I like them, I’m not in love with them yet, but I just got them last week so I haven’t had time to really bond with them. I’m brutal on pillows, BRUTAL - I punch them, flip them to the cool side incessantly, wad them in a ball, flip them again, fluff them, pull them toward my head, then away from my head, all in the space of, oh an hour. You guessed it, there hasn’t been a lot of restful sleep going on at my house.
I’ve watched the infomercials about how these pillows are the end all, I’ve talked to people, our neighbors, Don and Jacquie have them, they hate them, my buddy V has them, she loves them, her hubby, Rich hates them. Zuilly occasionally has these pillows for a good price, $64.99 for a set of king size, and when they came back in stock a few weeks ago I ordered them.
Now LC was just shaking his head, he’s lived the pillow wars with me. I’ve had goose down, duck down, chicken feathers, foam, gel, poly filled, are you starting to get the picture here? I’ve spent a chunka change on pillows over the years and they just aren’t all that! Currently I have this worn out feather pillow that I drag everywhere like Linus with his blanket. Seriously, if we’re going on a car trip, that pillow is the first thing that is loaded. Other people have horrid pillows too, it’s just not me and I detest a hard, unyielding pillow with a purple passion!!!
So last week the pillows arrive, it takes for-ev-er to get things from Zuilly, I’m spoiled with Amazon Prime, Zuilly is in no hurry to ship. They came in this little box, hubby unpacked them and instantly complained that we had been ripped off because they were flat as a flitter. I explained to him that V told me you had to put them in the dryer sandwiched between a damp towel, so I did that and they came out nice and puffy. I bought the soft-medium ones, I put them on the bed and took them for a spin. They are supposed to have a “cooling” effect, so you don’t put a pillow protector on them, just a 100% cotton pillow case. When you lay down they feel firm, they’re filled with shredded foam, they don’t lump, but they do adjust to your head and it’s kinda soft in the middle where the indentation is.
And what do I think of them? Well, they are not what they advertise, I still toss and turn all night, and I flip the pillow, but I no longer wad it up or fluff it, I just flip it. Does it have a cooling effect? Oh who the hell knows, I’m still hot all the time, so I’m not a judge. But I have been waking up lately with neck pain and I have to say that it’s gone now, probably in part because I’m laying on a pillow that isn’t all bunched up. I just asked LC this morning how he’s liking them and he says, “oh they’re okay I guess, I never know which pillow I’m sleeping on anyway.” Men Schmen!
But I am going to order two more of them, so I must like them. Well, actually it’s more economics and desperation. They’re decent pillows, and you don’t buy decent pillows for $32.50 apiece, at least I haven’t been able to do so.
So, if you think you might like them, go ahead, knock yourself out, pull out that old credit card and CHARGE!
The link, ya, I know you want it, here it is...
Let’s face it, you’re not breaking the bank, these pillows in king size are usually over $100 for a set. The worst case scenario, you blew $64.99, less if you buy queen size. Hope you enjoy. ~ Jan
