I always have a hard time finding that "Just Right" pillow. Hence, I have a variety of memory foam and gel type pillow, trying to get that perfect thickness, resilience, and feel. I have been using this pillow for about 5 days now. One thing I have noticed about most of the foam type pillows is that there is usually a distinctive odor when you first take it out of the package. This one is no different, though I have to say it was a bit stronger than others I have bought. It is fading, and it isn't so unpleasant that it is unbearable, but that is one thing to consider when purchasing a foam pillow. In the positive side, this pillow is the perfect thickness for my tastes and has just the right firmness and resilience. I also like that it is a full sized "queen" pillow. Most memory foam pillows are hard to find in any size other than standard. It also has a very nice, soft outer cover. Over all, I would say this is one of the better foam pillows I have tried.
