for me as I have been using down pillows for years. I ordered these and their down feather counterparts thinking I would just send back the one I didn’t like, but ended up LOVING both. These shredded memory foam pillows came in a compact box with the pillows each individually vacuum sealed like compact sushi rolls. These are easily twice the weight of the down pillows of the same brand. Within the first 30 min of airing out, shaking, and squeezing to plump it up some it got about half way fluffed. The memory foam pieces felt pretty chunky and hard at this point and I honestly wasn’t sure I’d like sleeping on them - reminded me of cottage cheese in the tub. It took a full 24 hours to completely fluff up and the memory foam “lumps” are no more. I opened one pillow to try out then after I knew I was going to keep them I opened the second one two days later. There is definitely a distinctive smell to the memory foam, and after a week the smell is noticeably less on the first pillow I opened and a little bit stronger on the second pillow. My guess is that it will likely take at least a week or two for the smell to completely dissipate. I will write an update to speak to that at a later time. These shredded memory foam pillows are high quality. I would consider this medium firmness with good overall support in all the right places. My memory foam pillow was a contour pillow, and I wasn’t sure if this type of pillow shape was going to cut it, but somehow the shredded memory foam works. I am a back, side, and stomach sleeper, mostly sleeping on my back and side. These pillows so far are excellent for side sleeping and seem like they are comfortable for back sleeping as well although I haven’t tried sleeping on my back a full night with them yet. They do give excellent support on either side as bolsters if you are a side sleeper and like to hug things or prop, your arm up or have some thing against your back. Seriously thought I was going to return these because I am a down pillow person for life. But in my opinion, it is good to have options for the times when you want a little bit more support than what a pillow can offer. Only downside is the price over other pillows. That being said, I expect that these are going to last a very, very, very long time and are therefore worth the investment. Buy with confidence! These are amazing!!!

Great pillows no matter how you sleep

Plump, solid, excellent pillows.

This product is advertised as made in USA. The tags on the pillow say made in CHINA! Very disappointed! I will return them.

I was hesitant because of some of the reviews but I really needed a good pillow so I gave this one a try. They're great! Both my husband and I love them. I do wish I would have chose a medium rather than my usual choice of less filling but it's not a deal breaker. I wanted to mention that I have been fluffing the pillows up when I make the bed. This is suggested and does make a difference.
