These are great pillows for what I need them for. While we aren’t sleeping directly on them every night they do seem very comfortable, however, not as firm as I would’ve expected. I have fallen asleep on one a few times. These are more or less to put in our pillow shams and are more for the “decor”aspect. They seem to be good quality and I have not noticed any feathers poking through or any “shedding”. I gave the 4 stars because I can’t give a true review as we don’t sleep directly on them every night.
