I bought this pillow because my daughter raved about it and I loved the idea of sleeping on a bamboo laden pillow. I'm still trying to figure this pillow out. It is extremely heavy/dense; I am used to fluffing a pillow and moving it around at night-which you can't do with this pillow. It is, however, very spongy and soft and conforms nicely to the shape and position of your head. It is thicker than I am used to so my head feels a little higher up (and I am a bit concerned about my neck), but it hasn't bothered me yet. I like the way it cushions my head so it stays in position when I sleep on my back. It's definitely a strange fella, this pillow. I think I like it?!
