[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'OK, let\'s clear up a few things:\n1) I am a real buyer, was not given this pillow, was not paid to review this pillow. There\'s no way I\'m doing any of that.\n2) I want everyone to know exactly what I\'m giving an opinion on. This "Beckham Hotel" pillow is the very same as others called "Sleep Restoration Super Plush Gel-Fiber Filled Pillows". That\'s what the package the two pillows (costing $35 total) came in reads, and there\'s a small bar-coded sticker with tiny writing indicating the Beckham Hotel re-branding.\n3) There\'s NO smell. There\'s NO mildew. They arrived factory clean and shipped in a nice, zipped plastic container bag.\n4) They arrive dead flat. When you remove them, they start to fluff up. I\'d say after an hour or so they are ready to use. Fluff them a bit, and you can sleep on them right away. It\'s not necessary to put them in a dryer and in fact it could be detrimental. Not sure.\n5) I waited a month to write this because I wanted to be sure I liked the pillows. I do!\n6) I had some doubts at first because I thought they\'d be too soft, but after a couple of nights I would now describe them as soft, yet firm enough to support my head and neck correctly. I start out sleeping on my side and of course, at some point end up on my back, and then often back on my side.\n7) They\'re heavy enough to no move around, but not heavy like a (solid) memory foam pillow is. They stay put in other words.\n8) I purchased the queen sized ones. Now, it was sort of interesting to me that these are 20 inches wide, and yet a queen size pillowcase is also 20 inches wide. Yet, a pillow is quite high and a pillowcase is of course - flat. This means it requires some effort to squeeze the pillow into the pillowcase. BUT, perhaps this makes the pillow seem a bit firmer than my initial impression of it was in paragraph #6. At any rate, it works and these have worked out well for me.\n9) I woke up in a hotel about 4 years ago with neck pain and had it ever since. All sorts of chiropractic efforts, daily neck stretches, painkillers, etc. just didn\'t seem to get rid of it. I ditched my Tempur-Pedic s-shaped solid memory foam pillow and tried several other pillows I got locally. They all went back. I got these pillows, continued on the daily neck stretches and now I\'m feeling fine with no more neck pain. I noticed about a week ago I was waking up with no more neck pain. That\'s a relief.\n\nThat\'s about all I can tell you Amazon shoppers. Buying a pillow is a wilderness of choice. I spent a LOT of hours on here looking. And of course pillows, and the comfort of them, is very personal and subjective. I can only say, for me, these worked out. If they don\'t for you, I assume you can return them, possibly with some shipping cost. I don\'t know. I\'m not a regular Amazon customer and not a Prime member.\nBest of luck finding yours!\n-MSW'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I was awake in the middle of the night tossing and turning after getting my 2 week old back to sleep. My pillow was a ball of mess. Log on to Facebook and see the the Today Show has recommended these pillows. In a haze I swiped to make my purchase. The first night they arrived I used one and didn’t tell my husband about the other. I literally hit the pillow and was out before our newest addition was asleep. Apparently I slept so good that night, that I didn’t hear the baby crying or hear my husband up with her. He thought I had died in my sleep so he grabs me to try to wake me. He claims I gave him a look of death and was out again. I slept until11am the following morning. Ashamed I slept so long I had to explain myself. The next night he got to test the pillow. Needless to say, 5 nights later I no longer toss and turn. Hands down the best pillow!!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'So happy I ordered these pillows! They are the perfect combo of soft and firm. I have been sleeping better and waking with less soreness in my neck. I was previously sleeping with a memory foam pillow that was just way too firm. This is so much better! Please note that these pillows come flat in a vacuum-sealed bag. They puff up nicely when you take them out. Also, no mold problem. They arrived crisp and clean.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Hotel quality and I love it. I have seen some reviews saying this product had mold - that is not the case. The pillows were recieved vacuum sealed and takes a few minutes to fluff up. The cool feeling when laying on the pillow is great. I found that I do not sweat and overheat with these quality pillows.\nI would and will buy these in the future, it's a huge steal for the price!!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I wrote a two star review years, the pillows were lumpy and subpar quality. Recently the company reached out to me multiple times to get me to delete the review. At first I refused but then they upped the refund to $40 and said they were really trying to do better as a company so I agreed.\nWell... no refund and ghosted me as soon as I deleted it.

Same exact pillow I bought previously, on the right.\n\nPillows are a lot like men to me. Most I come across, I don\'t particularly care for. Others I eye and ohh and ahh over their expensive qualities and good looks, but I don\'t just take anything home. No, first I\'ll cyber stalk and read every line and review I can get my hands on, then I may ask a question or two, and spend time with it to see what it does under pressures. Because I\'ve had my heart, and yes indeed, neck broken, and support is alongside Godliness and I\'m choosing what I\'ll be with every night, and they got to love me as much as I love them.\n\nI chose this pillow, loved this pillow, spent years buying it for myself and others for birthdays and anniversaries and housewarming parties...because I wanted everyone to enjoy and love it as much as I did. Instead of getting my hair or nails done, or shopping for shoes or a new sweater, for self-love I\'d buy another set and use the old in my duvet shams, and all the flowers and chocolates, and tender words of endearment...never made me feel more spoiled. It was divine.\n\nIt was one thing I could count on in my life to be PERFECT. Your family can be struck down with Covid, your job may lay you off, you make take on more weight faster than a sinking ship, and hear your mother\'s compliments on too wide of hips, and split ends, but it was always waiting for me, in all of it\'s glory, and made my world a better place.\n\nI had two boxes of vacuumed packed pillows sitting in my closet, because when you find something this perfect, you\'re a fool to let them sell out or be discontinued, and will spend your whole life looking for a replacement with some kind of resemblance, only to be disappointed. Yesterday when I slid my scissors across the top, I was already grinning and waiting to pull the pillow out since it\'d leave the bag bursting at the seams since they inflate so rapidly - - only it didn\'t happen. I pulled out the flat compressed lumps and set them up to air and tried fluffing them, and left them overnight before putting them in the dryer in hopes of fluffing them up - - but they feel significantly less and are as fluffed as they will get. I ran to my room and stripped down my old, comparing tags, because this was a mistake. This wasn\'t really my pillow, but an imposter. Dang it, I must\'ve ordered a different size somehow. But no. Same size, "same" pillow, the only thing different is RN numbers which mean absolutely nothing to me, only that I\'ve been betrayed and feel the pain of being replaced with something a year newer and half the weight that hasn\'t even filled out like people do in time. I hate them with more resentment than one should, but these were actually meaningful to me, and now they\'re never going to be the same.\n\nBeckman, you can take my one star and stuff it in someone else\'s pillow, so their neck doesn\'t hit the mattress when they lay down. You cut corners and got greedy and decided people would still buy your pillows at the same price without noticing...and you were wrong. Do you even sleep on your own pillows? Is there a third generation running this business who\'s too busy at the country club and in Mexico too many times a year to care about the worker bee\'s buying these pillows? You can paint greed up and down and it\'s still gonna be ugly. While my return window may be closed, I\'ll warn others so they know what to expect. So the ones faithful to you will know you weren\'t faithful back.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I rolled the dice, and took a chance, despite reading reviews of getting unsealed pillows with stains on them. Turns out, one of the two pillows I got were exactly that, not sealed, and had a stain. The seller was the default "etailz", and they have a 99% positive feedback. I guess I fell into that 1% negative with this pillow order. I guess I\'ll go the old fashioned route when buying a new pillow, and get one in a store, rather than rolling the chance dice again, not knowing what I\'ll get. Their quality control really needs to improve, if so many people have been saying the same thing.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I like the pillows but I also found them at TJMAXX 2 for $19.99. Exact same pillows.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I've had these pillows for 6 weeks and I've come to the conclusion that I absolutely hate them. I bought them because I'm allergic to down and dust mites, and I was so focused on something hypoallergenic that I didn't consider neck comfort.\n\n1) I am a side sleeper and these pillows have insane amounts of rise. If I slept in the middle of these I'd look like the Bent-Neck Lady from the Haunting of Hill House. I can only sleep at the edge, and it's very uncomfortable. Every day I wake up with neck pain.\n\n2) They're not really that soft or moldable. It's even harder to sleep on them because it feels they're actively resisting my body weight.\n\nI was hoping that sleeping on these would soften them up and make the rise go down, but I waited to long and now I can't even return them. The only redeeming things I think of for this pillow is that they look nice on a bed and also have a relatively neutral temperature. They'd make a decent body pillow, except I bought them as a neck pillow.\n\nI don't understand how these have so many 5-star reviews. These pillows are an absolute nightmare and I would not recommend them to anyone."}]
