Comfort

Pros:

  • "This level of comfort for this price? What a win-win situation!!"
  • "I found these pillows to be comfortable."
  • "I have been sleeping on these pillows for months now. They are still as comfortable today as they were when I got them."
  • "These pillows are just as light and fluffy, and most importantly, not overstuffed."
  • "This pillow is so incredibly soft and super comfortable."
  • "These pillows are so soft and comfortable!"
  • "I absolutely love these pillows!"

Cons:

  • "Not as puffy as I was expecting."
  • "One pillow was firm - the other soft. Inconsistent."
  • "These pillows offer no support at all."
  • "These pillows are very cheaply made and extremely uncomfortable."
  • "These are not the same pillows at all, very soft, virtually no support, they will flatten out with little to no resistance."
  • "These pillows have absolutely no support. The fill is so fluffy and sparse, the minute you lay your head on it, it cuts right through and you might as well not even be laying on a pillow."
  • "I hate these pillows. The down alternative is just lumpy. Goes flat very quickly and does not even support your head while you sleep."

Quality

Pros:

  • "They were perfect! They arrived about a day before we got there... They were great for me being pregnant and propping them around my body for extra support."
  • "These were surprisingly very great quality pillows for the price!"
  • "Over the thousands of dollars I spent on Amazon, I’ve never written a product review. These pillows are fantastic."
  • "These are the best soft pillows. Bought them in king size for our bed and these are the only pillows I will ever use."
  • "I’ve been a prime member for 10 years and have never left a review. I am sooo picky about my pillows and bought these cheap ones just to fill my king shams as decoration pillows. Now I use them to sleep!!!"
  • "These pillows are fantastic. I am a side sleeper, and often times my neck will hurt without the proper support."
  • "Me and my husband are extremely picky about pillows... this is the FIRST EVER pillow that me and my husband have both LOVED."

Cons:

  • "The covers are 4 inch bigger than the actual pillow. No zip on the covers."
  • "Two of the pillows I had received were dirty and appeared to have been returned — one had noticeable makeup stains on the corner and the other had a hole in it."
  • "Then THIS HAPPENED!!!!! MOLD MUST HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN THE STUFFING!!"
  • "Not the worst pillows, but definitely not worth $20 each."
  • "Odd complaint, but the pillows smelled funky right out of the package."
  • "The Walmart pillows for 4$ are better. Please don’t waist your time."
  • "These pillows are definitely not worth the money."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "After wasting a considerable amount of money over the years, the hunt for the perfect pillow is over!"
  • "I told my mom to get some. I bought 2 orders. Worth every penny!!!"
  • "Great price and great value!"
  • "Very very comfortable and unbelievable price."
  • "Truly glad that Amazon creates a better version of items at a cheaper price. Best ever!!!!"
  • "Wow this is the best pillow(s) I've ever bought."
  • "I almost passed on this one due to price alone, I wasn't expecting much out of a $15 pillow."

Cons:

  • "Do not even bother buying, I can't return them because my bf already put them in the wash before he told me they were USED. They came in a target box!"
  • "Don't waste your money. Bite the bullet and get the real thing."
  • "I’m so angry... Avoid purchasing pillows from Amazon at all costs. I thought I was ordering new pillows because, I would NEVER order pillows that were previously sold to or used by someone else."
  • "This whole purchase has been a mistake. I won't order any more pillows from Amazon."
  • "I ordered another set thinking Amazon messed up and sent me a “soft pair”. But the 3rd order is the same. Thin, uncomfortable junk."
  • "Sadly very bad at this price. 👎"
  • "I am not kidding please believe this posting it deserves less than one star I put my head on it and it went through the pillow and still touches the bed these are the biggest waste of money I have ever seen!!"

Shipping and Packaging

Pros:

  • "They came quickly and packed well."
  • "When they arrive, they're in vacuum-packed bags, so don't worry about receiving a gigantic box."
  • "One EXCELLENT thing is that whoever packed them took the time to put a cardboard strip under the flaps so that if one uses a knife (as I do) to open the package, the product will not be cut."

Cons:

  • "I only wanted 4 separate pillows but didn't understand they came shipped in boxes."
  • "Product is fine what IAM upset about is first off I was told delv Monday June 15th glad it came early but was left in front of my door outside and if I wasn't home no telling if it would still be there."
  • "The pillows arrived today and are very, very cheap."
  • "I thought it was a little odd when I opened my package there was only one pillow inside."
  • "I had previously purchased a set of these pillows. Ordered a new set and only received one."
  • "The fact that I thought I was getting (PACK OF 2) pillows like it says on the title but I only got one :))))"
  • "I ordered once and only received one pillow which I thought must be a mistake so returned the pillow and re-ordered and again, only received one pillow."
