Comfort and Support

Pros:

  • "This is a real bathtub pillow, simple, easy to clean, comfy, and good suction."
  • "It’s very comfortable and very easy to clean."
  • "The soft, cushioned material provides excellent support for my head and neck."
  • "I love my baths and this makes them so much more enjoyable. Very comfortable and sturdy. Suction cups are really strong. You have to peel them away with your fingers."
  • "This pillow supports my head, neck and shoulders with a luxurious soft feeling, which allows me the pleasure to enjoy the soothing experience, of a truly relaxing warm soak."
  • "It’s not too rigid like some can be so it contours around your body."
  • "It feels like there is a good layer of thick foam inside, so when you lean on it you actually do feel cushioned."

Cons:

  • "However, you might as well not have anything behind your head. It’s hard and no supportive at all."
  • "It’s super uncomfortable at the bottom where the pillow ends. Your back no longer rests against anything."
  • "It’s like laying on a hard piece of plastic. No cushion at all."
  • "It’s really not as comfortable as I’d envisioned it basically feels like resting your head on the edge of the tub just elevated a little bit."
  • "Extremely uncomfortable. No support you might as will be laying on the back of your tub this was a disappointment from the second I open the package."
  • "Does not stick to tub, keeps slipping, plus it so stiff it doesn't mold to the back of your head and makes your neck kink forward."
  • "Not comfortable at all and very cheap feeling."

Suction and Stability

Pros:

  • "These are beautiful out of the package. The suction cups work great, and there are a bunch."
  • "Great suction on my tub/shower and right amount of cushion. Just take your time releasing each suction cup so you don’t tear it."
  • "It stays stuck on the tub when using, doesn’t move or come off."
  • "The suction cups are thick and strong, won't be falling off into the water."
  • "The suction cups keep it securely in place."
  • "The suction cups work best if you apply them before filling the bath with water but they work well regardless."
  • "This is the best sticking pillow I've found, and I've tried a lot!!"

Cons:

  • "Let me start off by say I never write reviews, but this thing is a waste of money."
  • "The 'gorilla strength' is just hilarious. This sucker slides around like crazy behind my back."
  • "You can put your drinks on it with the jets off. Suction cups useless on anything unless its glass smooth."
  • "It started to float and come off of the tub lining."
  • "One of the suction cups blew out first, then another, then it just started ripping apart. It lasted less than 2 months."
  • "The suction cups started falling out of the holes on the pillow, so the pillow wouldn't stay in position."
  • "The only issue I have with it is it slides when I start using things with soap like my body wash."

Durability and Maintenance

Pros:

  • "It makes it super easy to keep clean and free of mold."
  • "The Gorilla Grip spa pillow has a better design, and superior construction."
  • "I like that it has the plastic cover so I don’t have to worry about it sucking up water and starting to stink."
  • "The material its made from makes it easy to dry and wipe clean."
  • "The material is waterproof, so it doesn't attract any nasty scents or mildew and the grips are pretty solid!"
  • "First pillow lasted a couple years with regular cleanings (make sure to clean these, the back will get nasty, it's normal)."
  • "easy to clean. No mold or mildew yet."

Cons:

  • "I didn't put much effort into cleaning it regularly, so eventually it developed an orange slime around where the suction cups were."
  • "Mine has been splitting since I got it 6 months ago and it's almost split in 2."
  • "The seam started to separate and the foam pillow inside absorbed a ton of water."
  • "After about one year of use it started falling apart and mold appears to be growing inside of it."
  • "It was nice until I used it and the pinhole leak inside one of the suction cup seats started absorbing water."
  • "The corner split open fairly quickly, so there was a hole that filled up with water."
  • "The pillow ripped after only one use. The inner core is now soaking wet!"

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

  • "Love the contemporary look and design of these."
  • "I like that the extra portion at the top makes it easy to conform to different types of tubs."
  • "Works for my claw foot tub. I was worried about the curve of the tub, but one use and it molded right to it. Doesn’t move around on you while you're in the tub either."
  • "Very comfortable. Great for tubs with a narrow ledge."
  • "I really like the shape of this bath pillow. It makes it more comfortable for your neck."
  • "Really like this -- nice fabric covering that doesn't get dirty/mold etc. Very comfortable."
  • "This is a great SPA pillow. I have now had this pillow in my Hot Tub for over four years and it still looks and feels good."

Cons:

  • "Such a shame. It seems like a well-made pillow (other than the USELESS suction cups), but it's just such an odd shape that it's completely useless as a back cushion."
  • "Note that this cushion is shoulder-width wide which is problematic if your tub is the usual shape and curves."
  • "The vinyl / plastic covering is just not very comfortable."
  • "The pillow its self is ok, rubbery in texture and the suction cups are average."
  • "Some people might not be a fan of the thinner profile of this pillow in comparison to others."
  • "Love it overall, but wish it was shaped a bit different as it does not support your back at all."
  • "The little hinge in this pillow just plain doesn't work well with it."
